Oh my lovely Kasumi Blue, we have long since parted ways but fond memories still remain. In this video we have another peek inside it and prepare the motherboard for TSOP flashing. This one had a v1.0 motherboard inside that much later limited-edition shell. Whether it left Microsoft that way or somebody swapped the board before I got it, I don’t know! The v1.0 board has a flashable onboard TSOP, unlike the later v1.6 hardware. I also swapped in a power supply compatible with this board and Australian mains. I still despise step-up/down transformers.

In other news, not much else is happening. I’m still mulling over whether to bother with university again or whether I just fold and give in. I figure I might as well try transferring away from my old uni to a new local one at least. If they reject the application and my five first preferences fail, it’s game over I think.

That said, if I do manage to transfer down here with a bit of luck I’ll have some recognition of prior learning (RPL). This should make me have to do less of the same courses again. Naturally though, you don’t get to know how much credit you’ll get between courses until after you’ve accepted the offer at a particular institution. Oh well, time will tell!
