    "7 days with Pandora's box"

    Well, all Padora's names should be "Hope" or whatever is the translation in your native language, as it is found inside a Pandora's Box... :-) Anyway, I didn't call mine "Espoir" so feel free not to :-) My first contact with my Legendary Marvel has been very sparce over the week-end, having...

    New LCD Cables finished too early (2010 - 03 - 18)

    We all do think about them. I was simply stunned that the Tokyo stock exchange drop a few days after the earthquake and everybody finding this fact normal. I think that it is a real shame, when a company does a financial effort to help recovery, to say "hey, your decrease in your benefits will...

    A schedule! For real! (2011 - 02 - 28)

    It's arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to play with it, I'll provide my review on Monday :-) By the way, did you write "Hope" inside the packaging box ? :-)

    New LCD Cables finished too early (2010 - 03 - 18)

    More than that, death happens, as it has sadly been massively the case in Japan, and everything they could do there has been tried so the figure is probably reasonable count given the event - a sentence which shall do no good to all the people who are now sadly missing someone, unfortunately...

    A schedule! For real! (2011 - 02 - 28)

    After all that, after second tought, I decided to go for premium. I'm now waiting fort my Pandora to come, and I'll gladly tell you how well it is worth the wait (I do not doubt it will...) More than that, I'll be holding a conference on Linux on ARM at the next Solutions Linux at Paris la...

    A schedule! For real! (2011 - 02 - 28)

    Well, do I understand this well... Ordering at the iControlPad shop means ordering a Premium Pandora, right ? Will it mess things up if I order a premium in addition to the one I'm expecting ? Will it speed up things for the non-premium, as well for the whole project ? I hope so much it...

    A schedule! For real! (2011 - 02 - 28)

    Just a noob question probably : the approximate number provided by Jacqelyn relates to Craig's queue or to the entire queue ?

    The console is called Pandora, and its users might refer themselves as Sisyphus...

    Booting from the pandora

    Nothing is impossible, it is just a matter of time and competence. I have yet to see how a CD/DVD USB drive sees through the USB bus, but it ought to be quite documented. I guess it should behave just as a SCSI drive - if I am correct, mass storage already implements SCSI over USB. However...

    It's my birthday. Where's my Pandora? You godless, soul-eating, fun-murderers.

    Well, I'd throw in another geeky literature reference : It's my non-Birthday today :-)

    Thanks for the article Craigix

    Might be luckier with ARTE ?

    Thanks for the article Craigix

    Well... What sounds mostly disturbing to me is that use rules are set to secure a business plan - which is so far nowhere wrong - but this securing is made at the expense of the possibility for smaller businesses to exist (I am only speaking of legal businesses) - namely home-brew games. Some...

    A schedule? For real? (2011 - 02 - 24)

    The whole story behind all that is really impressive. I'm not a 1st day-er but I've now been waiting for much more than a year, and I'm still waiting for my Pandora toy to come here as if I had ordered it yesterday ! CircuitCo becoming aware of Mass Prod procedures is a real benefit too, an...

    Pandora The best programming language for the Pandora?

    Well, using the "static" keyword you can have a variable whose scope is the file in which it is declared. When, further on, you declare a variable in a function, its scope is limited to the function. You can even declare a variable local to a block. But yes, nothing in between. However, you...

    Pandora The best programming language for the Pandora?

    Well, if you're speaking about 80's BASICs then yes, you're fully right. If you're considering one of the latest non-MS Basics, BBC Basic, then programming does become way more structured, and could apply well (it did apply not too bad on the Acorn Archimedes, the computer without which the...

    More boards, more software (2011 - 01 - 24)

    I wish I were sure I'd get it much sooner than that... Being in the 2400's it should do, but who knows... Anyway, the status page being updated sometimes is both a great thing (no other company is that much transparent) and a source of frustration : I already wish I could read that OP#2500 has...

    Python hardware support

    Well, if i read from : there, the Jazelle RCT is marketized as good for Python, so it's worth a try... However, digging the instruction manual gives you right, it is announced as a "trivial implementation"... Too bad...

    Python hardware support

    Well, you're probably fully right, and I'm probably looking for a few microsecs gain, but has anyone ever considered riting the Python virtual machine and optimized it using Jazelle ? I guess it could be a fairly profitable approach - again once the SDL has been decently optimized for the...
