This isn’t Pandora news, but with your help it could be. The Humble Indie Bundle, if you haven’t already seen it on every gaming site in the universe, is a limited time promotion in support of Child’s Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Wolfire Games invites you to pay whatever you like for a bundle of legendary indie games containing World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru, Penumbra, and now Samorost 2. Versions are available for Linux, Mac and Windows, and it’s all DRM free.

These versions won’t run on your Pandora of course, which leads us to the latest development. It’s now being reported that if the total donation pool hits $1m, the source code for Gish, Penumbra and Lugaru will be released to the public – opening up the possibility of Pandora versions should someone take on the porting job. The total is currently at over $800k, but the promotion ends some time in the next 24hrs! So get on it, and badger your mates to get on it too. You’ll be supporting some very worthy causes and getting some sweet games to boot.

Thanks to “death wears a big hat” for signing up on GP32X to let us know.

News this isn’t, but gosh, it just had to be shared. Asmo, fellow Pandorian and frequent blog commenter, has produced a series of retro themed Pandora makeovers paying homage to the greatest home computers of the 80s (and their boisterous advertisements). If at least one of these images doesn’t melt your heart, you’re doing it wrong. Asmo’s work along with many other er, creations can be found in the aptly titled thread “I think I’ve went insane“. Case modders, are you taking notes?

[Update] More!

…to pandorapress.net, the new home of whatever it was that went on at the old one. We trust you enjoyed your flight. Pour a whiskey, make fists with your toes, and get chatting with the locals. You’ve arrived.

The roadmap is back. Unofficially, anyway. With the case mould a good fortnight into production, it looks like the dreaded Two Months meme may have finally breathed its last. But these things are easy to miss if you don’t drop by daily, so now there’s a one-click status page for those flying visits. We’ll do our best to keep it current, and well sourced. Eyes right, soldier. >_>

In one of craigixs craziest videos yet; after losing to gravity craig gives us a quick update on the situation of the next Pandora video and reassures us that he’s working hard at it.

(Pandora part starts at 4:54 if you’re in a hurry)

Craig uploaded a neat video showing off an unrelated Chinese PSP clone and an early cardboard mockup Pandora (starting at ~1:40)

EDIT: Oh yeah, and there’s also an assembled (real) Pandora in there too

After 2 long weeks GP32X.com is back with a bunch of fancy new features. It’s lightning fast at the moment, but might not stay that way as more people begin to come back.

Some of you may have heard of Google Latitude, the mobile (and now web) service that allows you to broadcast your location with friends, via phone signals. Well, now there is a way to use Latitude on the web, provided you have Firefox, WiFi and iGoogle. Google calculates your position through triangulation and your Wifi signal.

Guess where this is going? Guess what the Pandora has? That’s right, WiFi and Firefox!

So, effectively, you’ll be able to hook up to a Wifi hotspot in a city, log on to iGoogle on the Pandora, and share your location with friends, without suffering network costs! Pretty cool (and a terrifying invasion of privacy) eh?

If you still don’t understand, watch this video for an introduction…

If anyone want to try out the service on their laptops/desktops, here’s the howto:

P.S – It has pinned my location to 10 metres, which is both terrifying and awesomely-awesome.

After that we are getting a fair amount of traffic from alphainventions.com and Netvibes.com. alphainventions is likely to be bringing external traffic – so hi to any newcomers from there! Netvibes is, amongst others things a very good feed reader and an excellent way of storing all your bookmarks on the internet. You can have a nice set up that shows various columns and a magazine format. When used in Firefox in a separate tab you can see how man new feeds there are unread. Worth a try and is my favourite because of the great bookmarks feature.

We are also listed in the information index – which is nice to see that this blog has been recognised as a valuable resource. With over 1200 visits so far today, something must be right. Please feel free to put the links on other sites.
