I miss the PSP jailbreaking scene. Back when I was in high school, I made quite the pocket change cutting PCB traces on people's PSP batteries. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that got me interested in electronics in the first place.

Writing homebrew for PSP was my first introduction to programming and my gateway to Python (through PyGame).

Haha, same. And that's how I got into programming, making homebrew games for my PSP - I taught myself C++, and I even participated in several competitions for homebrew, PSPSnake was one that got thousands of downloads, for a 15 year old that was crazy cool.

Haha first piece of code I wrote in C++, when I was in highschool, was for April fools joke - I made a homebrew app that should do something really could (I can't remember) and after few seconds of loading, it displayed a blue screen saying "skynet" has breached your PSP and you got pawned. After 3 seconds it showed "It's April 1 you fool". It was so stupid. It took me forever to make, but it was worth it. I gave my friends from the local PSP scene a heart attack, then a good laugh of relief.

Fun times.
