Darkane — Demonic Art
This band deserves much more attention. Sounds a bit like The Haunted. Check out tracks Absolution, The Killing Of I.
The Haunted — Versus
I have recently became very fond of them.
Amon Amarth — Twilight of the Thunder God
Great music over all but their songs all sound pretty similar.
This method requires: jailbreaked iPhone 2.x, Cydia, Term-vt100, OpenSSH
Install MobileInstallation Patch from Cydia via “http://www.iphone.org.hk/apt/”, the patch is under section “Tweaks”. If you currently have the hackulo.us MobileInstallation, you ALSO need to install the patch. Don’t worry, you can install appulous apps with this patch.
/Applications using ssh or whatever method you prefer.Now open Terminal on iPhone and execute the following code
su -
chmod +x MyApp.app
ldid -S MyApp.app/MyApp
killall SpringBoard //restart the SpringBoardRun MyApp by touching the icon on SpringBoard.
Update: With the MobileInstallation Patch mentioned above, iPhone 2.2 seems unable to install/upgrade app by itself, you have to use iTunes (8.x) to uninstall an app first, then install/upgrade it.

Because of all the computer network related stuff I have been doing I decided to install a Linux OS on my macbook pro 1,2.
Tried Ubuntu first but it didn't work out very well. Upon the first startup I was able to connect to wifi and install updates. However, after updating the system and rebooting, I lost network manager and the ability to connect to wifi. I've no idea what I did to deserve this, so ended with installing Ubuntu again. This time was even worse, I couldn't even login because the keyboard and trackpad didn't work.
Basically I just gave up getting Ubuntu to work on my MBP. Fedora, however, worked very well and I must admit I really like the blue color scheme. It's cool.
Installing Fedora was quite smooth and uneventful. Although I hesitated when I realized I had to move the free space (partitioned by Boot Camp) to another sequence, but that doesn't matter. After installation I had to tweak the system for trackpad, but that's all. Everything works and I'm truly happy with Fedora.
Now come to the OS part, I don't really care about the difference between yum and apt-get, although apt-get seems to get me more packages than yum could. What I did not get at the beginning is that libraries like libnet and libpcap have a development version and another version which does NOT contain header files. Well, doing yum groupinstall "development tools" is obviously not enough.
Managing fonts on Linux is a pain in the ass, even with FontMatrix. Typographers should stick to Mac OS at all circumstances, believe me.
I'm not quite sure why Fedora doesn't come with Tomboy preinstalled, but it's a really neat software and I currently use it as an equivalent of DEVONthink on Linux, besides all my note-taking apps on the web.
A note about the virtual console on Linux, I think it's brilliant. Mac OS should definitely implement something like this, because this multiple-desktop concept, aka Spaces, is downright stupid compared the multiple-console concept. Plus, isn't it cool to copy and paste using just mouse buttons (um, using a mouse)?
Update: Read up on this guide for a detailed, step-by-step, explanation on how to get Fedora 10 working on your MBP.
I downloaded F10-i686-Live.iso and burned it onto a CD. Used Boot Camp to create a partition for Fedora, because I'm lazy. The compensation is that you will see Windows instead of Fedora, and you have to press Alt every time upon booting to select Fedora. Do not alter the size of free space created by Boot Camp, I think there will be some undesirable consequences if you did.
I have been up to something else ever since I became more and more into web programming (think my last post hints at this, no?). Admittedly, I never really got very far at programming software, but my ganas has shifted onto something else and I don't think I will be calling myself a graphic designer anymore.
A list of things I have done over this week, while having the midterm exams every morning. By the way, it's stupid seeing people dress up for exams. But yeah at least there weren't any PJs.
During the past week I have been developing a website for my school's photography club. It's a blog-like photo gallery thats supports multiple authors, I also implemented author registration for the sake of convenience.
After looking at MovableType (and its plugins), TYPO3 (and its extensions), ExpressionEngine, and WordPress, I decided to go with Symphony. The main reason I chose Symphony is because of its extremely user-friendly and minimalistic backend interface. So people who are not-so-good-at-computers won't get totally confused. Believe me, there are people who don't know how to post a photo in WordPress; user-friendliness is important.
However, I have never had any experience with XSL or XSLT, so I spent half of the development time learnig XSLT. But it is easy to learn since it doesn't really have complicated functions and whatnot. BTW, I know Symphony beta 2.0 is out but since I don't have the time to constantly maintain the website I used 1.7.
Here is a list of functions I added/modified, in addition to the default ones.
Started by off by adding Custom Fields(CF) and pages. I was a bit confused with Data Sources and Utilities at the beginning and wasted some time (didn't read any documentation but who reads them anyway?). Applied my limited knowledge of XSLT when editing pages and utilities. Eventually I added new controllers to work with pages. It took me some time to realize that Utilities must associate with Data Source to work, and Controllers pull data from Elements, which you can choose which ones to include.
This page is extremely helpful, and also search in the overture forum when you have problems, searching in Google is not really helpful.
A quick one. Photoshop, 3DS Max.
