PSP HTTPD is a new web server for the PSP. Its in the early stages at the moment but lets you access the memory stick and two internal flash devices on the PSP via your web browser. Please note that there are many security holes in this release so do not make your PSP IP address public! This release will also only work on Infrastructure mode (no DHCP). Link.
Will we soon take all of our pictures with a camera phone? Probably not. The image quality is still pretty low, which means that we tend to use camera phones for casual, candid, lifestyle scenes. We save the stuff we want to keep forever for our “real” camera. Even so, there are things you can do to improve the quality of your camera-phone photos. Link.
Well, we’re about to see a lot UMD pirating. It’s now possible to copy a UMD and run it off a Memory Stick– copy the Lumines iSO to your Memory Stick’s root directly using iSOBuster or a similar application. When doing this, you should end up with a PSP_GAME directory there with all the game files in it, and also a UMD_DATA.BIN file in the MS root. Then simply install the Lumines Launcher by copying the files to your PSPGAME directory manually or via the previously-released KXpolit v1.50. Link.
A new Make Extra is up today: Mikey Sklar’s raving-mad recipe for building a blinking, glowing wearable with electroluminescent (EL) wire, a PIC microcontroller, and (optionally) a homemade PCB– all using exclusively open-source tools. The plans include full blinky control code that’s ready to compile and burn, or (of course) modify. Link.
New Roomba Scheduler! and you upgrade your current Roomba! The iRobot Scheduler is a complete scheduling system that can be used with any of our current Roomba products shown below.

Ron Ondrejka gave an amazing presentation at Where 2.0. Ron was Project Photogrammetrist for the imaging and mapping systems on CORONA, LANYARD, and KH-9 “Big Bird” (MAPPER). 1960-1983. His presentation had early imaging satellites with emphasis on their contributions to mapping and targeting. They didn’t use computers for spacecraft or payload design of CORONA, for navigation and commands, or for the early years of producing maps. Link.
Looks like iTunes can slurp in PDF attachments. While I’m not a big fan of PDF, everyone can usually read them and we often post chapters and MAKE articles in PDF. So, going forward I’ll try it out and see what happens. Don’t forget to add the MAKE feed to iTunes 4.9 (Click here and click SUBSCRIBE) Link.
