Using jad in combination with Eclipse makes me very happy. I think that JadClipse is one of the most useful Eclipse plugins I've used in a long long time. Being able to decompile your classes inline brings me great joy.

After reading about The Laws Of War [wikipedia.org], I kinda realized that the United States doesn't seem to have to follow these Laws.

Why do we constantly have to live under the umbrella of such obvious paradox? It slays me.

I wonder if re-enacting The Sedition Act [wikipedia.org] won't be too far down the road. Oh, wait. Bush will be gone soon enough.

Never mind.

All I have to say is that she needs to crawl back into her henna-enscribed crypt.

She just looks so...pointy?

I just had a moment where, after a very long and tiring day of work, I'm sitting on my couch, winding up my work day, listening to my favorite "Cool Down" music (which I haven't listened to in *forever*), Chill Out by The KLF, and I had this moment.

I closed my eyes and pictured something. At first, I thought it was a video game I played a long, long time ago. One of those when 'graphic story' games first came out. Adventure-like, you know, like right after Zork, but before they got too Cheesy? But, I digress. What I pictured seemed so *real*. Like I remember being there? Or playing a game about this place? Or just remembering a place I always, at one point or other in my life, have always dreamt about.

Odd, I know. But the memory (or game, or whatever) was just that, a story-type adventure, you are on roads, there are bushes, trees, dirt roads, a hill, and a grassy green meadow with a big tree in it. Fuck, man....maybe it is just an odd, weird concoction in my head.

Back to closing my eyes and meditating on it.

So, when you choose to have your status display what you're currently listening to, it's kind of like jamming to tunes with the windows open, doing your thing, and making sure those around you dig the music as much as you do.

I am reminded of spring days as a kid, windows wide open, speakers pointing out of the windows, with old UK Punk Vinyl Playing (Short, Sharp Shock, to be particular...Chaos UK) and wanting other to hear the music that I thought was so good.

Weird. I know.

This one is -excellent-


[2/11/08 18:19:43:342 CST] 0000001c CoordinatorCo W HMGR0152W: CPU Starvation detected. Current thread scheduling delay is 11 seconds.


"CPU Starvation". I'm giddy.

start > run > type in the box 'control userpasswords2' (without quotes) and click ok

up comes the old school user accounts windows, put a check mark in the 'users must enter a name and password...' box at the top and click ok, restart windows to check you work. now no auto log-on, and you need to sign in.

or if you want the auto log-on feature, you could correct the password to match the new password you added. same as above, but after putting a check mark in the 'must enter a name...' box, click apply (not ok), then remove the check mark and click apply again which will bring up the auto log-on dialog box, enter 'administrator' and type your new password twice, click 'ok' twice, reboot windows to check your work. now should boot straight to the desktop.

So, I just got my Pandora's Battery in the mail, downgraded to 1.50, then upgraded to 3.80-M33-2.

Had some issues ("This game could not be started" errors), but then found the following blurb, which fixed it all:

Much thanks to Larry at Afterdawn in posting this. Made my whole PSP hackery experience worth it. Now I have a boatload of games to play

Here are a few things you can try...

Make sure you have the ISO/CSO in the ms0:/ISO folder

Make sure you have a legit ProDuo Memory Stick. Go to Game menu memory Stick and press Triangle. A side bar will pop out go to information and press X. If the MagicGate entry says supported then you have a legit Memory Stick. If it says unkown or unsupported it is a fake memory stick.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure the title of the ISO/CSO is short.

Example:

Correct -- Fifa07.iso
Not Correct -- FIFA-07-[PSP][EUR][www.torrent site.com].iso

Go into recovery mode (Hold R shoulder button down while turning on PSP)

Now go to configuration then to UMD MODE and keep pressing X till you see Sony NP9660 NO UMD.

When it is set to the above setting go to BACK and press X.

Now go to ADVANCED and press X.

Go to ADVANCED CONFIGURATION and press X.

Make sure all the settings here are disabled.

Now EXIT out of recovery.

Now try the ISO/CSO.
