Friday doesn’t bring good news to Demoniod today. Trackers are still live however, so they are anticipating a demoniod return. Only one line displays on the demonoid site right now ..

The CRIA threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.

Yay for UK people getting the iPhone. iPhone update today too! For jailbreak users, don’t download because the TIFF exploit has been patched.

Since I updated my phone to firmware 1.1.1 missed my other applications. I knew I didn’t want to revert back to 1.0.2 and the whole process seemed a little painful to be honest. I found this one-click Jailbreak guide and it worked great on the first try. Just make sure you follow the step by step instructions and reboot your iPhone every time it asks. There is one time it asks you to reboot your iPhone twice in a row. DO IT!

One-click Jailbreak for 1.1.1 (Windows)

Oh ya. Enjoy and have fun!!!!

This is what my iPhone looks like now.

I was talking to my friend Travis earlier this morning about storage solutions. When I think of storage solutions, what I’m really thinking about is data storage or data recovery. I have a lot of media of all shapes and sizes that I really really want to keep. You can call me an electronic pack rat of sorts. I’m sure that if I download something, I’m going to want to use it later. When I think of the company I work for, the whole spectrum gets even broader in terms of Safe Data Recovery. Where do you go? Who do you talk to?

I found this web site called Data Recovery Compare, and they make it simple. I’m all about tasks like this being simple. Sometimes I find myself researching out a special service and I end up finding nothing at the end of my quest. What happens when you pick a site or service and find out you’ve been scammed? That happened to me once, and it’s not going to happen again. You don’t want to be putting data in the wrong hands, and this site weeds out scammers for you. That’s hours upon hours and many emails and/or phone calls saved to where you can spend and devote yourself to something more important, like taking a walk outside in this beautiful fall weather. Anyway, check em out. They exist to make our lives easier!

Well, I updated my phone today (partly on accident since I wasn’t paying much attention) to 1.1.1 .. and … when it came back up, it said “Please Activate iPhone”

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Then it restarted again and told me it was activated. I was seriously scared for a moment. So my phone came back all nice and pretty and my third party applications were wiped out and the new wi-fi iTunes was sitting all pretty and purple on the 4th row.

The question is, so I jailbreak it again? Do I wait for Apple’s SDK? What 3rd party applications did I use a lot. Well ..

1. iLight - I live in the woods, it’s very very dark in my house at night. Before bed when I’m turning off all the nights I use my iPhone as a flashlight
2. NES - The new Nintendo Entertainment System emulator is really nice. They have sound working on it so I can pull out Mario Brothers or Zelda anytime I please. Or, I used to, before today.
3. Sudoku - Ya, it’s just a fun game.

What is your favorite 3rd party iPhone app?

It’s offical. The Apple Store has been down for a few hours, but when it came back up the new product was pre-orders to Mac OS X Leopard.

I just noticed they changed the front page of the site with a count down. Get your pre-orders now!

So, uh, who’s going to buy me a Macbook Pro?

I have successfully upgraded my blog to Wordpress 2.3 with success! For some reason I’ve always had the unfortunate luck of having things go “wrong” when upgrading word press, mostly because of my dumb mistakes, however this time it was easy and painless. I have to hand it to Wordpress for making it easy and painless.

I’m all about wiki’s these days, and I have a few idea’s for some new wiki pages I’m going to make, but this one I found today was of great interest to me. It’s a wiki about twitter applications. Twitter is a real time update site of what your doing so to speak. You can include short urls and such, and it’s like real time news of your friends. I tend to follow it for a while, then I forget about it and jump off the band wagon. After finding this site, and this particular application, it will be easier for me to stay on the band wagon.

Anyway, go here. I especially l iked TwitBOX.

Today is the 256th day of the year. So …

The more I’m tootin’ around the interwebs and such, the more excited I am about my degree. I see so many job opportunities out there that not only require a BS but they focus on Software Engineering as a specialty, which is what my area of concentration will be when I’m done. It makes me excited because those job opportunities have always been out of reach for me. Not because I didn’t have the knowledge in some area’s (especially web development) but because I didn’t have that special piece of paper.

Hard to believe I’m finally doing what I want in life … instead of just wishing I could.

When I sat down last night to re-install xp, I realized that I had run out of time. I had to be to work by 7, and it was already 9pm, which meant I needed to be in bed by 10 at least, or around that time, which isn’t enough time to back up and reinstall XP. So, I didn’t. I tried one of the fixes I read about yesterday in the forums, and ironically, it worked. I put my computer into sleep mode, then took it out of sleep mode, and walla. Internet. Ugh, that’s so dumb. I also read that this has been a problem since Vista was in beta. Um, why hasn’t that been fixed yet? So, until I have a bit more time under my belt, Vista is staying, but only due to time constraints.

I have some possible raids this weekend too. Only if I get my school work done. I have a project due tonight, that I have to convert to XHTML compliant, and and and, I just have a lot to do. And I’m sidetracked, and disorganized with the move, and that makes my already lacking attention span worse. A lot worse.

I do have the weekend off …

Finally, I’m back. My site got hacked, AGAIN. I think there is a problem with someone’s site on the shared server I was on, because it was happening way too often. On a shared server if someone else’s site on that server is compromised, then that would make my site compromised. Anyway, everything is back to normal, and I’ve been moved off that server onto a more secure server. So here is to crossing fingers that everything is working as it should. Not only did they move my site, but they also removed all the changes the hacker made. I sort of wish I would have saved the song on his hacked page. It was pretty good.

After 10 years of checking on jennyberry.com it finally came up for sale. I snagged it for a mere $10 bucks or so, and used Chris Pirillo’s coupon code (thanks Chris!) which took $1.50 off the total price. Now I have lots of projects to do. Of course, I’ll never have enough time to get them done it seems.

I had my first home BBQ with friends last night. I’ve been wanting and waiting to have one of those forever. Finally, I’m able to. It was great fun … it was relaxing, it was nice. I noticed as a friend of mine was going to his car in the driveway, we need more lights on the garage side. Nothing like walking alone, in the woods, with it pitch black out. That’s a great set up for a horror story.

Back to work, just glad to be back

Well, I’m rather upset. I found out that the iPhone won’t do everything I wanted it to do. I found at Crunch Gear.

• Make your bed.
• Increase penile length and girth.
• Remind you of your first kiss.
• Get you laid after June 31st.
• Accept an offer to spend a weekend with you on the Jersey Shore after just meeting you at Hogs and Heifers.
• Visit you in prison.
• Expand your horizons through a complex, ancient ritual involving the iPhone, peyote, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and a picture of your dead Grammie.
• Replace your God.

Well, now I might be having second thoughts ….. NOT!!

Really, I just can’t handle it anymore. This is going to last another 2 days, and the only way of preventing myself from suffering through this would be to unplug myself from the internets. Ya, that’s not going to happen.

Don’t get me wrong, I will be one of those very early risers that show up at the Cingular AT&T store first thing in the morning to wait in line for this glorious device. I’m not getting the 8 GB however. This time, I’m going to settle for the smaller one, and that’s fine with me. Not saying things might change by the time I get there however. For us gadget geek’s, this is torture.

I handed in my very last paper to my class today. Yay, it’s over and done with! I didn’t like that class anyway. Too much .. common sense and not enough interest. My next class is Algebra. Yay. Math. We’ll see how that goes. I’m usually good at math, and I pick up on it very easy especially since it’s been 10 years since I’ve had an Algebra class. I hope it’s like riding a bike.

As for our Travel adventures, Brendan and I made it to Georgia but not without some suffering. Our first flight was canceled, so we had to take a late flight which put us into Atlanta around 10:30pm. I think we waited on our bags for something like 45 minutes to an hour before the panic really set it that they lost our luggage. Come to find out, our bags went out on another flight and were sitting in an over flow baggage area. When we got to Budget car rental, they ran out of cars. We were upgraded for free to a mini-van complete with DVD and screen. It’s actually very nice, even if I’m having wicked flashbacks of my Mother carting me and my volleyball/softball/swimming/diving team around everywhere.

As for work, my boss is still here in Georgia. He was supposed to be back in Florida this week, but he decided to stay. The chaos continues and the tornado surrounding the lack of organization still whirlwinds around him. I’m not sure why I thought that would change. It’s stressful however. I’m pretty full on stress at the moment.

The house! Brendan is in love with it. Closing is this Thursday at 3pm. I’m so excited I could burst. I wish we had all our things moved in and we were unloading boxes. I’m so sick of moving, I’m so glad this is our last time in a long long long time. I wouldn’t mind it being our last time forever. We still need to go out and get a washer/dryer/fridge and have those things delivered Friday. I want to get the cable and TV hooked up Friday too so everything is ready when we arrive with the moving van next week. I can’t wait for Jonah to see his back yard, and Neves is going to have a million places to hide.

Just a few more days … just a few more.
