A little piece of whatever I decide to talk about

I changed the oil in my truck for the first time yesterday. I should have gotten a few more miles out of that change than I did but that is not the point of this post. It’s no wonder that GM failed due to the lack of ingenuity that go into their vehicles. What should have taken a quick 15 minutes ended up taking over 2 hours from start to finish.

I’ve been jailbroken for almost a week now and I can say the the possibilities are limitless. Jailbreaking OS 3.0 is like turning the device into something completely different.

This post is obsolete at this point. I just downloaded redsn0w 0.7.2 on my PPC Mac and it worked perfectly. I’m updating Cydia components right now. They released 0.7.2 with some bug fixes but did not say what they fixed, or at least I couldn’t find it.. Obviously they fixed the PPC bug, otherwise I’m one lucky bugger.

Different affiliate programs pay different amounts. Sometimes the user would need to fill out a form, sometimes just spend a certain amount of time on the site or click a specific link on the page they were taken to.

On my iPhone I have been using a Twitter client called Twitterific. It is fairly popular amongst the available clients. As most of you probably know, we recently experienced a Twitpocalypse. On June 12th 2009 at 23:52 GMT, many Twitter clients ceased to function. This is due to how Twitter identifies their tweets. As you can imagine, Twitterific was one of them.
