So out of curiosity I googled myself, and something unexpected came up. Check it out:

I wasn’t aware of this! I never attended UC Davis nor have I ever discussed with anyone about performing my arrangement there. Weird! That’s pretty awesome. It was also listed on a Saxophonist’s web site under his list of repertoire. Even cooler! It’s been performed by 4 colleges now, the first performance was right after I wrote it…I was like 18. The UCD performance was a few years ago.

I was commisioned with a task to upgrade a couple 360's. Needless to say one of them was brand spanking new. Still in the box to be exact. Well, the 83850c Lite-on drives don't like to have their firmware dumped. Reading through countless articles and posts i decided a solder method was the only way to go.
With permission, i dove in.

This is the board with the protective film removed. I used my leatherman and scraped it off with my knife.

Here are my soldered joints. Not bad for a first time on a super small board ;)

And a close up of the solders.

The switch to enable/disbale the ground.

All put back together and ready to dump :)

Notes:
Use jungle flasher
1. Intro the drive
2. Read the firmware.
3. Make a dummy copy (right click)
4. Load dummy in source, let it auto-ixtreme it.
5. Repair drive (put all the cuts and solders back)
6. Intro it again.
7. Click "Write"
8. Enjoy

So, I’m looking into playing a few games again now that I have lots of idle time for winter break.
Here’s what’s lined up so far:
Dragon Age Origins
Final Fantasy XII (Yeah, for PS2 ho ho)
Final Fantasy IV (for the DS – started this a few years ago and never finished it)
TF2
L4D 2
Other than those, my friend Tom is trying to pull me into Ragnarok Online which is a terrible and sloppy game. Maybe if I was interested in the worst grind ever and tons of inconsistencies (characters and storyline). No WoW either, keep that cancerous game at bay.
If anyone has suggestions, feel free.
