New out-of-the-box iPhones now software unlockable

Posted by natetrue 29 weeks ago

This is NOT my release, but enough of you e-mail me about unlocking iPhones that I figured I should blog about it. Thanks to George Hotz who released this method.

So, if you're looking for how to unlock your new iPhone right out of the box (as of the 1.1.3 firmware), head to this post at The Unofficial Apple Weblog:

Software-only Unlock for iPhone

UPDATE: Zibri released an even easier unlock. http://zibree.blogspot.com/

New birdy (with pictures)

Posted by natetrue 37 weeks ago

Having accidentally killed my old birdy Pistachio in my sleep a couple weeks ago, I decided I needed another bird to replace him. So here's Erythema, a 4-month-old Green Cheek Conure. She is not afraid of my camera (a Kodak V570) so I can get up close and take some great pictures of her (Pistachio was dead scared of inanimate objects).

She is a fan of shoulder-cuddling and, like most conures, will not poop when she's on your shoulder. I still have to teach her to step onto my finger, which is why I clipped her wings last night. I am generally loath to clip a bird's wings, as flying is kind of their thing. She can get her flight back once she's learned that she needs people to take her where she wants to go.

NEWS FLASH: I bought me a birdy

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago

He's a 2 year old green cheek conure, and I have named him Pistachio.

Got him off of Craigslist from a woman who's moving out of state. He looks quite healthy, save for some untrimmed claws and a weird two-layered beak. He is super-sweet though. Snuggles right up to your neck.

Last night he was scared or something and insisted on sleeping next to my head, under this home-made stuffed creature.
