Well, it’s the end of the quarter and I just got my final grades back for my IT254 class and I ended the quarter with a B+. I have the whole next week off from school and so far I’ve been spending that time playing WoW which after careful thought I should be using that time to get me ahead a little with Java.

Program: Associate of Science in Information Technology
Concentration: Software Systems Engineering
Enrollment Status: Active

An instructional video about how to replace your iPhone battery without paying the $100 to send it into Apple. Video is by Nate, creator of the iBrickr which I’ve talked about before.

Be careful if you plane to replace your iPhone battery yourself, because you just might bend or damage your case! I remember the first iPod I took apart. It was a 3rd generation iPod and I had to replace the battery in it, and ended up bending the case. It was one I got off eBay and the serial number was scratched out, so I’m sure it was stolen.

Anyway, case is sensitive, be careful!

I can log into my classes at CTU on my iPhone:

Since I updated my phone to firmware 1.1.1 missed my other applications. I knew I didn’t want to revert back to 1.0.2 and the whole process seemed a little painful to be honest. I found this one-click Jailbreak guide and it worked great on the first try. Just make sure you follow the step by step instructions and reboot your iPhone every time it asks. There is one time it asks you to reboot your iPhone twice in a row. DO IT!

One-click Jailbreak for 1.1.1 (Windows)

Oh ya. Enjoy and have fun!!!!

This is what my iPhone looks like now.

Well, I updated my phone today (partly on accident since I wasn’t paying much attention) to 1.1.1 .. and … when it came back up, it said “Please Activate iPhone”

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Then it restarted again and told me it was activated. I was seriously scared for a moment. So my phone came back all nice and pretty and my third party applications were wiped out and the new wi-fi iTunes was sitting all pretty and purple on the 4th row.

The question is, so I jailbreak it again? Do I wait for Apple’s SDK? What 3rd party applications did I use a lot. Well ..

1. iLight - I live in the woods, it’s very very dark in my house at night. Before bed when I’m turning off all the nights I use my iPhone as a flashlight
2. NES - The new Nintendo Entertainment System emulator is really nice. They have sound working on it so I can pull out Mario Brothers or Zelda anytime I please. Or, I used to, before today.
3. Sudoku - Ya, it’s just a fun game.

What is your favorite 3rd party iPhone app?
