Ubuntu Edgy-Eft Released Yesterday

I have been running the Edgy-Eft beta for quite some time now, so I completely missed that yesterday was the official release date for it. Not bad at all, predictions from a long time ago stated that Edgy would come out on Oct 25th, only one day off.
Ubuntu 6.10

Pre-Ordered Nintendo Wii

GameStop had an offer today for pre-ordering the Nintendo Wii. I now have one on pre-order. :)

The Nintendo Wii console will come with the following items packed in:

  • hardware system
  • 1 Wii remote
  • 1 nunchuck
  • cables, sensor bar, console stand
  • copy of Wii Sports, including Tennis, Baseball, Golf, Bowling, and Boxing

I also have The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on pre-order.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Red Steel is another intense looking game that has caught my eye.

I’m really hoping that Nintendo will remake the Power Glove for the Wii, the Wii controllers all look awesome, but a Power Glove would be the ultimate.

Wii Release Date

November 19th…just a wii bit longer.

Google Code Search

Google Code Search

Google Code Search was launched today, making Google Hacking easier than ever! A lot of attention is being drawn to this since you can find .sql and .php files containing passwords and juicy information that are in archives. Need the serial number algorith for a program? Google’s found them for you!

If you are new to Google Hacking then I recommend reading Maniac’s Google Hacking Basics .pdf which can be found on Chicago2600’s Presentations page.

Happy Hacking!
