Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1

I am so late to blog about this, but just a few hours ago, the untethered jailbreak for ios 5.1.1 was out! It doesn’t work on all devices I believe. I’m still thinking of upgrading or not. But anyway, so far here are the devices that it works for:

iPhone 4S
iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS
iPad (3rd gen)
iPad 2
iPad 1
iPod touch 3G
iPod touch 4G
Apple TV 2G

I guess it’s better to update to find out the new perks of the updated iOS version!

More details can be found through Redmondpie

Kudos to pod2g, Muscle Nerd and their mates!

Now, should we upgrade?

Just totally random.

I haven’t blogged much, but at the back of my mind I have been wanting to blog about so many techy things I have experienced and that have happened – since I finally had my iPod, my Android Phone and my dream phone Nokia X5; even with my awesome Nokia X6! Either way, I have to put them aside for now even if I want to blog so badly because I need to do other things first for my future, you get what I mean.

But even so, I still think about random stuff. Like diet pills, because a friend has been telling me about this medication she’s taking that is helping her slim down. I wonder if it’s true? Oh well! Why not try? Haha, when I get money lols. I’m sleepy too now, I slept 5 am because of writing notes and also doing an assignment. Overall, it was worth it because I understood our lessons. Except that I didn’t managed to do so good in our practical test, I think all of us haven’t at all lol.

My Semoweb Experience!

No offense against Volumedrive, but because they still haven’t deployed my VPS after almost a week, I decided to purchase a budget VPS from Semoweb instead after browsing a bit in WHT. I found a good plan plus added a bit of memory to my RAM because I thought it would be better with at least 768 Mb of Ram, I do have 1 Gig burst of RAM :)

Moving on, their support is really great so far. Plus up time is pretty good, especially because I’m currently using Lighttpd with my VPS, I tried Apache but I had trouble setting mod_rewrite module plus it uses a lot of RAM! I couldn’t upgrade my installed WordPress as well so yeah, I tried Lighttpd and it was awesome.

As for some uncertainties, I asked support ticket regarding installations also with IP Tables and they reply back really quick about 30 minutes, like they did claim in their website and offers. Dustin, the owner seems to be a nice guy as well – one time, he answered my question regarding this software I wanted to install for security of my VPS. The dudes at WHT are also helpful, there are tons of experts there and I’m glad I’m a member because it makes it easy for me to ask questions, read stuffs that leaves me with new knowledge.

Now I’m planning to move some of the websites I’m currently hosting through Hostgator to my VPS, then I will be also getting a shared plan either from Semoweb again, or my other trusted hosts, Preston Host and maybe Host1me too! Depends on my budget and specific needs although I like Preston Host’s current new deal with their new server, Saturn. However, my funds from my client has not arrived yet. My paypal is empty LOL.

Anyway, so far my Semoweb experience is superb! I am still waiting for my Volumedrive VPS though, after all their VPS offer still have good specs as well which I want to enjoy. But I suppose it’s going to take another week~

I hope I won’t run out of slots? Anyway, I have setup my other domains as well and they have WordPress installed now particularly, Girly Nerd blog and Just Blogged.

In Girly Nerd I will be posting my VPS experiences or whatnots then on Just Blogged, I will simply post my latest updated blogs so my blog friends won’t be confused.

What happens inside a grocery store?

As a blogger and a writer I always wonder how things happen. I know I could always blog about almost anything. And for today, what I’m curious of is how all things happen inside a grocery store?

For no I am researching on how cordless barcode scanner is used and who made it because it’s one of the musts inside the grocery store, right? It’s one of the coolest inventions I bet the sales ladies love – except when it malfunctions. Maybe in the future I will need it too, well, that is, if I get to own my grocery store someday :P

What really happens inside a grocery store? That is for me to find out soon!
