With the release of the SDE (Special Developer Edition) firmware for the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, the door is open for the possibility to boot alternative operating systems.
This should allow, with varying degrees of modification, any OS that supports the TI OMAP3 platform to boot on the device. As an example, Archos includes Ångström, an embedded Linux distribution built on top of the OpenEmbedded framework.
Already, there is an effort to get a AOSP (Android Open Source Project) build booting on the device, see the development diary or keep up to date with that and more on the ArchosFans forum.

I like gadgets… A lot.
It took it’s time getting to me but it turned up this week, this tablet will probably replace my Rockboxed 60GB Iriver H340 for day to day music. The A5A, as I will refer to it, is also very sharp on video, so it’s a definite improvement for most things and with 500GB of storage, I can store my whole music collection (and then some) on it!
The only issue I have with it is: NO REMOTE? This makes it a bit of an annoyance to get it out of my pocket, pull the case off some of the way so I can get to the volume rocker.
Will post funky pics soon!

Lots of changes since my last post about my setup…
I bought a Fender MIM Jazz Bass, an Ashdown ABM210 cab and a 4-way footswitch for my amplifier (which almost didn’t fit in my pedal box!)

Before christmas, an esteemed colleague at work offered me a rack-mount flight case, which I gladly accepted and got thinking about exactly what to use it for. I decided to use it for creating a sound rack for my bass amplifier which would also allow me to store and transport all of my cables and effects pedals.
Currently, my bass amplifier is an Ashdown ABM500 EvoIII, which is in a hard wearing wooden case. My idea was to mount the amplifier into the flight case rack, so I don’t have to carry as many boxes (even though the boxes I will be carrying will be both bigger and heavier!).

Yes, it was ‘A’ at the Wedgewood Rooms. It was a brilliant gig, the guys really looked like they were having fun. The first support band, Stereo Decade were pretty good but sounded a little short of bass, but they only have a keyboard for the low end. This City were a bit of a letdown, they weren’t bad, but all their songs sounded very similar to me…

Hundred Reasons at the Wedgewood Rooms, supported by Canterbury and Scholars.
This is the first time in a while where I’ve gone to a gig and been genuinely impressed with both the support bands. Scholars were on first, I recommend you check out their single Hydrochaesin from the Hundred Reasons: Singles Club #4. There is also a single for Hundred Reasons (Break The Glass) and Canterbury (Set You Right). Both support bands were awesome keyboard tinged pop-punk with some amazing vocals.
