The FDM arrived 39 minutes ago? But in UK it's middle of the night. How's that possible?

Oh my...

The FDM was being sent to MWeston, not Craig; MWeston is located in Canada.

I see on the right panel, in the bottom several "empty" links: Array, Happy new year of the Pandora!, Updates for December ..... They all point to http://openpandora.org/ and not to a particular news post on the website.
Unfortunately, the news / blog posts aren't directly linkable.

Thanks again for the heads up Mali. Nice numbers. I'm just about to fall off my perch into a bed but I'm sure one of the others will amble through shortly.

In other news, I've got ten bucks that says the blog will crack the 5,000 hit mark today. biggrin.gif

Done.

Could someone who's seen that tribute video blog it? I would, but I can't watch it because Macs suck.

Looks like it's happened already! It's already at 5,100 views today, with approximately 4 hours to go. I reckon it'll easily hit 6,000.

Thanks for the comments. I could easily have demoed more games if I plugged in a USB game pad, but that was defeating the purpose of this video and I will leave ole Zoddy to do that kind of stuff as he works on more and more stable builds. smile.gif

To be honest, I have never tried the Angstrom builds because I have been worried it is a complicated process and I have to reformat a memory card with an ext2 partition and stuff like that. I will talk to DJ Willis about it and see if I can get something going before the weekend.

It should be interesting to see it working with the internal keyboard which is probably what some people want to see. I can type at like 90 wpm on a full sized keyboard, but I bet as soon as the buttons are small (and with no labels!) I'll be hunting and pecking like a muthaf.... uh well you know. smile.gif

The CNC is being ordered on monday.

But it will just be a shiny version of the same thing, we really want to move ahead now and not delay this anymore.
