  • iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3

    And the smart playlist syncing issue. Syncing smart playlists, with “live updating” checked, bugged the playlists on the iPhone (there were songs in the playlist that didn’t belong there). Hoping this bug would be fixed ASAP I tried to ignore it as long as possible… However, it so far hasn’t been fixed. As I was…

  • Hamachi: Failed to connect to the engine

    After getting the Hamachi 2 update (without a prior notice, nicely done… No more auto update if they continue to break stuff) I started to notice a bunch of XPs receiving this error after a reboot: Failed to connect to the engine.

Edit: Gmail reverted back to the previous version (imap folders were “Google Mail”, changed to “Gmail” yesterday and today). To version v0.03 won’t work anymore. I’m guessing this was…

  • Prowl: check server status (using ping)

    Yesterday I’ve start using Prowl, as I heard good comments about it. And one of the things I want it to check, are my server statuses. I made a quick script using bash and crontab to check every 10 min if it replies on ping. Per server, I created “host.domain.tld.sh” (e.g. zero.rootspirit.com.sh), and added this…

  • Display iPhone battery status in percent

    With the new firmware, you can now display your battery status in percent (%). For my iPhone 3G this came, out of the box, right after the update to 3.0. I could clearly see the 100% next to my battery icon. But yes, I did have my iPhone jailbroken before I upgraded. Now, appearantly, this…

  • Vodafone Mobile Connect – Incorrect Pin code

    As I usually use my SIM card in my iPhone, I booted my PC, plugged in the Vodafone USB Mobile Connect modem (HAUWEI 220 or something). I then inserted, with the USB device plugged in, my SIM card, and booted up the Mac (and later on Windows) Vodafone application, to connect my PC to the…
