It's November, it means it's time to grow a beard or mustache! It's the point of Movember, to grow beards or mustaches for prostate cancer.

So, um, growing beards is fun, will you grow one? /me already has one, hence my nickname of Leonidas Facebeard.

Also go join my team on the Movember site.

EDIT: My avatar has a mustache.

As I write these lines, I now have +333 respect. 333 is the number of the Holy Trinity, that is, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. (Not half-evil, as some would think.)

Bow before me, peasants.

So to extract the OS from the installer provided on Casio's website, you'll need prizmosdecomp, but it only works with OS 1.02 and lower. Today, I found the way for OS 1.03 and later.

So you'll need the .exe on Casio's website, it's a simple InstallShield wizard. From here, the manipulations are similar to OS 1.02, run the executable until you have the connect your calc screen and you'll find files in C:\Documents and Settings\<your login>\Application Data\CASIO\fx-CG10 OS Update\{EF1BD945-AF60-43FD-A487-0D430D3D7911}. But this time, you'll find fx-CG Series OS Update.msi and 1036.MST. The .msi one is the file responsible for the connect your calc screen, so it must contain the OS.

You'll want to extract it with a MSI extractor instead of running it, in my case I used Universal Extractor. Run it on the .msi you got and you should get those files. (In my case, I ran it in a Windows XP VM, then shared a folder with the Mac OS X host, hence the UNIX commands.)

Okay, now we're wondering which one the OS is, or if it's even in a DLL, the filenames aren't helping. Let's find out.

Most of them are DLLs and icon ressources oh wait what is ISSetupFile.SetupFile3 I'm pretty sure I saw this filetype somewhere else.

[julien@haruhi demo]$ file demo.g3a
demo.g3a: Dyalog APL version 189 .175
ISSetupFile.SetupFile3 is detected as having the same file format as a g3a add-in, so it must be our OS.

There we go, we have our OS binary, so have fun ^_^

I found you can do that either with Insight or by doing this and this setting even survives reboots (well at least the menu setting, not a lot of stuff changes this, for the border it disappears more quickly because lots of stuff changes this setting).

I found it pretty cool to change the menu colors (personalization lol). (And yes DJ_O this is what I showed you last time.) Also Insight can draw in the border, I wonder what are the syscalls to do both the color changes and the drawing thing.

2 things. First, if someone mentions your name in a PM so someone else, you can recieve this line too. Secondly, say I have a /query with Deep Thought open and Sorunome have one with him too, I can spy Sorunome and Deep Thought's messages to each other.

It's a potential security breach, so if you want to send PMs that aren't quick or a minimum secret, you might want to use forum messaging or IRC.

Petit Computer is a program for the Nintendo DSi and 3DS available on the DSiware that lets you use a programming language on the console, SmileBasic, a variant of the Microsoft BASIC found on computers of the 70s and 80s such as the Commodore 64.

It's 800 points on the DSi, there's lots of features such as support of sprites, music, etc. and the samples provided are pretty great, so you can effectively make your own DSi homebrew.
