Back in 2010, I created a Perl library to talk to +the Spykee robot +(with two belts, wifi, USB and Linux) and made it available from my +web page. Today I concluded that it should move to a site that is +easier to use to cooperate with others, and moved it to github. If +you got a Spykee robot, you might want to check out +the +libspykee-perl github repository.
+Earlier, I reported about -my -problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk. Friday I was -told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away. And as -there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided -today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware -currently on the disk.
- -I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found -issdfut_2.0.4.iso -(aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which -according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD -disks. I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and -booted the ISO from a USB stick. The disk was recognized, but the -program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused -to insert any Intel firmware. So no change, and the disk is still -unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them -working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware. No idea how likely -that is. Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness. I -got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on -the broken disks.
