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:

I was excited for the drive (first long run I have taken my new car on) and also just the fact I love driving. The journey up from Yorkshire is a superb drive and enjoyed every minute of it (except the roadworks on the A1) as soon as we got to scotch corner it all changed and we started seeing the fantastic scenery and also the fantastic quiet roads.

We arrived in Uldale and were highly amused to see we were in a line of traffic on a country lane going very slowly indeed, not because the roads were bendy and windy, nope, not at all, we were not the only “people” using the road… A sheep was running down the centre of the road and we couldn’t pass. Eventually the sheep moved to the food trough and we entered into the small village of Uldale. We pulled upto the two bedroom cottage that we were staying at and met up with the in laws.

That night we had a trip to the local pub (1 minute walk away) called the “Snooty Fox” http://www.snootyfoxuldale.co.uk/ we had no idea what it was going to be like and I honestly thought it was going to be quiet with only a few locals in. How wrong I was, we only just managed to get in for food and was seated at table 11. The food was amazing and I could see why people came from all around to have meals at the bar.

The following morning we had decided to take a trip out and take the dogs (Archie, Dylan and Wolfie) to a beach somewhere. The mother in law suggested we go to St Bees, I had never heard of it but after a quick look on google images the beach looked amazing, although when we got there it was a completely different story. It was full of pebbles and not the type of beach we were after. After a 1hr 30min walk we headed back to the cottage, the inlaws went and found a shop in cockermouth to get some food and they returned back shortly after.

Later that day me and the wife decided we were going to have a look at house prices and we came across an amazing 3 bed cottage in the middle of no where that was empty and in our price range. So us being us, decided to take a drive out and have a look at it. Wow it was amazing, the perfect house for us and in the perfect quiet location (people who know me will know that I don’t really like people) and loves a quiet life. We are still having conversations about the house and thinking of ways how we can achieve our goal of one day living in such a great place and in such a great house.

Later that night we returned to the Snooty Fox and had another meal, this time I opted for the pork which didn’t really settle well on my stomach, I returned home early with a dodgy stomach but personally I don’t think it was anything to do with the food as it was lovely. (a little dry though, could have done with some gravy!)

The next morning (Monday) we headed out to another beach to walk the dogs and wow, another amazing place not far from Carlisle and the beach was fantastic, the rain was belting down and we were getting wet through, the dogs loved it, the wife loved it, i loved it and the in laws did too. After the walk we headed back to the car and I got changed into some dry clothes before hitting the road back down to Yorkshire.

We headed home and realised that we are meant to live up there and also where we want to end up.

Since first getting the iPad I really wanted to jailbreak it but I was too scared, then one day, I received something that made the decision for me. Yep that’s right lets just say I received a bill.

OK so first of all here is how you jailbreak the iPad with spirit.

• Your iPad must be running firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2 (not 3.2.1). (some of the firmware listed there is only avalaiable for the iPhone.)
• Your device must be activated and not stuck in restore mode or recovery mode.
• You will need iTunes 9.2 installed.
• Download Spirit Jailbreak app from the following links: WINDOWS : MAC : LINUX
• Connect your device to your computer.
• Launch the App
• Click the button
• Within seconds you are complete and jailbroken.

Please note the above is from my experience using the MAC version although I guess there wont be much difference with the Windows version, its the Linux one I am not sure of.

Now I love having Cydia / 3rd party applications as well of, Winterboard!!

They have sent off for various allergy tests, blood tests, stool samples and they should be in next week.

The nurse has said his x-rays showed up nothing serious although his intestines were really inflamed. They have prescribed some antibiotics and also some stomach lining fluid (that smells really nice apparently) that we have to inject into his mouth twice a day.

This has really made my day and I’m sure Archie won’t be moping about anymore later on. Now to head to the pet store and buy him some new toys for been such a brave little dog.
happy Jon for once. Picture of Dylan coming a little later on when I have him home.

I would just like to add that vets4pets in Barnsley have been amazing once again, they never let us down and I always have trust in them when they look after my animals!!

It seemed to be a problem with my Flickr account, it happened no matter where I logged on, which machines I used but here is a screen shot of what happened to me

He has had this before and undergone lots and lots of tests but they never came to anything. Now it’s happened again the vets are going to do more blood tests, x-rays and will be keeping him in again tonight.

Even though I have another miniature schnauzer (Archie) and a cat (catty) in the house, the house still feels empty and not the same as it usually does. Archie is moping about and keeps smelling where Dylan lays and just doesn’t know what to do with himself.

The vets have said that if they don’t find anything on the x-rays tomorrow he should be good to come home.

We have had some issues with the insurance company which is totally unbelievable and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing when on the phone to them, that is another blog post but believe me I won’t be staying with the company in question and will be complaining to the max later on.

Fingers crossed dylan will be ok.

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 have started the kick off with choosing a much better (or so I think) theme for my site. The theme I have chosen is one by woo themes and is very minimalistic, just the way I like it.

I’m hoping that all my blogging from now on will be done from the ipad and I don’t actually take a look at the site, every time I look I always decided to change something son for the time being I am going to leave it as it is.

Let me know what you think of the theme.

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

The phone lines open at 8am and I reckon I will be the first caller of the day. I’m starting to love this ipad more and more each day, finally getting used to using it and where I need to lay it down to use the keyboard so I can write blog posts like I am now!!

UPDATE: it’s now 8:30am and the vodafone iPad activation sim line is still not open, apparently they open at 8am Monday to Friday, and yet still at 8:30 they still aint open and the message still says open at 8am. Shocking.

UPDATE 2: iPad in now activated, I opted for the £10 a month which gives me 1gb data allowance
