UStream

So here's a quick demo of the UStream app here on my blog. I was undecided whether I should post my youtube channel or my ustream channel... but ultimately ustream was a lot cooler. If you take a look at the ustream app, more than likely it says it's offline and will have links to past videos. If it says someone is online and has a play button, then that means I am currently streaming something live from my webcam or iphone. I don't even have to save the video for it to show on ustream, I can just be streaming it live on my phone, and the best part, it's free! :) When you watch the video embedded below, keep an eye on the ustream app in the video.. you will be able to get an idea on how it works with my phone.

Clannad=Greatest Anime Ever!

This is an anime series that I recently finished watching, and I have to say that it was amazing. This is by far one of my top favorites, and one I wouldn't mind watching again. I found the above video on youtube, and mad props to the poster, cuz those are some of the best songs off the OST. This is on my to buy list.. although only the first season is out on DVD. You would have to watch fansubs to see the second season. It's to bad that there is no english manga for this out. If you want to see more info on this anime, click the link in the sidebar to the right. It's listed under anime of the year. It'll take you straight to an info page for this anime.

Oh and fair warning, this will probably be one of the saddest animes you have ever seen. So if you cry, don't say I didn't warn you ;)

Jailbroken Iphone

The above pic shows some of the programs I've used in jailbreaking my iphone, like blackra1n and cydia. The terminal in the pic is used to change your default root password

I don't know why it's taken me so long to jailbreak my iphone being as curious as I am. I think it was the scare of bricking my only phone aka lifeline :) , that has kept me from doing it. The thought of playing mario and older NES games on my iphone is what one me over. Plus I read up on some things to do at the command line that I found really intriguing.

If you are considering jailbreaking your iphone, think about why you want to do it first and if it's possible to do without jailbreaking. It's awesome to have an open and "FREE!" iphone, but it's now also open to more security threats. Not to mention that you may end up turning your iphone into a fancy paperweight.

If I haven't scared you yet, and you still want to jailbreak your iphone, I'll point you to some of the sources that I used when Jailbreaking my iphone. Now mind you my iphone is version 3.1.2. If you are an older version of iphone you may want to update it before applying the hack. There have been reports of problems where iphones that were jailbroken, not working after the update.

I used a program called Blackrain to jailbreak the iphone. It's very simple to do and was in fact done from a computer that wasn't my main one. Firstly have your iphone connected to your computer with it's cord. Then download and run the blackrain program. A simple box with one button will open up...click the button. Voila your phone is cracked :) yes that simple.

Now your phone is going to reboot, and you will notice that the blackra1n pic shows while your iphone loads.. don't panic and yell hax! it's ok. When your iphone is finally booted all the way up and you are logged in; you will find an application titled blackra1n. Go ahead and run that app. It will give you 3 options, select hacker. You will need the command line to change your root password later. When it came to packages, I downloaded the cydia package. You also have the option here to unlock your iphone so you can use it on different carriers other than ATT

Your basically done and free to do whatever you want with your phone. I recommend you poke around the packages and find things to install and play with. I also have links at the bottom of this post that you should look through. They talk about securing your iphone now that you've made it a little more vulnerable.

Happy New Years!

I know I'm a few days off the ball, but happy new years everyone! Hope everyone had a good time and ended the year with a bang. Thanks for the new year wishes @maggie and @maxivelasco. Also thanks to my friends on FB.

So this year is a great year, I've been waiting for this year for the past..iono.. 7 years, haha. Why? well it's the year of the tiger! I was born in 86, so that means this is my year :) No offense, but tiger is the coolest year of them all ;P

This year may have just started, but time is already looking scarce.. it could just be the time of year. But just in this month, wrk is going to get busier, I have school starting, and the new arena season for WoW starts. Gonna have to be at the top of my game for all 3 of those.

So for anyone who wants to know my new years resolution, how about one for my blog :)

This year, for my blog, I will get my hands dirty with some photoshop and create a new design for the blog

Xmas Card

So my mom asked me to help create a brady bunch look alike of our family. This is what I have so far. A lot of the images I had to work with weren't that great. Hopefully we can find some better ones, if not, my mom should do my idea and just take new pictures against a solid color wall. Oh wells.
