iPhone Software v3.0

I have one of the original iPhones, imported for me by a customer (thanks Urs!) and it’s been interesting to see the development of the hacking tools that go with the software updates. I tend to update infrequently because of the difficulty- it’s like hitting yourself with a hammer- it feels so good when you stop. So I upgraded to

engin

Today I received an email from engin saying they were about to do a network upgrade and I would have to change the outgoing proxy on my voip device. This is the sort of thing that would normally send shivers down your spine because of all the things that can go wrong.   Not so! They actually attached a document

Nicholas Bolton

This is vaguely computer related, so bear with me. You may have heard of this guy- he is the one who bought a whole lot of Bris Connections shares and then tried to get out of paying the installment obligations that came with the shares. In fact he organised a meeting of shareholders ostensibly to wind up the company and

Drobo!

We’ve recently been testing the Data Robotics Drobo Data Storage Robot. They call it a robot because it handles all of the complex stuff behind making a RAID. It’s a black box with flashing lights, some of which work as a capacity indicator, and it looks very cool. It’s a struggle to get people to back up at all (less

Hacintosh!

During the Christmas holidays last year I decided to attempt to install Mac OS X on standard PC hardware, and this is what happened. I started by looking at compatibility lists on the internet, then proceeded to buy a bunch of hardware. I wasn’t too concerned at this stage to plan things down to the last bolt, as I figured there
