  • 3G iPhone coming June 9th

    Everyone on the net is claiming to have an insider who has tipped them off as to the launch date of the 3G iPhone, whether or not any of those claims are legit there is a very good chance the 3G iPhone will be released on June 9th.

    That leads me to the obvious question… Will you be buying one?

  • iSlsk Patch Updated

    I’ve received a few emails from people who can’t get the Firewire GUID patch for iSlsk to work. So I’ve rewritten the patch and posted an update to Installer.

    In order to fully test it, I restored my iPhone to stock 1.1.4 firmware, jailbroke it and installed both iSlsk and the Firewire GUID patch and it seems to be working. If anyone is still having problems, please contact me and we’ll get things sorted out.

    p.s. Remember to refresh your sources to get the update!

  • Terminal Tips: Part 6

    Continuing the series of posts I started last week, here are a few more Terminal tips.

    [16] uptime
    Shows the current time, how long your computer has been running, as well as the average load.

    [17] top
    Much like Activity Monitor, the top command displays a list of all running processes on your system.

    [18] emacs
    Allows you to run the old unix program emacs.

  • Hijinks Reloaded

    I’ve just finished updating the site to WordPress 2.5.1, and I’ve also changed the site layout.

    So please report any bugs.

  • Schrödinger’s cat

    So apparently TV writers share their random trivia between networks, because last night on both The Big Bang Theory on CBS, and Bones on Fox, they mentioned Schrödinger’s cat.

    For those of you who don’t know the back story behind the theory, here’s a quick rundown from Wikipedia:

    A cat, along with a flask containing a poison, is placed in a sealed box shielded against environmentally induced quantum decoherence. The flask is shattered, releasing the poison, if a Geiger counter detects radiation. Quantum mechanics seems to suggest that after a while the cat is simultaneously alive and dead, in a quantum superposition of coexisting alive and dead states. Yet when we look in the box we expect to see the cat either alive or dead, not in a mixture of alive and dead.

    Anyhow, I know that’s incredibly random, but I felt the need to share.
