My passive income for January was slightly lower than December, mostly because I had to pay for classes, my speeding ticket, and the bank cut my interest rate. Ah well, still not a bad start to the new year.
That rings up to a fairly respectable $96.06 for the month, I’m hoping to see an average of $100+ per month this year, we’ll see how that works.
If you have problems with Installer.app suddenly crashing when you’re trying to install new software, fear not! Here’s the quick and easy way around that. This solution should apply to any firmware version, however I’ve only tried it on 1.1.3.
It has to do with not having enough free space, so first you’ll need to uninstall a few applications, then download BossTool (under the Utilities category).
Next, open BossTool and click “Free Disk Space”.
Now hit the “Relocate Applications” button, you’ll see a pop up asking you to confirm, do so and let it do it’s thing.
After it’s completed head back over to Installer.app and try installing several new applications, it should work just fine now.
In order to jailbreak 1.1.3 you need a jailbroken iPod touch running 1.1.2, a wireless network, and some free time.
Files you may need for this process:
[ iPod touch 1.1.1 firmware ]
[ iPod touch 1.1.2 firmware ]
Hit the detailed instructions after the jump.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but apparently that doesn’t apply to Google, although it is slightly reassuring to know that their server clusters don’t actually incorporate human hearts. I digress. Over the course of a few days I’ve all but disappeared from the hollowed pages of Google Search, major bummer, I used to be the number two result (also numbers 3, 4, 7, 12, and 42) when searching for ‘Aaron Nelsen‘ but now I’m stuck at the bottom of the first page of results, plus Hijinks Inc. doesn’t show up until page two.
In other news, banks cut interest rates because of the cuts the Fed made, and the market continues to be as unpredictable as an inebriated schizophrenic. Both of which are major thorns in my side.
Along the same lines, I’ve made more money in the past six months by changing a portion of my cash holdings from the US dollar to the Euro than I have from the stock market. That’s depressing.
Oh and I’m in the process of upgrading my iPod touch to the 1.1.3 firmware and attempting to jailbreak it, if I’m successful I’ll post instructions on how to rock that scene.
As if I didn’t neglect this blog enough already, I probably won’t be posting much/at all for the next week or two. My Grandpa just passed away yesterday morning, so I’ll be spending time with my family and ignoring the existence of the internet for awhile.Your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.
