(no subject)

So I gave the keys back to my old apartment complex, and my keyring is much lighter.

I'm getting more unpacked every day.

Also, I've hacked my Wii. Perhaps a little too hard, as I think I might have corrupted a few strange system functions. Fortunately, I think I know how to restore it from a backup I made more or less immediately after I hacked it.

Wii haxoring (updated)

If you have a Nintendo Wii, and you haven't hacked it yet, you have no excuse.

All you need is an SD card, on which you download three things:

1. Bannerbomb, the exploit that will allow you to sneak out of the Wii system menu through a trap door,
2. HackMii Installer, which will permanently install a Homebrew Channel right on the Wii's menu, so you can get to it anytime, and two other useful things
3. Homebrew Browser, which will download all kinds of neat homebrew software for you, like media players, games, and emulators.

From that point on, it's all magic.
