1.1.3 nightmare

The other day I made the terrible terrible mistake of trying to upgrade my iPod touch to a cracked version of 1.1.3, up from my jailbroken 1.1.1. I was unable to get it cracked using Zibri's app (kept getting the same thing a lot of people are getting, hangs at "BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0"), so I decided to try a vanilla version of 1.1.3 out, just for kicks. After restoring my iPod I got this screen:

 iPod touch screen 1

 Okay… so how do I manage my music and sync settings and stuff? There are no tabs appearing to do that, and clearly the iPod is highlighted right now… I'll click off the ipod to something else, then click it again and see what happens…

Bigger IS better!

bigger IS better!So yeah, turns out that size does actually matter. What you see pictured is my new 24" iMac sitting next to my old 17" iMac, making it look small and silly. If you look very closely you may see a bit of drool on the keyboard. It's a friggin' huge monstrosity and I love it! I don't even need two monitors anymore, and I'm back to using Spaces again. Also, this thing is so bright it's like sitting in front of a car with its high beams on. I have to keep the brightness set to 1 notch out of 16 to preserve my eyesight. 

It's like surfin' the interweb in an IMAX theatre. Without all the screaming kids.

The touch is my master now…

I haven't posted in a while. I can give you two solid reasons. One is that I got a new iPod touch, that's lots of fun to play with, and the other is that Mario Galaxy came out, and I am a total dork. But damn if it isn't a good time.

Coolest thing about the iPod? Emailing from it. Oh, and the Google Maps app. Yeah, that's right, I hacked it.
