So I got home, logged onto twitter and found out the iPad2 and 4S jailbreak untethered had been released.

Real simple to do, download Absinthe from http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/absinthe-mac-0.1.2-1.zip

• Launch on your Mac
• Disable Passcode Lock
• Hit Jailbreak
• Wait a few moments
• Launch the Absinthe logo on the iPhone
• Your phone will look as though its restoring
• When back up there is Cydia

Enjoy your jailbroken A5 devices!

Update: If your phone doesn’t look as though it is doing anything when the Absinthe logo is launched on your device. Simply do a reboot

Update2: It looks as though greenpois0n.com is having problems at the moment, you may be getting “Error Establishing Database Connection” when you try and launch the Absinthe application on your iPhone 4S or iPad2.

When I started playing the video it sounded a little strange, I covered up the right speaker and you could tell something was in the way of the speaker. I then continued to cover up the left speaker and there was no change.

It appears the left hand speaker in my iPhone is not working, I have tried all the usual restoring firmware etc but still had no effect. I made my appointment at the Apple store tomorrow to see if they will swap it out. If they don’t have any in stock I may return the phone and stick with my iPhone 4, but that is another blog post as to why I may just do that.

I will update this post tomorrow when I get back from the Apple store.

So I decided to cancel my appointment at the Apple store. Reason being from a reply on the comments made me look for something so simple. However looking at the iPhone 4 specs this seems to be the same. I will check on my iPhone 4 to see if the issue is the same and if it is, I won’t do anything and just put it down to a stupid moment I was having. If it doesn’t it is def going back to Apple to check.

However since coming back to iOS today, the shared calendars didn’t seem to be syncing, I could only see my own.

After quick investigation it turned out that I only had to do the following:

Setup my Gmail account as Exchange mode on the phone.

Navigate to https://m.google.com/sync and choose all the calendars that I wanted to sync with my iOS device.

(In my case I had quite a lot of iPhone listings due to the amount I have had. Simply choose the one that is the latest sync… most probably today’s date)

How they are syncing fine. I can see all my shared Google Calendars on my Calendar.app.

Then a quick search on the internet and found out that you no longer need to do it on a PC/MAC. If you simply browse to http://jailbreakme.com it does it all for you on your iDevice!

After numerous attempts to do it this morning I finally gave up and decided to try the http://modmyi.com mirror which seems much quicker and can be found http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com

I now have my iPhone 3GS jailbroken and cydia is once again on my home screen. This is fantastic new and have been waiting for this for some time now.

Easy peasy for you to do.

Browse to http://jailbreakme.com or http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com

slide the slider bar

wait a few minutes

bingo your done! enjoy your new jailbroken device.

The jailbreak works for the following:

If you are fed up of waiting and waiting to get new items for your fish tank then follow these few little instructions.

MAKE SURE EVERYTIME YOU EXECUTE THE BELOW YOU FEED YOUR FISH

Ok then here we go.

Launch iquarium and feed your fish
Close iquarium
Change your clock on the iPhone / iPad to 23:59
Launch iquarium again
Now feed your fish!!!
You will notice that you gain 149 points
Feed your fish!!!!

You can carry this out as many times as you wish, but always make sure you feed your fish, otherwise it will die and you will lose all your points and have to start again.

Oh and one last thing, don’t forget to change your clock back to the normal time, otherwise you many be late getting up for work/school ha ha

Enjoy!

I shall also be buying “eclipse” when it is released on blu ray.

I keep finding myself looking for more, sharing things I do, saying what I want to say and basically expanding the bubble I find myself in most nights. You would think that someone who works on computers all day long would be sick and tired of them by the time he got home, but not with me, I always find new things that I want to do, talk about, find out and basically just waste hours and hours online looking for the next ”big thing“. I know deep down that the next big thing won’t be anything to do with me, but still, I always have to keep trying.

Previous Sites:
        ❑        Facebook
        ❑        Twitter
        ❑        Wordpress
        ❑        MySpace
        
The above are just some of the sites that I have been on in the past and only three of them are still used, but I still leave my MySpace account active, why? I have no idea to be honest, maybe one day it may start back up? MySpace has already changed lots since I last logged in back in 2008 and I am curious to find out how its changed and if its something that I would be interested in using again, but for the time being I will pass and just continue using the sites that I am highly active on such as Facebook, Twitter and my WordPress blogs.

There has been some more sites that I have just joined and I put this down to my iPhone, the phone is no longer and phone and is taking over my life, the ability of updating twitter, Facebook and even blogging from your phone in my eyes is a fantastic idea but can get highly addictive. (I for one am addicted) I go through phases with twitter and Facebook and find myself either using one or the other, at this moment in time I feel the need to update twitter more than anything else. If you follow me @rhodzy you will be able to see that for yourselves and just see how much I do tweet.

At the moment I have protected my tweets as I am getting a little wary about all the spammers that are following me and wondering to myself what information they are gathering about me, maybe a slack tweet from me could result in identity theft and I wouldn’t have a clue! Maybe even a drunken tweet that you forget you send, who knows it could be anything. Recently I have also been having a clear up on Facebook removing friends who I know longer speak to or people I have added / added me who we ”once knew each other, added each other, but never chatted“ I don’t see the point in that anymore and come to the conclusion that its quality not quantity.

Not sure why I have joined more sites, but I find myself looking for more and more and thinking when will it end? Soon it will be a full time job to keep up with all the sites / services that I am signed up to.

One day I will learn…..

This little application will allow you to plan journeys, find the nearest tube entrance, get updates on stations and lines such as maintenance, planned closures , part closers and suspended lines.

You can also find out the departure times in real time and also browse the full tube system map on your iPhone.

Loading Screen

Main Menu

From here you can choose exactly what you want to do. You will see across the bottom the options that are available.

As you can see the option that is selected by default is “Status” this screen allows you to select the line you want and find out critical information such as closures, planned closures, if the service is running as normal etc.

You can choose the line you want and you should see a screen like the one below showing the exact details.

You can also browse the “Maps” section which allows you to view the whole of the tube map on your iPhone, which is of course fully scrollable showing you all the stations.

The “Plan” Option will allow you to plan your route and will tell you which line you need to be on, which stations you need to swap and shows you the other stations you will pass along the route.

Simply select the From Station where you will be presented with the full list of stations which is of course searchable so you don’t need to scroll through them all.

After selection it will revert you back to the “Plan” screen where you will now need to do the same for the destination. After this has been done simply click on Itinerary and you will be presented with this screen, for this journey we have done a short journey from Piccadilly Circus to Embankment.

If we now click on the “Departures” tab we will need to select our line and also station that we are going from, it will then display all the times that the tubes depart and when the next one is. They are really regular sometimes every couple of minutes so no need to panic if you miss the first one!

Select the line:

Select your Outgoing station: I have used Piccadilly again as an example.

You can also use the “locate” tab which will use the built in GPS to find the nearest station to you.

Now because I am no longer in London the distance for me is quite….well a distance!

Allow access for “Tube Deluxe” to use your current location

You will then be presented with a list of stations that are close to your location.

Select the one that is closest to you:

The you will be able to use the following options!

This is a must have application for anyone who hasn’t used the tube system before or anyone who doesn’t use it regular and requires assistance with the London Underground system!

Enjoy!

[rating:5/5]

You must note that this game comes with a warning “BE WARNED: Insanely Addictive!”

Yeah I know you are probably thinking the exactly the same of me, how hard or addictive can it be! You will be surprised!

The aim of the game is to get as high up as possible just by bouncing around and tilting your iPhone from left to right! Just be careful and tap the screen to shoot all the evil things that await you : )

The cool thing that I love about this game is the ability to upload your scores to not only facebook but also twitter!

Facebook update screenshot:

Twitter status update screenshot:

I was playing the game for around 30 minutes last night and after the first attempt I was hooked, it took my mrs to tell me to turn the game off! Even she had a go!

All I can say if you love the logo you are going to love the game!

Here are a few screenshots!

Main Menu:

​

The Green blocks are perfectly safe, but be careful I only said Green Blocks ;- )

​​

If you want a bigger boost to get a higher score, try and get the hat!

​

The blue ones move but are perfectly safe!

​

If you want a MASSIVE BOOST! Then get the jet pack : )
You will notice the brown platform below…if you stand on it and there isn’t a different colour one below then….

​

this is what happens….

​

Oooops – I died, back to the beginning!

DONT FORGET TO UPLOAD YOUR SCORE TO FACEBOOK OR TWITTER!!

I shall be playing this for the next 30 minutes again, I am going to try and limit my self per day to 30 minutes…..unless I get very good!

It seems to be happening to me, I am being sucked in by all the social networking sites you can imagine, not only social networking either. The three logos at the top are the three killers for me, Twittering, Facebooking and Blogging! Twitter is the most used site I use followed by a close second to my blog then coming in last is Facebook which I seem to have gone off.

I once deleted my facebook account but found myself logging back in to reactivate and then disabling it, I just couldn’t stay away from it. It’s kind of like an addiction that is really hard to give up, not sure what it is about these three platforms but it really has me under the thumb, if Twitter told me run around the streets naked I probably would.

I wake up in a morning and within 30 minutes of opening my eyes I always check these.

Not in any particular order but always within 30 minutes these are checked and then checked probably every couple of hours after that throughout the day until I go to bed and that is just a couple of the sites I check regularly.

Throughout the day I usually check on the following sites:

Now I know the above aren’t exactly social networking sites but still, you can communicate with other users from around the globe and share information so I guess it could be classed as social networking but not the same as sites such as twitter and facebook.

The after a little longer i’ll probably go back and check them over and over again, I find myself becoming obsessed and searching the internet for different sites, reading thing that don’t even interest me, writing about things that I don’t really know about, checking out forums, reading tutorials, looking for something that I want to have (a recent example of that is setting up my own short custom URL service) http://rzy.me

It’s more like an addiction and there is nothing that I can do about it!

For all you bloggers out there this icon may/may not mean the same to you as it does to me.

WordPress (which is used to power my blogs) is starting to take up more and more of my time the more I use it. I used to go through stages on how many blog posts I would write, when I find something really interesting I blog about it, If I have a rant I blog about it. Sometimes I just don’t blog at all no matter what is or what isn’t going on.

I’ve set my self a task now that I am going to write much better posts / interesting posts and at least 1 post per day if not more. I do have quite a few websites on the go at the moment and find it difficult to know where to start / which I should start with and how far I should go there always seems to be something else that needs doing / updating / fixing.

I’m not sure if blogging would come under the social networking category either but it certainly connects you to the world.

Those are just a few of the sites / applications I use and check on a regular basis throughout the day and that’s not even mentioning the other email accounts I have or logins for other sites / forums.

Before I forget also, the latest trend that seems to be out there at the moment:

Yep thats right, Google Wave, as good as it is, I also find myself checking this more and more often as I start to use the service more and more, this is even while it is in preview mode and not even gone live…meaning none of my friends are currently on, so you can only imagine how much hammer it is going to get when they finally get on and ride the wave!

I put this all down to one thing and one thing only:

The iPhone! My most valued possession, the one thing I would really feel lost without, the one thing I never leave the house with, the one thing I have a charger for in my car, my house, at work and also always carry my USB sync cable around with me at all time just incase I need to charge from my laptop / computer or even someone else’s computer.

It really is true what Apple say, there really is an app for everything! Twitter, Facebook, Google Wave, Email, reddit and digg plus much more that I use!

I often ask myself what I would do with my time if I didn’t use any of these services or even the internet!
