How To Hack Into Windows
Jan 4th
I’m not particularly familiar with this method or if it still works. Can anyone verify if this is real? Looks like Windows 98 or 2000 if I am right, but could possibly be a newer version than that.
Back To The Desktop Customization Obsession
Nov 6th
I’ve started to fuck around with desktop customization again, this time geared more toward simplicity and usability. The following example is what I am currently using right now on my desktop. It displays weather, my Twitter feed, uTorrent downloads, and system monitors, all in a very clean fashion.
This is intended more as an informative desktop than something pretty, but it ended up looking pretty good because I am very anal about that >_<

How To Jailbreak iPod Touch (OS 3.1.2)
Oct 17th
So I finally did it, and after all this I wanted to share the instructions on how to do so, mostly for Cupcake (I know she wants to jailbreak hers too). This is really the easiest jailbreak yet, and it works on the latest OS, so definitely do it, everything was so simple and worked great.
As you can see I have done some pretty heavy modifications already, and it was actually pretty easy. Here are the steps to being free of Apple tyranny:
Download and run Blackra1n from the authors web site here
Be ABSOLUTELY SURE you have version 3.1.2 of the iPod OS installed. To check if you do, open settings > General > About, and the version will be listed there. Yes, I stole these screen caps from here because I am lazy.
I won’t bother with the screen shot of Blackra1n because it’s ONE FUCKING BUTTON. If you fuck that up, you deserve whatever happens to you. Just click “Make it ra1n” with your iPod connected, and wait. It will install, then reboot your device. After that, you should see a new icon for Blackra1n on your iPod. Open it up.
You can choose from 3 different installer apps. I went with Cydia, personally, because it is the most widely used, but you can install others too if you like.
That’s it! Now you use the Cydia app like you would the app store, to locate and install new apps.
If you want to change your carrier text (like how I changed mine from “iPod” to “aPoc” install an app called “MakeItMine” and change the carrier text as such).
Take the time to browse themes for your device and find what suits you best!
