The Hyperlogos

I finally managed to find time to assemble my Maker Shed Brain Machine Kit, and knocked it out today in spite of not having instructions until I finished. Since it is based on the Lady Ada MiniPOV3, this is a less difficult task than it sounds.

At the Santa Cruz Flea Market I got, among other things, a Magellan Maestro 4050. I already have a slightly later unit, but this one has bluetooth. They run WinCE 5 which means most relevantly that they have persistent storage. WinCE 4 and earlier devices almost uniformly have only volatile memory, so when your battery runs out, your device resets itself to its factory settings. This was likely the best design decision Microsoft could have made, because WinCE 4 was an unreliable pile of debris that would corrupt its own installation at the slightest opportunity.

In this guide, I will explain both why and how one should hack the Microsoft Xbox to run unsigned code and accept hard disk upgrades. This has been written up many times, but most of the guides are pretty old and out of date. This one will eventually also be old and out of date, but right now it's new :)

My employer formerly carried a cellphone plan for the employees, and debited the cost of phones and phone bills from pay checks. Naturally I elected to utilize this plan, and I got myself a Motorola V555 and a one-year plan. Yesterday, we had to switch over to our very own plans, as work was no longer interested in administering them. We were given the opportunity, however, to put a phone upgrade into our paychecks (coming out in two payments.) I informed the nice people from Edge that I was not interested as they did not have the RAZR V3i, at which point they informed me that they had got it about a week and a half ago (just after I last checked to see if they had it yet) and a nice man would be along in about fifteen minutes with a bag full of them.
