It was quite fun a few hiccups but nothing major. I think there was a total of 11 people playing which was pretty good as well for a little lan–I cant’ wait for another.

So today the last thing I needed to do my Wii Modchip install came in…I’m using OpenWii, I put the socket outside of the Wii so I can easily update the sob later on.

It was a long process collecting the proper tools/parts:

  • MicroChip 12F629 PIC
  • 8pin IC Socket
  • JDM Programmer
  • Tri-Wing Screwdriver

The disassembly:

So today my learner guitar arrived at the house, I couldn’t wait for it, I paid something like 50 bucks shipped for it…

 Baja Electric Guitar Starter Kit

It’s pretty decent I think, comes with some picks, tuning pipe, carrying case, strap, amp, wire, and guitar (duh) …

Getar!

My neighbor comes by yesterday asking me if i wanted some old computer he found. I didn’t really care too much but he was going to toss it if I didn’t take it. I said what the hell let me take a look maybe it will work better then my current rig for my CarPC. It was actually pretty decent, a Compaq S4000NX:

Computer

  • 2.4Ghz Celeron
  • 128mb Ram (Ouch!)
  • CD-RW
  • 40GB Hard drive
  • XP Home COA — YAY!

The hard drive made a horrible whine when we plugged it in and the floppy drive is dead–both are easily fixed, I got stacks lying around. Now only if the car it’s going into ran…
