update

Many things have happend. These are just a few of them.

Jailbroke my Iphone. Crucial. Added a few pay apps including safari download manager and the 3g unrestrictor. Reality is that the AT&T 3g network is too slow to support video streaming. Even with the unrestrictor it is virtually impossible to maintain a stream. Tried to watch Adam Savage on Digg Nation among other things. The time needed to cache the video and how often briefly it would play means if you want to watch video it would be less frustrating if you saved it to the phone and played it from the harddrive.

Still havent figure out the fill structure or how to put files on the phone ftp. I think it goes to var/mobile/libray/downloads but I haven't tried to place anything there. I will soon. I've installed netatalk as well as openssh so it's just a matter of time. It would be great If I knew some one with a jailbroke phone how was at all tech mined, but everyone I know who has one had someone else jailbreak their phone and set it up for them.

Also on the tech front. Another dead hard drive. This is the second drive that has died in my mac book. I now have a new external harddrive with a time machine backup so I won't be so bad off if things go badly in the future. I also have two attractive Hitachi paperweights.

On the same theme of my slowly dying laptop. I now have a external disk-burner. Apparently it's very bad to smoke infront of your computer. I did for many years and now the internal disk-burner doesn't work. The new drive reads all the discs that the internal used to spit out. It's a lightscribe which could be cool.

In other news. My local Chinese restaurant changed owners so I am very sad. I ate there almost every day. I went on vacation and they had changed hand. Absolutely no warning. Total culinary devisation. It's not like Hempstead had a lot of great food options. Not it has less.


Can't think of anything else except the new Big Star box set is wonderful. Lots of demos and alternate mixes. Not sure what more Big Star fan could want except for live Chris Bell recordings with or with out the band. Hopefully the next post will be in less than two months.
