Climbed an 11a yesterday, with overhang. Janet was on belay, and she didn’t pull me up the wall.

No signs, the sidewalk was not roped off.

At this point, hacking the iPhone is pretty easy, provided you have a reasonable grasp of UNIX, Google-fu, and patience. I finally got MobileTerminal running this evening, after mucking around with various source and binary installs of the iPhone toolchain, binkit, iPHUC and other bits. The real kicker was the 1970s-era shell that you’re forced to use until you take care of the necessary bits to install Bash. Things of note:

• All the usual bin utils run fine.
• SCP, once you get it working, works fine.
• You can start graphical apps remotely, and they come up on the screen.
• You can kill them like any other process.

For the most part it’s just like any other UNIX box. I can’t wait to start mucking with UIKit.

…I used to design stuff. Websites, logos, tradeshow booths, user interfaces, videogames, levels, flyers, CD covers, packaging. I went digging through old archives of hard-drives of archives of hard-drives today and pulled out a few gems from 1992-2001, including a 1997 design for the first celebrity gossip blog.
