I did it, I finally did it. My phone now works the way I think it should have. I am running 3.1.3 and have no plans of upgrading to 4. First I jailbroke it using . Once that was done, I used Cydia to install the following applications:

Categories (Free) : Gives me the ability to have folder

CategoriesSB ($1.99) : Integrates the folders into the OS to make them seem normal.

SBSettings (Free) : Gives you fast access to commonly changed settings, 3G, Wifi, Brightness, IP address

iPhone OS Theme (Free) : Makes SBSettings look like it was part of the original design of the phone.

WinterBoard (Free) : Gives you the ability to change how the interfaces look and operate.

Backgrounder (Free) : Gives you the ability to actually have apps run in the background.

ProSwitcher (Free) : Gives you an intuitive interface to switch between background apps.

MobileVolumeSound (Free) : Adds the volume sound found in Mac OSX to the volume popup.

Notifier (Free) : Changes the status bar to notify you of missed calls, emails, voicemails, IM’s etc.

I have made, due to a necessity in trouble shooting, an update to my script that supplies the details of a Certificate file. The output now includes the SAN (Subject Alternative Names) on the supplies certificate.

Build Complete

Ethan and I finished the build. It required a little cutting, a little drilling and a whole lot of time. You can see all the few pictures I took on my Past Projects page.

Build Flop

For those of you who have been following my project as of n0w, the problem is the video card is too long. I cannot close the case with it in there as it hits the drive bay mount. Also, the connections on the motherboard for the sata drives does pretty much the same thing, so I may need angle adapthers. We (Ethan and I) are going to see if we can tuck the frive bay elsewhere in the case and still use the parts I have. Also, this is Ethans quote from last night:
“It’s longer than I’m used to, but I like the girth.”

Because this needs to be said, FrontPage called, said it’s okay to let go.

Pandora stations, we hardly new ye.

feonix83 — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:02:45 +0000

In recent months, as recent as 2 ago, I found my stations created in Pandora that I had worked on for about 2 years to dis appear. At first I had thought there system was becoming crap. Not the best assumption, but it’s all I had. Then about a day or so ago I was thinking. Not only were stations deleted, but new stations came into my account. I realized that it was not the Pandora system that caused the problem, but the iPhone I bought from a friend and returned to them. I was told it would be reimaged before being moved to another person. Apparently this did not happen. The next person picked it up and started using my Pandora account. I verified this with teh person I returned the iPhone to. I am sad. I really hope Pandora support can help me.

Update!!!! 12-17-2009
I contacted Pandora, they were able to reclaim my station and gave me a link to add it back.
I did need to be on a computer running a current version of flash do to this, as the computer at work was not able to import the station.
