One issue is that it can be hard for someone to say no. In my case it's hard to say no, because I always fear bad consequences or something. Knowing how bosses work, I know when to start saying no, though, and about laws, so if I get asked something I say yes but if I see they start abusing then I tell them indirectly and politely to use some common sense or do some face that makes it look like I am not too happy and they are starting to know me and a few others about when we start to feel there is abuse and they usually stop. It may help that I worked there for a while, though. Now if only all places were like that

EDIT: Back on topic: I wonder if this will be featured on ticalc?

That said, I wonder if the exploit is stable yet. Maybe ticalc is waiting until it is more stable to pick it up.

I personally did not post a news at first for similar reasons, but then Slashdot picked it and it started to spread.

Thanks for the kind words, everybody.

Crossing communities for a little bit was an amazing experience. Over the course of this thing, I gained 2,000 Twitter followers, 130,000 views on the YouTube video (and still climbing), and a lot of support from a lot of people. There's always the few haters that don't really understand what's going on, but that's to be expected with anything I suppose. I definitely have a lot of respect for the people who have to deal with these huge and impatient communities on a daily basis. Putting up with it for a week was a challenge to say the least.

The port itself was pretty crazy, too. It took a week non-stop (ever since the open source implementation of the exploit was released) of very little sleep and an expensive USB hardware analyzer I had FedEx overnighted here (by the way, that analyzer's going to help out with usb8x updates and more and more USB drivers -- we're talking wifi, webcams, you name it -- stuff I could never figure out before and simply had to give up on can now be resurrected).

Anyway, just wanted to congratulate you on being the first calculator site to pick this up (I think...at least ticalc.org wasn't first) and for the kind words.

And Netham45 for giving me the idea.

Yeah I saw on Youtube, it was shocking, considering it's a calculator video. The only other calc vid that ever got 100000 views was Digitan000's calc tribute vid and it took over a year or two to get there.

It's really an amazing thing you did here (once again) and I wish everyone would understand the work put in those things. I understand about the haters and impatient people. When TI-Boy SE got postponed, lots of people came here begging non-stop for updates and one seemed to be annoyed at us because of it (well, it was not as bad but I saw similar things happen in other non-calc communities before and it's insane ).

Good luck in your future projects!

Also what do you mean by flood of spammers Qazz42?

alberthro frickin' said the forum names on #ps3dev. :\
I told him not to. >:|

I am getting mad that alot of people are downloading the video then uploading it on youtube and taking all the credit

Yeah I noticed it is mirrored like crazy. Sadly it seems like a common thing on Youtube nowadays, though. Even some of my vids got mirrored . It sucks. At least if they said BrandonW in the credits it would be tolerable.

Also ticalc.org posted a news article about the jailbreak now

As for the Cemetech spam, I noticed some weird users joined one day and one arrived in #omnimaga once but it seemed less bad. It seems like that PS3 chan is filled with immature kids or trolls . From what I read in #ti logs, I think BrandonW even got tired of some people there and left #ps3dev for a bit . Also it's insane how many times some questions are answered on his vid
