Wii Hacking Part 1 [Updated]

3 Comments

Ok, Just thought I would throw together a quick guide on how to hack the wii.

DO NOT SKIP ANY OF THESE STEPS UNLESS I TELL YOU TO!!!!

Supply List:

SD Card (2-8 gigs will work)
A Portable Hard Drive (160 gigs+, depending on the number of games you want to backup)
A Wii on system 4.2 or less. (Haven’t tried past 4.2 yet.)
Small amount of technical knowledge to get you through this.

If your Wii is already hacked and are looking to find out more about homebrew click here to go to the second part of my Wii Tutorial

Podcast

The podcast is currently dead.

I spent a lot of time getting it to work but I’m about ready to give up completely.

There are two major problems with the podcast.

1. Internet

2. Computer

My internet connection is terrible, I hate it. I can’t stand that my internet is currently running at 2.7mbps MAX. while my iPhone is somewhere around 3.4mpbs MAX.
It drives me crazy. I using AT&T DSL and while I know they are terrible my only other choice is Comcast, which is supposedly even worse. At this point I could careless which one is worse because what I’m getting now is making me want to break down in tears on most days.

If it rains my internet goes out and when it comes back it takes days before its at 100% again. Sorry I should clarify that 100% in my book means Spotty when it comes to DSL.

One of my neighbors uses Comcast so maybe I’ll build a Tin Can Wifi antennae and see if its any better. I just need something to broadcast my podcast without it looking like butt.

The second problem is my computer. Before I upgraded to a Mac book I was using an amazing Shuttle PC, that thing rocked balls. All day all night. but now its merely a shadow of its former glory. It ran windows XP perfectly, never a problem. One day I decided to upgrade to Vista, but it never worked, killed my hard drive had to start fresh. Went back to XP was happy again so I tried 7. Same problems with 7 as I did with vista if not worse. So I haven’t touched that bastard in months.

At this moment I need to pull the whole computer out and start fresh. Brand new spanking install, perhaps even server software to dish up my dvd’s to my xbox. It’s really a disgrace.

Once I have it fixed I might be able to run a decent podcast without nearly as many problems.

Ruckus

No Comments

My 2008 Honda Ruckus is over a year old and carries about 2700 miles on it. Right now my top speed is 35-38 mph. Which to me is pretty slow. It takes about 1 city block to get to 30 MPH. I have an after market exhaust which will more then likely be taken off soon than later at this point.

I’ve done my best keeping up with maintenance. Work caused a few delays but it runs as smooth as it has since I bought it.

I want to try and document my journey through modding the Ruck. I have on order a new Variator, Roller weights, CDI, Drop-in Air Filter, and a new drive belt.

I’m not expecting the thing to go 50, but one or two miles will be a much need improvement. anything that will get my acceleration and top speed up will be good.

Going to try and keep this updated with pictures and hopefully guides on how to do things.

Room

2 Comments

My room is a mess, I need it cleaned so I can be a bit more productive. Maybe even get it submitted to Lifehackers workspace flickr.

First things first, Clean. Lots of trash is in there right now, that stuff needs to go.

Second, clean out the drawers to the dresser. That thing is filled with crap. Too much worthless crap. Once its clean, get rid of it. It takes up too much space for it only to be filled with junk.

Third, move my bed to the opposite site of the room. Not sure how well that will go over of if it will add any productivity to the room, but I feel like it needs to be done. May consider a smaller bed to make more space in my room. If I had something less than a King there would be loads of space.

Fourth, create a useful work space. I want to have separate parts to my room. Each section will bring to mind the purpose of it. The entertainment area which has comfy relaxing chairs and a sumo. A small couch if I can find one. The bed, which will be used for sleep. No longer associate it with late night laptop browsing. A work bench for computer and electronics work. Closet for music, clothes, and whatever else I have laying around.

Fifth, work with Sam to put together a painting of some sort across my walls.

More to come on this topic though.

Code

No Comments

I want to learn to code, I used to know HTML, CSS, C++, and a bit of C# now I feel like I don’t know any. I could code up websites blind folded and now I depend on WordPress and someone else’s themes. So starting Monday I’m going to relearn to code. Not really sure where to begin, but more than likely HTML. Something basic until I move on to my goal of Objective-C.

I will try and post as many samples of code I’m working on so I can keep my goals in line.

Nixon

Can anyone even remember now what Nixon did that was so terrible? He ended the war in Vietnam, brought home the POWs, ended the war in the Mideast, opened relations with China, started the first nuclear weapons reduction treaty, saved Eretz Israel’s life, started the Environmental Protection Administration. Does anyone remember what he did that was bad?

Oh, now I remember. He lied. He was a politician who lied. How remarkable. He lied to protect his subordinates who were covering up a ridiculous burglary that no one to this date has any clue about its purpose. He lied so he could stay in office and keep his agenda of peace going. That was his crime. He was a peacemaker and he wanted to make a world where there was a generation of peace. And he succeeded.

That is his legacy. He was a peacemaker. He was a lying, conniving, covering up peacemaker. He was not a lying, conniving drug addict like JFK, a lying, conniving war starter like LBJ, a lying, conniving seducer like Clinton—a lying, conniving peacemaker.
