http://is.gd/RzA (YouTube video) showing iPhone 2.0 Pwnage at work… soo close to a publically available jailbreak #
http://is.gd/RBk iPod Touch 2.0 *Final* firmware 5A347… last night’s leak was 5A345 #
@BobbyAndersen did you install any apps? It seems to take a while to sync because it backs up things, syncs, installs apps, etc…kinda slow #
@jhuebel I don’t think anyone has invites for GrandCentral. I think Google stopped the invites for the time being. (I just checked mine) #
re-flashing with the *final* iPod Touch firmware (build 5A347) …let’s see if this is any more stable (it has to be) #
@bangbang023 cache? #
@mnassal made a backup first, then flashed it, and now restoring from the backup …hopefully this works *knocks on wood* #
@tktino I’m just hoping the restore will bring over all my settings/installed apps correctly. 🙂 That’d be very nice if it works. #
@iteachcomputers you’d be surprised. the apps are all quite small luckily #
getting a crazy amount of Twitter spam this evening …already received 8 Twitter spam followers #
@blaine Try Twittelator …works much better for me. #
Just tried to update from the v2.0 5A345 iPod Touch firmware to the final v2.0 5A347 firmware and it worked great. 😉 #
ok weird, during the back/flash/restore it didn’t restore all of my apps …about 50% of them needed o be redownloaded. #
@Veronica definitely BattleAtSea …it’s Battle Ship! 😉 #
@mitchellmckenna can you try that URL again? …I think you created it wrong #
Just to confirm: 5A347 is the final build number for the official iPod Touch 2.0 firmware …someone on Endgadget bought it and confirmed. #
Various errands for most of the day. #
@patlutz did you take a screenshot on the iPod Touch? That’s how they let you get the screenshots off…it’ll show up like a camera does. #
It just absolutely downpoured, but now the is out… Can you say rainbow?! #
@brianshaler I think it checks in the background (assuming you have the push set to some time interval), and you’ll get the number indicator #

http://is.gd/QFU MyMobiler controls Windows Mobile from your dekstop …works VERY well if you have a WinMo phone. Awesome! #
http://is.gd/QHC native WordPress app coming to the iPhone/Touch soon…can’t wait to try this one. #
@MarinaMartin Yes, that is precisely what it is. “Better Gmail” is just a collection of otherwise individual Greasemonkey scripts. #
just found a torrent for the iPod Touch 2.0 firmware … *cough* #
http://is.gd/QHT Here ya go: iPod Touch 5A345 v2.0 Firmware …many many people have confirmed it’s real/legit. Giving it a try now #
wish me luck…installing what should be the iPod Touch 2.0 firmware… 😉 #
here goes nothing…the moment of truth…and SCORE!!!! iPod Touch with 2.0 fimrware. #
iTunes now sycns your mail account info from Outlook 2007 to save you the hassle of entering it …very handy #
MobileMe appears to be back up again … it can’t sync my bookmarks with Firefox though? pssh. IE is dead to me. #
I wish Twhirl had a way to filter out any post that includes iPhone or iPhone 3G… #
ok, time to get rid of LinkRiver’s Popular RSS feed…seeing a lot of random porn links. Um, no thanks. #
feeling really odd today…just really…kind of…. off I guess. #
@mattverso I wonder if it’s the same build that leaked last night? Hmm… #
I was under the impression that the iDisk in MobileMe would create a network drive for itself in Vista? …do I need to manually do that? #
@steelopus how did you win the iPhone? #
1 thing I did notice about most of the apps available on the App Store: the vast majority of these appsassume you have a constant connection #
I want to go hide in a dark corner today…I just want a cup of coffee, my book, my girl, and maybe a fire in the fireplace. That is all. #
@mattverso I definitely got “iPod1,1_2.0_5A345_Restore” last night and it installed and runs perfectly on my iPod Touch. #
if I had an iPhone I’d definitely get MobileMe …it does work quite well for it’s purpose. #
buying the MLB At Bat app …I love me some baseball! 😉 #
I’d suggest trying Twittelator instead of Twitterific…it works quite well, and no ads. #
@mattverso a couple of people said it was the GM (gold master) build …we’ll see whenever they actually release it today. #
the “locate me” really doesn’t seem to be working for me … is it usually pretty slow? #
@samuraiBSD no problem #
Retweeting @arstechnica: Microsoft bans TinyURL from Windows Live Messenger – http://tinyurl.com/62lotx …wow, that kind of sucks. #
Address Book on my Mac syncs with Google, seit up to sync with Outlook on my PC using MobileMe …it wiped out all my contacts on Gmail #
We’re talking 4 years worth of contacts …just completely gone. #
How to take a screenshot on iPhone 2.0 — press and hold the “Home” button + press the power button …. you’ll see the screen flash white #
Chill night to hopefully get over this really bad mood. #
@jackpea that is definitely for us. I’ve seen several random reboots/crashes. #

@panache um …isn’t the game already over? I won’t say the score in case you’re watching the game on DVR or something… #
@panache lol …I didn’t want to burst your bubble about Youk’s RBIs …but yeah 18-5 🙂 #
http://is.gd/PNj Grab the MobileMe package early if you want to …(read more at Gizmodo #
Any other Foxmarks users having problems this morning? #
stupid question, but I assume this means the iPhone/iPod Touch 2.0 firmware is now available as well? #
how long are we guessing it’ll take for people to figure out how to strip out the DRM from iPhone/Touch apps? 1 week? 2 weeks? #
http://is.gd/Q4j “10 Clever Protest Signs” …a few are quite funny (others not so much). #
rumor has it Twitter increased the API requests to 100 … can that actually be right? *looks suspicious* #
Retweeting @steverubel: Here’s the iPhone firmware! http://is.gd/Q5j –> http://is.gd/Q52 (direct link) #
I forgot how nice Twitter was/can be when it’s actually refreshing every minute… *fingers crossed* here’s to hoping Twitter stays stable! #
@jxpx777 yeah, I was noticing a lot of dulicate types of applications as well when I was scanning through the apps. It’s too bad. #
@cdevroe if you want to use the slightly more nerdy method you can update officiall now: http://tinyurl.com/6f5upy #
anyone know how/why iTunes feels the need to hook into Outlook? It warned me about closing Outlook when I updated to 7.7 this morning… #
@marcuscavanaugh I forgot about the contact/calendar syncing …that makes sense. Good point. #
Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support (I can’t say I’m surprised. I’m shocked about this bullshit as well.) http://tinyurl.com/66l42b #
http://is.gd/Qcn “Betrayed by Obama” …an interesting article (and yes, I do still support Obama even if I’m unhappy with him about FISA) #
@bmorsh of course people are doing the “Hillary would have flipped in Obama’s situation as well” …which is a stupid guess at best #
absolutely gorgeous weather today… very comfortable and sunny with a slight breeze. just had incredible bar-b-que ribs and pulled pork #
thinking I might use some of my 6.9GB of Gmail space to store songs …it could be just about the most awkward way to store/listen to music #
@alexknowshtml oh that’s right! I hope Last.FM comes up with an app very soon…or at least t he MobileScrobbler guy hopefully makes an app. #
@livecrunch I have a 5GB Box.net account that lets me stream from it inside Netvibes (very cool mashup) that I could also use. #
@livecrunch never seen songza.com before …looks pretty darn cool, but my corporate firewall seems to be blocking the streaming. 😦 #
@livecrunch oh so these are just the audio of youtube videos? that’s funny/cool/weird. #
wow that was fast: my company is already blocking me.com …that’s pretty darn impressive (in an annoying kind of way) #
speaking of which, http://me.com still isn’t working unless I’m missing something obvious… #
iPhone: 2.0 firmware jailbroken, 3G taken apart (Yes, iPhone 2.0 has already been jailbroken…that was fast.) http://tinyurl.com/6363dj #
http://is.gd/QfL images of Installer.app and the App Store living together …very pretty 😉 #
http://is.gd/QtE “Report: Judiciary may hold hearings on impeachment” oh really?! …wouldn’t that be nice. #
thank god Rapidshare.com got rid of captcha…no more stupid (impossible to see) cats of doom! #
Dear Apple, please release the 2.0 firmware for iPod Touch customers. Please. #
Bush Signs Spy Bill, ACLU Sues (the chances the ALCU stands a chance? Slim, but it’s better than nothing.) http://tinyurl.com/62smvp #
yeah, it really sucks when you lose all of your iTunes playlists/ratings/meta data …*sigh* #
Retweeting @jcroft: Wow! Me.com is working! indeed! it’s finally working (*knocks on wood*) #
I take that back …can’t sign in to MobileMe on my PC. Created my trial account, but can’t sign in to IMAP or iDisk. #
oh, and MobileMe (website version) doesn’t offer a secure site … no https?? That’s…ugh, odd to say the least. #
lol… and MobileMe just fell off the face of the earth again. Way to go guys, you’re giving Mozilla a battle for worst launching… 😛 #

@bangbang023 “Original, Shuffle, Nano & Classic, but NOT iTouch or iPhone” ….damn the world. so close! I would have loved to switch. #
reading for most of the evening…it’s too damn hot outside still #
I wish I could filter out all iPhone related crap for the next week. It’s just a (crappy revision to a) phone! #
freakishly warm and humid already this morning…hoping the rain they are predicting will cool this down a little bit. #
@k1v1n I’d have to agree with you…I have no idea what they could possibly be thinking with this one. #
anyone using Mozilla Weave with Firefox yet? I’m curious if you like it…I’m using Foxmarks at the moment for my bookmark syncing. #
http://is.gd/Onk weird/cool …BestBuy is apparently selling Ubuntu (and has been for almost 2 months). This has long-term support. #
wish I could figure out a way to avoid this 4 hour long seminar this morning … *sigh* I think I’m stuck going. #
Mind-numbingly boring seminar…just as expected. At least there is plenty of coffee for the time being. #
skipping out on the seminar, I have better ways to spend my time than attending a joke of a seminar on time management #
I hate people who are rude for no reason. There’s a time/place where it’s ok to be rude, but doing it just to be “funny” is not one of them. #
@jakemarsh MobileMe – no, we’ll see how fast it is. 3G iPhone – hell no. still no cut/copy & paste, crappy camera, etc. #
heading out to lunch before the massive thunderstorm hits… #
and woot! I got the fancy new Gmail security login info thing added to my account today…quite handy, makes me feel better. #
http://is.gd/PnG Firefox 3.1 nightly passing the CSS3 selector test. 578 out of 578! 🙂 #
@Twhirl I hope Twhirl adds support for http://bit.ly/ soon …that would be really handy #
http://is.gd/PA5 oh f*ck …. the Senate just passed the Telecom Immunity Bill ….f*ck. That is really not good. #
http://twitter.com/activity “This feature is currently restricted to Friends of Twitter only!” …interesting! #
I wonder if â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ knows I’m in â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ with her? #
what’s the deal with all the â–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆâ–ˆ ?? Can someone enlighten me? #
@steelopus lol…yeah, I noticed he did it earlier as well. I thought I missed some big obvious news. 😉 #
ok fine, I’ll admit it. After watching the demo for MobileMe I like how it “just works”. I do want to see what the transfer speeds are tho #
@Matthom I agree to a point. The free options do exist, but they require a bit more effort (but free is so much better than $99/yr) #
@Matthom I love the platform-goodness of Microsoft’s Mesh, but Apple just seems to have been MobileMe so easy to use…it’s compelling #
http://is.gd/PEo useful tip for setting up quick links to easily find Gmail attachments by type (video,music,pics, etc) …very handy. #

http://is.gd/O5l “the reports of Twitterâ€™s demise have been greatly exaggerated” #
http://is.gd/O85 Heard about Yahoo’s oneConnect? Sounds like it could be really cool…too bad it’s still not available. #
@BookWarren it’s not a phone, it’s just an app…it looks like it might be for the iPhone though maybe it’s for WinMo as well #
getting all kinds of Twitter spam followers this morning …they seem to come in spurts (10-15 at a time) #
really not feeling very well today. I’d like to take a nap please. #
live in NYC and interested in testing an ” exciting new hardware product will provide portable Internet functionality”? DM me for info. #
90 something and humid… Yeah, definitely not sitting outside with my lunch. #
http://is.gd/Ooa What it looks like “when clouds die” (Google clouds, that is). #
@BookWarren good point! We really do need morw vapor-puns in our lives 😉 #

Yeah, that would be that empty feeling returning…just dropped off T at the airport 😦 #
being here at work is literally the LAST place I’d like to be today. my mind is totally some place else. #
wow, it’s going to be insanely hot today…it’s already getting uncomfortable at my desk and it’s only 9am #
How is everyone doing on this Monday morning? Glad to be back to work? (yeah, me neither) #
Retweeting @TechmemeFH: Why you’ll have a long wait for Microsoft’s next OS http://tinyurl.com/6naoap …very interesting article. #
@flocker if I installed Flock (Sulfur) from the trunk installer should I be seeing daily updates? I haven’t seen an update yet… #
@EvilChick Thanks! 🙂 We had an amazing weekend. How was your 4th? #
suddenly starving…usually not nearly this hungry for lunch. #
http://is.gd/N3W “The Human Mirror” …aka: messing with people’s heads in a humerous kind of way. #
@flocker so the nightlies don’t make use of the auto-upgrader that’s part of the Firefox 3 code? #
is it weird that I’m reading The Odyssey for the fun of it? Do people just read Homer for the fun of it? #
@edythemighty I already read the Iliad…. absolutely loved it. Reading the Odyssey now though it’s not nearly as good. #
@Matthom That’s what I thought. It’s so much better just being able to read stuff like this for pleasure without the pressure of a grade. #
@Matthom I’m reading a variety of stuff: Sun Also Rises – Hemingway, Sound and Fury – Faulkner, Odyssey – Homer, East of Eden – Steinbeck #
@Matthom trying to “catch up” on all the “classics” I never actually read in school #
@Matthom I’d highly recommend Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides as well. One of my favorite books:it’s funny, witty, and has a bit of sarcasm. #
How many emails do you have in your Gmail account? I have 4,979 emails (going back to June 2004) #
@Matthom The plot may sound quite odd to you, but try to keep and open mind 😉 #
@ccarmichael based on this “how to” http://is.gd/Lyr it doesn’t sound all that bad. I wish I had a server to try it on at the moment. #
@flocker makes sense. Thanks for the information. #
iTunes just destroyed my iTunes library …and took all my playlists with it. Wow, really not amused. #
I’d pay for software that would sync with my iPod if it meant I wouldn’t have to use iTunes ever again. #
@Matthom 3rd time in the past year it has totally destroyed my entire library. I need to recreate probably 30 playlists now. it sucks #
Retweeting @zeldman: “Social networking features” is the new Flash intro. retweeting because it’s true (and funny) #

@steelopus I was sitting there with my other sidebars in Flock and it hit me…a RTM sidebar would be SO helpful/handy #
Red Sox have 2 outs, bases loaded…Lowell up to bat …let’s go boys! #
Red Sox lost. poo. off to an early bed time …big plans tomorrow evening 😉 #
Oh, and playing with WordPress 2.6 Beta 2 a bit …the Admin dashboard using Google Gears is VERY speedy #
yeah, definitely couldn’t sleep (much). ah well, sometimes sleep just feels really boring #
“…I didn’t move a muscle. I hardly breathed. That was the deal basically: catatonia without; frenzy within.” #
rocking out (if you can actually call it that) to some Coltrane, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, etc …very very nice 🙂 #
cleaning, vacuuming, and more generally just keeping busy so that I don’t have time to get antsy/freak out 😉 (a good kind of freak out) #
http://is.gd/Kyc MS office (home and student) + OneCare = Microsoft Equipt … still not a fan of renting software for $70/year. #
damn it. I just ruined my white polo shirt…it’s not a shade of off pink. #
Picking up groceries and grabbing some lunch. #
http://xkcd.com/444/ MacGyver gets lazy …lol. hilarious if you ever watched MacGyver in the past (or just funny in general) #
Retweeting @mozillafirefox: Congratulations everyone! It’s officially a new world record: http://tinyurl.com/5ctj3u #
listening to an advanced copy of Nas’s Untitled album (the album formerly titled “N**ger”) #
@manaswi good question. I bet it includes auto-updates as well. I use nightlies on 3 computers …didn’t “officially” download it at all. #
@manaswi excellent question. maybe it doesn’t include auto-updates then. just individual visitors/downloaders from their site? #
just once it would be nice to get a pleasant surprise. or maybe at least have a negative assumption be proven wrong. that’d be cool. #
T _ _ _ s is hear for the weekend…probably will be offline the vast majority of that time. See/talk to you Monday. #

I easily set a new record in the month of June for my number of Tweets. New total is 604 at the moment …previous record was 535. #
@steelopus the past few days it has been signing me out 1-2x a day. It seems to go through good/bad weeks, kind of weird. #
@bpw not a whole lot of time usually. most of my Tweets aren’t while at work. Some days are slow, but not most of the time. #
@steelopus what I meant to say was that I have issues staying logged in, but I’m not having issues with tasks showing up/not showing up. #
@steelopus Firefox 3? (though this was happening with Firefox 2 if I remember also) #
just need to get through 1 more day in the office, tomorrow I’m working from home, and then it’s finally time for my mini-vacation #
http://is.gd/zmO MediaTemple’s virtual OSX Leopard Server sounds awesome…I hope I get into the private beta for it. #
definitely didn’t realize it was July 1st today 😉 …I mean, sure it makes sense now that I think about it… *blush* #
@steelopus 😉 I like OSX Server, from the little bit that I’ve played with it in the past. I’ll give credit where it’s due. #
@steelopus oh man. so not cool. 😉 Teasing geeks with new hardware is not cool! I walk by our massive server room each day and drool a bit #
@steelopus I could always help you “test” it. When does it go into production? Or is it literally just for testing/dev right now? #
@steelopus can’t hurt to sign up for the beta, could always decline if you get accepted. domains are cheap anyways. #
already seeing the infamous Twitter whale this morning…that’s a bad indication for the day ahead in Twitter stability. #
http://is.gd/Jzn List of banned books (with PDF download links to all of them) #
@steelopus get into the beta first 😉 then worry about the domain later. http://is.gd/JzT 1and1.com has $2.99/yr “.us” domains right now #
wow…a “simple little fix” just turned into 3 1/2 hours, BUT we did fix it 🙂 #
@steelopus 1&1 isn’t dime-a-dozen. They are HUGE in the UK (that’s the only down side – support is based on UK time) Used them several times #
@heidihoover hmm? I think the “in reply to” is messed up on my end. I don’t know what you’re referring to. What is/was banned? #
Crazy morning…hoping the afternoon slows down a bit. *fingers crossed* #
@flocker I’m a alpha/beta addicted, but thanks for the warning! 😉 #
busy busy afternoon as well. *sigh* …but it’s just about done which is always nice as well! #
really had serious doubts that my car was going to make it home…that was quite likely the last time I will ever drive that car *sniffle* #
playing around with the Flock 2.0 nightly…pretty darn stable so far! #
@flocker can I send you feature suggestions as well? a Remember the Milk sidebar would be AWESOME if done right. That would be killer! #
http://tinyurl.com/6ip Adobe Reader 9 is now available …MUCH faster than Reader 8, quite impressed actually. #
@bangbang023 the first boot of the app is slow, but then it takes literally less than 1 second to open up. #
yummy Chinese food and a little baseball/reading. looking forward to a nice chill evening. #
If Last.fm made a portable streaming music/radio device would you buy it? I’d buy it in a second. (if the price was right) #
