Despite all the usual online outlets of Wii games being out of stock and only taking limit preorders, I was able to walk into my local Gamestation and but Wii fit as a surprise for my other half. Only managed a few games on it last night but boy can you feel what it’s doing - i’ll cover it in more detail after the weekened when i’ve had more opportunity to play….erm, excercise.
My faith in Royal Mail has been restored. At 7:30am this morning my door belt went and was greeted by the post man handing me an Amazon box.
I only had 30 minutes before I left for work but it’s a great game! I played a quick Grand Prix and then a quick online game against 5 people from Japan! Really easy to get it all working.
If/When you get it, my Mario Kart friend number (doesn’t seem to use normal Wii friends that I already have listed) is 5370-0527-3821.
Fingers crossed, I’ve just had the confirmation of shipping from Amazon - the much anticipated Wii Mario Kart is released tomorrow here in Europe, Japan had it today whilst sorry, across the pond have to wait until the end of the month!
Did you ever fancy trying out the much talked about OLPC operating system but didn’t fancy buying one? Well it turns out you can, courtesy of a Virtual Machine image (VMWare) of the OS. Grab one of the .zip files, eg OLPC-649.zip, extract it to get a virtual disk file (convert it if you need to) and you’ll be able to play with it…I was looking out of curiousity, it doesn’t really compare when you have your normal suite of software available.
You can download the image from here
I think i’m suffering from Desktop Tower Defence addiction - I showed it to the guys in the office on Friday and i think we’ve been playing in every spare moment we have….
Don’t try it - you might like it!
At long last Google Apps Gmail has been updated to the same version as the gmail.com version. Bringing with it the ability to colour code tags, new contact management etc etc…it took a while to get it to the Google Apps servers it would seem!
Blu-Ray specifications currently under development require an internet connection - interesting! I guess since most of the drives are software upgradable that means that with an internet connection that process could be made automatic as well as providing a mechanism for key revocation?? What if the internet connection was used as an authorisation process for actually playing the content?
BBC comedy always says it best, if you’ve arranged a wedding then you’ll understand these videos!
Any subversion gurus out there? We have what seems a simple operation but can’t figure out how to perform it. Basically, we want to export files for a specific revision - not the whole repository, just the ones in a revision. If we do a ’show log’ we can see the files we want but (using Subclipse) but how do we export them? - and no, we can’t just walk down the history and pull them out one by one…
