OSFlash is growing faster than I had thought! The site temporarily displayed a "bandwidth exceeded" message this morning for about 20 minutes or so before I was alerted to the fact and doubled its allocated bandwidth. Apologies if anyone tried unsuccesfully to reach the site during this time.

Minor OSFlash downtime this morning

Microsoft proves it's possible to be a multi-billion dollar company and a cybersquatter at the same time! Where do you think whitepsp.com leads to?

Never put it beyond Microsoft to cybersquat

Well, there's a first time for everything: I just got defrauded on eBay.co.uk and let me tell you, it's not a good feeling.

After resisting the urge to buy a PSP while in Singapore, I finally caved in upon my return to the UK and ordered one from a Buy It Now auction on eBay. Now, before you jump to any conclusions: No, I didn't click on one of the "free PSP" offers, or the £0.01 PSPs or even the £25 PSPs. Nope, this was a new £214 PSP, Japanese version (1.5 firmware), being shipped from the UK with one free game. Given that a local store here in Brighton stocks PSPs at £180 and games at £30, I thought it was a fair price. So, I didn't jump for a low price or anything. Just wanted a 1.5 so I could play with all the homebrew stuff.
