Yes, I did finally update this. This time two separate video’s to attempt to keep the boredom viewing times to a reasonable limit.
This is being done on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine and the USB drive is a 2GB Kingston. Its older, but more than sufficient for the job.
Part 1:
Part 2:
I hope this helps anyone having issues with this process. If you have any questions feel free to comment.

Well it’s good to know that updates bring change.
Many times change brings about a better way of doing things. Other times it may bring change to old familiar ways and we may not like them. Take the moving of the Gnome window buttons for minimize, maximize, and close.
The latest version of Ubuntu decided to move these buttons to the left side of the window. This isn’t so strange. Many OS’s over the years have had the close button on the top left, but rarely the other buttons. I understand that Microsoft Windows has set the position on the right and when I adopted Windows as a OS I quickly became quite familiar with this method and today, take for granted their position since both KDE and Gnome Desktops for Linux did the same thing. However as of Ubuntu 10.04 it’s now on the left.

I try to avoid software thats end of life but occasionally I get stuck with a few programs that just don’t have any updated versions or are tied to a piece of hardware that I need to use. LCDC is software designed to run little LCD displays you can buy for your computer. I have one in particular thats over 3 years old now but still runs great. However it hasn’t been updated well ever.
Today I took to scanning my PC and discovered that some of the plugins for LCDC were infected. I decided to check the web site http://www.lcdc.cc/downloads.htm for updates, it didn’t appear off hand that any were actually updated, but it does appear that some are not infected and others still are.

For those that have been following me since January of this year you may be aware that I took advantage of downloading the open beta version and testing it on a few machines.
I had really good luck with various systems and even installing it in VMware. My only real hangup was my main gaming rig which runs Windows XP SP3, simply refused to detect the DVD drive. Which was very strange since it was booting and running the setup from the very same drive. All the VMware machine I build used the same drive also although I’m aware VMware does use it’s own drivers but that was it. Every other box, method I tried worked without major problem
Today Saturday Oct 24, 2009 I took the liberty of installing both Windows 7 Ultimate x64 AND Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 Karmic Koala Release Candidate x64 on the exact same laptop a Compaq presario CQ60 laptop which came with Vista Home Basic which I really did not want. If you want to find out about my Installation for Ubuntu check out the next story. I’m publishing this one first so it should be the one right after or the newer one.

Well Apple has released another update but it appears that they didn’t bother to announce the update. I was just pushed out and supposedly resolves a bunch of little issues, with things like ‘connectivity’ according to the notes I read. But the real news is the fact that new iPhone 3GS shipping as we speak to a vendor near you will be using the new Bootrom, the iBoot 359.3.2 which protects the iPhone from jailbreaking using the 24kpwn exploit.
The iPhone Dev-Team is currently working on a possible solution, but are making several suggestions to anyone thinking of getting a new 3GS and what to do to prepare for any chance of jailbreaking it. I’d like to say I didn’t see this coming but honestly I’m surprised it took this long. How long it lasts? Well, stay tuned.
For the rest of the public, PwanageTool 3.1.4 has been released and works with the new update. Feel free to comment about how you feel about jailbreaking, and this development and whether this will sway your decision to purchase an iPhone.
