Outside looking in

I know it’s none of my business, but I just couldn’t resist… these issues are just so juicy! Hahahaha.

I will exercise my innate nature of being an asshole and weigh in on something. Because believe it or not… I may be an asshole, but I’m an asshole who’s got his head on straighter than most folks.

Plus, I really hate it when I see someone being wrongly villified. I never was the type of person who would defend myself when a woman would wrongly accuse me of something; 1 I would always trust that people who do matter (or people who were smart enough) to know if it was the truth or not… and it has worked pretty well for me as my friends are people I would take bullets for so I guess this is my way of venting my frustrations; by trying to defend others who are in a similar situation. And I’ve had a bunch of people, who I’m not particularly close to, attest to the fact that I will stick out my neck for them if I think they’re being unjustly marginalized. Hell, I even defended a person I didn’t really know while discussing a totally different subject matter. (check the few paragraphs under the Subjectivity header)

If the issue had simply died down and both parties simply let bygones be bygones that would be fine, but from what I’ve been hearing, one is constantly yammering about being a victim, when in reality they have inflicted so much more pain on the other person.

So, (assuming that this will even make it to the people in question) here goes… Read More

Now powered by WordPress

Recently, during my downtime, I’ve been slowly migrating the blog to a new system 1 doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what that system is 😉

The “move” wasn’t really prompted by one being superior over the other (i.e. MT vs WP). Truth be told, while migrating it became very clear to me that MovableType was by far the more superior system simply by the way it tackles data-flow processes. The best analogy I could give now is similar to why I still use Windows for my audio recording when I use OS X for everything else: because it’s more practical.

PC audio apps are cracked left and right whereas OS X audio apps aren’t as easy to find. Take out the whole piracy aspect out of it, and we have a similar situation: WordPress has more plugins being developed than MovableType 2 or at least the plugins I use. I initially wanted to upgrade to MT 4.x, but when I looked for the plugins I considered to be indispensable, I found that WordPress was the better choice.

I’ll do another post for my opinion regarding the switch; for now, let me just welcome you to the new system by pointing out the changes. Read More

Mobile OSX 2.2

So updates to the iPhone/iPod Touch OSes were released, and again, it was another one of those “cross your finger” moments of upgrading; making sure everything restores and nothing breaks. In my case, something broke… and I traced it back to the plethora of pre-installed Cydia stuff.

The “fix” was easy once I figured out the problem; simply let Cydia’s core components install from PwnageTool stock setting (because you can manually download the individual components, which is normally useful if the “stock” stuff are outdated. Since PwnageTool was updated specifically for 2.2, I figured it was using the most recent builds.

So simply put, I didn’t include any of the RED tagged components listed below.

I also updated the “list” from the last time since there have been some changes since the last time I analyzed the files.
