time for a post - NOOKcolor / Xbox issues

I guess it's Aug 22nd and I should post something (see, now every other month on the 22nd ... ha!).

I rooted my mom's NOOKcolor again... It likes to kill itself it seems if you don't reboot soon after. Like, root it, load up software, reboot couple hour later, and it'll not come up. So I wipe /data and start again and reboot right after accepting Market's terms and it is OK again. meh!

Going to Virginia tomorrow. Bringing the two WRAP.2E boards to load up. Probably OpenWRT, maybe try some FreeBSD, maybe another linux that's between OpenWRT and a full Debian.. They now have b43 cards for wifi and those 900mhz XR2's or whatever. a 128MB, 64MB, and 1GB CompactFlash coming with. I tried to load XP, but I think the bootloader chokes without a keyboard controller.

In other news, I got banned from XBOX Live. GAH! Permanently, or at least until 12/31/9999. lol. The secondary accounts on the Gold Family Pack still work, so fuck it! Just want to know if I'll ever be able to reuse the name 'neutronscott' on there. Funny they don't ban the console, and will allow you to just make another account. I guess it's about the money. Always is with Microsoft...

EDIT: Timezone issue, guess this post will be dated the 21st then. oh well.
