@lungwun

some of us are easily offended by images of the stone age

yeah, yeah.
what happened to the game you were developing?
Mr Ex neoteny.

lol "ex neoteny", how daft in an original way.

well, my game got put on hold because (1) its time consuming and (2) i need a new GPU; saving to buy a new Nvidia, but my board probably wont take it.

Madre dos Dios!! Woe is me, for i am undone!!

I tried the update process, and the bloody thing errored out. Now i'm stuck in the 'itunes-and-cable' screen, and the only option now is to DFU and restore.

Took me ages to get to level 22 in Puzzle Quest. Dammit!

Apparently i needed to be on iTunes 8.2 first. Why didn't anyone tell me?

Be calm, your game save should still be there. if it aint you can as well start all over again.

Anyway, a restore from backup brought back my messages, notes and contacts. I'll keep my fingers crossed that my gamesaves follow through. I hardly ever game on the iPhone, but i've invested so much time in that wretched game, i deserve to see the end. . . or at least kill that Ogre that did me in last time i played.

Happy Sunday, all.

long time tex how u doing?

The 3GS jailbreak has been fully tested n is working. The dev-team are just sitting on it for a while.
Which makes a lot of sense cos, an early release would make apple counter it in their 3.0.1.
something to do with the ECID's or whatnot.

These guys have been able to get MMS enabled on 2G iphones running firmware 3.0.

Phucking Apple with their cheap ploys to make people upgrade.

anyone send mms with MTN ?

iphone OS 3.1 seeded to devs. so no 3.0.1 etc; straight to 3.1, meaning major changes. poor ultrasn0w. here we go again

For me, that means it's time to get a 3GS and put it in cold storage. . .!

the sooner the better, and its a good idea to dump your ibss and get your ECID via www.purplera1n.com else you're doomed once 3.1 hits OTB devices; no more downgrades!

dont know if this is the right place but does anyone have an idea what the best screen protector for the iphone is?

thanks

i use the mirror screen protector

nothing beats Invisible Shield. i still have one left which i'll sell you for one billion dollars.

Turn your gloves inside out. See that 'Made in FRN' sticker? Hint: FRN isn't France
