After Berta and Abby went to bed for the night, I got out my tools and ripped apart the XBox again. My goal was to put a bigger hard drive into the XBox so that I could store more pirated games information in it. This project was doomed from the start.
Is it just me, or did they cart Reagan’s dead butt all over creation?
And on that note, I present you with the new RNC ticket for 2004.
We have optional homework for Astronomy class. I’m not even sure when it’s due. This teacher has been somewhat fuzzy on these issues; for example, the syllabus says that attendance is part of our grade, but he has yet to take roll. Anyway…
A “scale model” in this case is when you compare something that is too large to be comprehended to something that really relates the size. My favorite example from last night is one regarding the number of stars in the universe.
After having played with it for a while, there are a few things that bother me about this XBox mod chip and the software that is available for it.
The Xenium apparently has some kind of problem with there being a non-Microsoft controller plugged into any port when the XBox boots. I have installed XeniumOS 1.1, which is supposed to take care of this issue, but it doesn’t. The system just hangs at the boot screen if you have anything other than a real MS controller plugged in. I’m anxious to get XeniumOS 2.0, which looks very cool, and hopefully solves this issue.
Another short weekend down the drain.
We killed Friday evening going out with Mom to the slowest moving buffet I’ve ever seen. This Chinese buffet is one of those places (like the PA DMV or the Chester County Library) that you go into around 6pm expecting to spend a half hour or so eating, and you end up walking out and it’s quarter til 11 and you feel hungry. Weird.
