Largo's Work Journal. June 15, 2006; 10:03 PM.

"Piro just came home, and it was just about time, because I've been studying those English language books and I already know how they work. They teach you the language using common, everyday situations so that the student feels comfortable with the method. Just like a German Langenscheidt method I once saw. This one seems to be the trend, and in a certain way, it has its bases, because it teaches you how to survive once you're abroad. These books cover very general situations, things like going to the street market, cooking, going to school, touring the city, and so on. Fortunately, I already know Piro's life, and it's good, because Piro is especially attached to Ping. All I have to do is to depict Piro attending MegaGamers, Piro trying to get laid with Kimiko, Piro playing Dead or Alive with me, Piro getting r0x0r') on Quake, me having a conversation with Boo, me teaching Junpei the path of 1337322, and me using the Necrowombicon to exterminate the Undead Queen and her Empire of Ph34r.

Once Ping's SDK comes home, I'll just have to find out how to tinker around with Ping's modules, and that will be it. I shall become famous, and my discoveries will give me so much money, that I will finally be able to assemble my army and kick the shit out of the Undead Queen!

In the meantime, I guess I gotta get some sleep. They just called in from FedEx, and they say my package will arrive really early in the morning, at 7:00 AM".

On June 16, at 6:50 AM, Largo's computer beeped with a loud sound. Piro was already inside, and Largo, once he woke up, jumped out of his bed like a compressed spring. Piro, on the other hand, was so deeply asleep after 2 continuous nights of alcohol with Kimiko and Erika, that he didn't even listened to the alarm clock. Largo, in the meantime, took a shower and a quick breakfast, and once he finished eating, he heard a knocking sound on the door."That must be the SDK!", Largo thought. - Hello? - said Largo.
- Good morning, Mr. Caston. I'm from Federal Express, and I have an express delivery for you - said the delivery man.
- Great! I've been waiting for it.
- Here it is, inside this box. You may open it right now, to check if something happened to it.
Largo opened the box. There they were: the instruction handbook, Ping's connection cables, and the software CD. All of them seemed to be in mint condition.
- Yeah, seems like it's just fine.
- Good. Now, I need your signature here, to confirm us that you received the package in good conditions. Here, take this pen - said the mailman. Largo then flicked the pen on the clipboard. - Thank you, sir, and I hope you're satisfied with our service.
- No, thank you - said Largo.

"There it is! I finally got the SDK! Now, it's time to get down and dirty. It's time to start the development phase. Ping will soon learn the world's l337 tongue, and this way, the language barrier between the both of us will be finally torn down like the Berlin wall! Now I gotta start studying the SDK, and see how things are going

Today's tasks:
- Study thoroughly the SDK documentation.
- Write a couple of test modules.
- Start the development cycle of the English module".

 "Woooohoooo! I can't believe it! The folks at Sony did thought about portability and ease of use of the SDK! The whole thing is based on Java, and I already have considerable Java skills, most of which I learned while building my computer system (I needed a skillfully crafted, custom built firewall). The SDK is quite easy to understand, and it's really complete: it comes with every package I need, and it even comes with a software emulator that displays a software version of Ping in my desktop, so I don't have to tamper with her configuration. Now it's time to start the development. Today is the beginning of the longest and most important stage. If I have to lock myself inside this place, then so be it.

Today's tasks:
- Study thoroughly the SDK documentation: done.
- Write a couple of test modules: done.
- Start the development cycle of the English module: in progress".
