Firmware hell

Posted on October 25, 2007 by baudattitude

Last year my wife got me a really keen swissbit MP3-player/Swiss Army Knife gadget for my birthday. It made a pretty darn good MP3 player for walking, since I didn’t have to worry about destroying a hard disk, and it … Continue reading →

“Let’s Learn Japanese” progress: 29/52 I started the second season back in August and watched 27 & 28… then got off track. Posting here to keep myself in-line. It’s not directly tied to the material covered on the JLPT, but … Continue reading →
