Gaming

With my GCSEs coming up soon, i shouldn't be particularly endorsing myself with the mind rot that is video gaming. And so, today, i completed resident evil 5. Great game, one of the unlocks for completing it is infinite ammo on whichever guns you have fully upgraded (for a price, of course.)

While this is all fine and dandy, I tend to find computer games quite boring now (shock horror!). I thought to myself today, what shall i do after GCSEs and all that?

Well i thought of a few things;
  • Learn the Piano (always wanted to do that)
  • Mod computers/x boxes/make own awesome computer for something or to sell
  • some coding
While these are all great ideas that i will probably take on, I think it would be a fantastic combination to do all of these.

Peace out. Going into town, not playing games (as i should be!)

iPhone 3.0

There has recently been a lot of hype surrounding the 3.0 software for iPhone/iPod Touch. While some people did the silly thing and download it of a torrent (just to find their iPhones bricked from the lack of developer account), some have decided to wait. It is likely to be released near the WWDC Conference date, possibly on the day.

The iPhone Dev Team have already jailbroken it and will probably be working on an unlock in the near future.

I will be posting a very simple jailbreak tutorial on this blog once it is out and I have worked out the jailbreak procedure. However, I may be able to get free upgrades to the next iPhone (if there is a release of one in the near future), so it may be a while until i write it as new hardware means a new jailbreak has to be found and packaged from the Dev Team.

Music

Music is a huge part of my life. Whenever you see me, it will probably be with a headphone in my ear unless it is where i can't listen to it, like at school or at dinner. It takes up about 10GB of space on my hard drive on my computer now, which is quite a lot. But i guess some people store all their music in FLAC or Apple Lossless, which takes up a lot more space.

How big is your music library?
