Jailbreaking (iPhone 2G; OS 3.0; redsn0w)15 Jul

I’ve been reading a few posts about people having problems with the latest updates and 2G iPhones…hopefully this will help someone out who’s stuck in reboot mode:

If you’re iPhone gets stuck during the reboot phase, quickly unplug/replug it in via the serial port (plug on the bottom of the phone). That should kick-start the jailbreak install process. YMMV.

Caveat Hacquer.

Franklin’s 13 Virtues08 Jul

Inspired by the results on a “Which Founding Father Are You?” quiz (result: Benjamin Franklin), here are his 13 Virtues (via Wikipedia):

TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.

SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.

ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.

RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.

INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ’d in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.

SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.

JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.

CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation.

TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.

CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.

HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
