A little bit of everything...

Finally school ended (just for a while) and I have time to post the stuff I have been doing for the last couple of weeks...

Xbox Mod.

After like 3 or 4 days trying to Softmod my xbox (modding via some hack through a game), it worked!
I rented a game (Mechassault) and then I opened a joystick and soldered an usb connector to it. After that, I copied a save of Mechassault into an usb stick, and then I loaded it through the game. After loading it, I could boot linux! hahhaa After doing that, I installed some softwares into the Xbox.
Some of the stuff I can do now are: Listen to my mp3s, watch my videos, play emulator games such as MAME, SNES, NES, etc., read the news, browse the web , etc, etc... haha
Here are some pics of the result:





OSX in my PC (x86)

I used a dvd install and it worked pretty much out of the box, but the network did not work. I tried like 5 different fixes for it, but none of them worked plus it was kind of unstable, so I gave up with OSX... Until I got the real deal haha (this is OSX in an Apple computer...)

Movies

I watched City of God (Brasilian movie) and It was really good. It talks straight up about poverty and corruption in Brasil, and it gives a different perspective from that we all have with the beaches of Rio de Janeiro and people enjoying some cocktails in a coconut. It is definitely a strong movie, so be prepared!
I give the movie 8 out of 10 TUXES AHAHHAHAHA
