 | iPhone Custom Ringtones Workaround Still There February 12, 2008 1:23pm in tech |
Back when the iPhone Firmware version 1.1.2 and iTunes 7.5 was released, people found a workaround for free custom ringtones from any MP3. I of course wanted to see if it would work, and sure enough it did. I was concerned as to how long the workaround would last figuring Apple would notice and close it up in future updates. Then the 1.1.3 firmware became available which added a bunch of features that I liked so I figured I'd give it a try hoping that the upgraded firmware would not mess up my ringtones. After crossing my fingers and installing it, sure enough, the custom ringtones I made were still available. iTunes 7.6 has been available for some time now, but I've been cautious about installing it thinking that it might be the update that disables the workaround. Well last night upon installing OS X 10.5.2, I decided that I might as well give it a try. Luckily my ringtones are still there, and I'm still able to create new ones, so obviously the workaround is still there for iTunes 7.6 and the iPhone 1.1.3 firmware. Here's the link for the workaround. Note: this requires at least iPhone Firmware 1.1.2 and iTunes 7.5 Create Custom Ringtones for your iPhone [macrumors.com] |

| Mediocre Week December 14, 2007 9:49am in life |
The week didn't go by too badly. I am glad it's Friday though. I've spent the last two days at work trying to work out IBM's Rational Performance Tester. I tell you, to download and install it, was a trick and a half. However, once installed, it's actually relatively simple to operate. It appears to be based off Eclipse, the open source Java IDE (now supporting C, C++, and PHP as well). I'm not the biggest fan of Eclipse but the interface seems to do well for this program. I got myself a nice Phillips 5.1 surround system for my TV and it sounds BEAUTIFUL...just need to get some speaker stands and figure out how to get the on screen display to work and it will be perfect for me. Anyway, last night, was of course poker night. Small gathering this time, Brian, Tim, and myself. It was still fun. Ended up going up $5. Brian now probably considers me the riverboat captain, or a river rat as his last hand he paired 10s, I paired 9s. Then the river gave me a flush Ace high. So I was quite happy, particularly since I was fluctuating most of the game. Pretty much got myself up to $15 and based on the time and me not wanting to press my luck, I bought out, which Tim was more than happy to oblige as he needed to get home too. Poker this weekend sounds good...anyone interested? |

| The New Job November 14, 2007 10:00pm in life |
| Well day 3 ended and so far I'm really liking it. I mean I can already tell it will be right up my alley. I'm not doing any development just yet, but i realize that that's pretty much because I'm new. The code really wouldn't make a lot of sense to me right off the bat anyway, I'd have to look at it first and read through it to know what everything is doing. The week is half over and it really feels like it just started, but you won't see me complain about that. Almost the weekend!
And so I fall I don't want to feel this small... Tags: Array |

| Kinda Weird Now November 04, 2007 12:37am in life |
| Well I just completed my last full week at my job. Next week I work Monday through Wednesday and that's it. It feels weird knowing that my first job out of college ended so soon. I'm trying to leave professionally with no bridges burned and I think I'm accomplishing that feat. I gave my 2 weeks notice and am continuing to do my job to the best of my ability. It wasn't a bad job, just not quite what I was looking for, the programming to support ratio was far too skewed to support than what I was expecting or wanted. It was a good experience and I'm thankful for the chance I had there. Thursday is my test at the FBI. Even with my new job at ActiveStrategy, I figure I'll do it, see how bad I do heh. Friday, well I just can sleep in and relax. Probably will relax all weekend and start my new job on Monday.
Went to Bailey & Kat's party tonight, wasn't that bad of a time, and I wasn't the only one not dressed up too so I didn't feel too badly. Haven't really dressed up for Halloween since like sophomore year in high school, never really felt like it or really had any real motivation to do so. Oh well. Tags: Array |

| Decisions, Decisions October 22, 2007 9:18pm in life |
 So I got the job offer at ActiveStrategy. I interviewed with them I think 3 weeks ago. The position seemed pretty nice. No support was the big nice thing. I'll be doing programming in C++, C#, XML, XSLT, ASP, & SQL. It seems like a pretty good job and is what I'm looking for. Should help build up my professional programming experience. The salary is better than currently. Not by a lot, but by a decent chunk. Location is even better...closer too. Benefits are up to par with what I want and my current job. Benefits listing didn't list optical insurance, but dental and medical are both there. All in all it seems like a perfect fit for me. Why am I hesitant to actually actually accept the offer? I mean I know I'm going to. Is it because I don't want to upset Gary or any of my co-workers? Am I afraid that by some strange demented slim chance it's going to turn out the same way as currently, almost pure support? I mean they flat out told me there would be absolutely no support but why am I worried then? At the end of the day, there's really no decision to be made, I should go with the programming job with ActiveStrategy. I'm kinda worried I'll be treated like shit for my last two weeks since I'm "ditching" the company but I dunno. Leaving the Army Corps, while hard, was an easy decision. Keith needs a job, this looks promising, accept it. Well, almost 4 months later, I'm sick of the job, kinda sick of the way I've been treated, and not doing what I was looking to do...programming. Why, already knowing my decision, am I debating this so much? |
