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!
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.
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.
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.
For those of you who keep getting the error shown below when using iSlsk, try installing the Firewire GUID Fix for iSlsk patch that I’ve just added to the Hijinks Inc. Repo.
Your Firewire GUID couldn’t be recognized and therefore music importing will not be available.
It has the same effect as the manual fix for the problem, it’s just a whole lot easier.
To add the Hijinks Inc. Repo to Installer, go to your Sources list, hit Edit, tap Add and enter http://i.hijinksinc.com (make sure the i is lowercase).
