iPhone 3GS 4.0 Jailbroken!

Well what a morning, after going to sleep last night I had no idea what today would have in store with me. I found myself checking my tweets when I got into work with a mention from @SirTrott asking if I had jailbroken my iPhone yet. This was fantastic to my eyes and straight away I thought damn, I’m at work with no access to iTunes and cannot do it until I get home.

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.

    Twilight fever.

    Something that never really interested me up until now, but over the past weekend I found myself buying “twilight” and “new moon” in HD. So this weekend all I can say is I have gone from knowing absolutely nothing about the twilight saga to becoming a fan and yes of course I am “Team Edward”

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

    Social networking sites – still taking over my life

    A while bagged I blogged about “turning into an internet and social networking freak“ well this is still the case but also has evolved into even more social networking and internet sites.

    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:
            ?        FacebookFacebookFacebook
            ?        TwitterTwitterTwitter
            ?        WordPressWordPressWordPress
            ?        MySpaceMySpaceMySpace
            
    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.

    Sites Recently Joined
            ?        FoursquareFoursquareFoursquare
            ?        FlickrFlickrFlickr
            ?        Run keeper
            ?        Mac-Forums.com
            ?        AllSportsGPS
            
    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…..

    Review: App Store: Tube Deluxe

    Screenshot2009-11-29at18.07.39.png This little application is something I could have really done with last weekend when I was down in London. It’s a must have application for anyone who is going to be using the tube system in London who doesn’t use it on a regular basis!

    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

    photo-212.jpg

    Main Menu

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

    photo-222.jpg

    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.

    photo-232.jpg

    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.

    photo-242.jpg

    photo-252.jpg

    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.

    photo-262.jpg

    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.

    photo-272.jpg

    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.

    photo-28.jpg

    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:

    photo-292.jpg

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

    photo-30.jpg

    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

    photo-31.jpg

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

    Select the one that is closest to you:

    photo-32.jpg

    The you will be able to use the following options!

    photo-33.jpg

    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!

    I am addicted! Doodle Jump iPhone!

    doodle_jump_box1.jpgThis is one of my reviews for an iPhone game called Doodle Jump!

    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!

    Screenshot2009-11-02at21.25.591.png
    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!

    Loading Screen:

    photo-211.jpg?

    Main Menu:

    photo-221.jpg?

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

    ?photo-231.jpg?

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

    photo-241.jpg?

    The blue ones move but are perfectly safe!

    photo-251.jpg?

    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….

    photo-261.jpg?

    this is what happens….

    photo-271.jpg?

    Oooops – I died, back to the beginning!

    photo-291.jpg

    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!
