People are Racist

So a lot of people (mostly Right-wings…surprise!) are starting to question Obama’s religion: a lot of these same people believe that he’s a Muslim.

Obama has stated publicly again and again that he is a Christian.

Which now brings me to my point: I don’t give a damn about Obama’s religion. Why should it matter? It doesn’t…and it shouldn’t.

I hate people. There are a lot of other issues to bitch about and they are so hung up on this.

I jailbroke (?) my iPhone 4 yesterday. Now I can’t wait to restore it. I just realized i have no use for it and a lot of cydias UI is so fugly.

Update: Back to 4.0.2

Hackint0sh Upgrade: Solid State Drive

dalegaspi — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 02:07:14 +0000

SSD’s have come down in prices for a bit that it made sense for me to upgrade the Hackint0sh main drive to use one. The dilemma I had was that I didn’t want to start all over again on the install. After a bit of googling, I found this blog entry. I used SuperDuper to clone the drive, and followed the advise to use the Chameleon Package Installer even though I actually used Rc3…but I encountered a KP upon first boot. So what I did differently this time after cloning via SuperDuper was to follow my own directions on making the drive bootable. I took a step further and updated the Disk UUID and recreated the Extensions kext bundle using the Kext Utility.

And Voila! I am now typing this on my SSD-fortified Hackint0sh.

My iPhone 4 Case

I never really wanted to use a case for my iPhone 4; I was compelled to get one not because of the media-sensationalized “Antennagate” (a.k.a., the “Death Grip”) but because of so many reports of the *back* of the phone easily breaking.

At first I got one of the MiniSuit iPhone case, which gets the job done, but makes the phone thick! I ended up getting a Bumper (for free, of course) and just applying the BestSkinsEver back protective cover.

Limbo

This is probably one of those simple yet engrossing game i have ever played. This game certainly reminded me so much of “Out of This World.”

10.6.4 Update

dalegaspi — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:51:53 +0000

If you used this guide to update to 10.6.3, then updating to 10.6.4 is a cinch:

Delete SleepEnabler.kext
Delete AppleHPET.kext
Save AppleHDA.kext
Upgrade to 10.6.4
Reboot
Download and install the latest SleepEnabler.kext
Restore AppleHDA.kext
Repair permissions
Reboot

At this point, everything should be fine and dandy. I’ve read somewhere that USB issues on wakeup from sleep has been addressed, so I re-enabled sleep on my system. I’ll update this post on my findings.

LOL. Whut?

Another 10K with the Newton Gravity

I mentioned that I was contemplating on exchanging the Newtons for a half-size larger because of the very slight digging on the big toe that I felt during long runs.

Yesterday, I ended up doing just that. I told the associate that the size 9 I have was mostly fine except for that slight digging sensation after a run which is neither pain nor numbness. She said that over longer runs that would become pain.

So I exchanged it with a 9.5…which, to be honest, was a bit weird…but the associate assured me that it was fine, since the location of the lugs on the shoe’s forefoot is still where it should be in reference to my foot (wait…did that make sense?).

I went for a 6.5-mile run this morning…and I’m happy to report that the digging sensation is GONE.

Thank goodness I bought this through RoadRunnerSports. The 60-day “No Questions Asked” return/exchange policy is a godsend.
