Standing On Boxes

FoodTV show tonight… a contest between ‘chuck wagon’ cooks. A status thing apparently. Not a lot of money in it – compared to some of those barbecue cooking contests.

The contestants get a “mystery box” full of ingredients (the basics like flour, potatoes plus some semi-random meat -and who knows what else.).

All the food is cooked over wood fires. And they also get judged on their campsite authenticity.

Bought a new game (yes, finally – SONY doesn’t make much money from me from their video game systems (but much more than Microsoft…) – The only reason I bought a PS2 was to play Tomb Raider. The PSP was a pseudo-impulse/cool gadget buy – I think SIMH would be a cool hack as soon as there is real keyboard support.)).

Decided to back up my saved games — so I bough a larger memory stick ( 128MB – not really large, but good enough for the few games I have).

Thought I would use the built-in copy method. Spent 45 minutes doing it…

What’s a stick swap? That is where you put in the source memory stick, the PSP copies to it, you take that out and put in the destination memory stick and the PSP copies to it. So… 2 ‘insert stick’ actions per “swap”

Save game size? I don’t know if these are the same no matter what level… but I’m assuming so…

I’m not going to do it that way ever again…

Oh… the game? Death Jr.. (No opinion yet – I just got it) – Single player only… and they have a review on their web site dated next week… I think someone jumped the gun or they forgot that not everyone sets their calendar a week ahead like all of the entertainment magazines.
