Spirit has turned five; Opportunity will in 21 days.

The initial NASA plan was for 3 months. 5 Years and counting looks fantastic :)

It's good he didn't try simulating Toad's Turnpike in Mirror mode!

24 de noviembre de 2008, 14:08(+01:00) - New twilight hack
If you accidentally updated to System Menu 3.4, there's a new version of Twilight Hack, which will enable homebrew yet again :)

Turns out Nintendo fixed some bugs, but added some others. Wait, wasn't that called a "feature"?

In other news, on Friday a "big friend" of GNU/Linux came here to Göteborg. Some friends from the student house and I had planned to go to Park Lane (a disco) but just before taking the bus we changed our mind and went to a polish friend's polish friend's apartment and ate something I cannot spell.. yet (don't worry, it didn't look indecent). Maybe not using the polish remover in a while can be a good idea, because he was there..

19 de noviembre de 2008, 07:15(+01:00) - Wii Update 3.4 = porca miseria
Wii System Menu Update 3.4 blocks all the currently known methods of homebrew installation, so if you plan to develop or test homebrew in your Wii, don't install it.

If you really absolutely need the new Mii or Shop Channels, there are other ways: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Shop_and_IOS51_installer, http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Mii_Channel_Updater.

More info here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/System_Menu_3.4.

(As seen in PlanetaLinux MX)
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

"¿A qué hora se desayuna? | När äter man frukost här? | Ner éter man frukóst jér?" - Métodos Robertson, "¿Quiere ud. saber Sueco en 10 días?"

(parrot-style learning book, but useful for picking up some vocabulary and abstracting the grammar rules if one has the basics..)

The second closest:

"Nuestra conversación escapó a los límites de una charla literaria: Suecia había recibido a miles de refugiados y su democracia estaba entre dos juegos; no le interesaba al capitalismo duro, ni al comunismo conservador." - Cristina Peri Rossi, "El pulso del mundo".

"Our conversation escaped the limits of literature: Sweden had received thousands of refugees and its democracy was situated between two parties; hard capitalism wasn't interested, neither was conservative communism." - Cristina Peri Rossi, "The world's pulse". (unlikely to have been translated, sadly :( )

Funny coincidence. Cristina Peri Rossi only talks about Sweden in about 2 of all the articles contained in that book..

(I currently have only about 4 books :P)
