Yesterday i got an invitation to the latest contest on Infectious.com. Its to do with Mimobots those awesome designer usb drives!


so i submitted around 4 designs. the only design criteria is that you can use only 8colours, no gradients, and the template they give you(the teddybear one). their selection process is quite stringent..the in house quality control judges go over the design and decide whether its worthy of being in the contest or not.

so far only one of my designs has made it to voting.. luckily it was my favorite anyway

this is it:


if you like it, please go to this link and vote for it to win!!

!!!UPDATE!!!

I've also revised one of the older ones.. will see if it gets through this time..its another bones design.. meantime did another one and sent it in. more on these later

I saw this article on lifehacker long ago(lifehacker link), but never got round to doing it until now...
I've been using homebrew apps on my psp for years, now i can do the same on my wii too!
Basically i used the Twilight hack, (which requires that you have a copy of Zelda-Twilight Princess)

coz my firmware version was 2.x whereas the newer/easier Bannerbomb exploit will only work on 3.x and higher ...
heres the homebrew channel getting installed-

this channel is where you can install and run other homebrew apps and games..
after that installation, i installed the Homebrew Browser app which les you browse through available homebrew apps and install them directly off of the net!

its a bit like the app managers in ubuntu and other Linux distros these days
I used it to install a few small(in terms of file size) apps successfully, but repeated tries to instal MPlayer Christmas edition failed for some reason..

finally managed to instal a different version.. so now i have DVD Playback!! This seems like an obvious out of the box option for a game console , but nintendo excluded it from the wii in order to cut costs(they have to pay for DVD playback codecs and stuff... cheapos!)
Anyway, i got it now, so there..
now am looking at what homebrew apps to instal
