Yesterday was the release of Pwnage Tool 2.0. Immediately I downloaded the tool although I was having trouble actually trying to download it, I guess their server was being hit.. anyways, I was using wget to download it. Well after I manage to download it, of course I unlocked my iPhone first generation with firmware 2.0. What does this mean? It means, I can have my iPhone be more like a computer, now I can connect to it via ssh, and use T-Mobile if I wanted to.. Official third-party apps continue to work. It’s better than ever.

If you need to unlocked firmware for your own phone download it here..

How to use the custom firmware? simply just plug your iphone holding the power button and the home button for about 10 seconds and iTunes says you are in recovery mode. That is a good sign. After you need to option click on recover button to browse for the unlocked firmware. Then just sit back and let iTunes do whatever it does.. Enjoy.

Hello, Finally you can host all those sinatra apps you have been building on Dreamhost. They have Phusion Passenger 2.0 RC 2 and it can run Rack based apps like Sinatra, Merb, Camping, etc.. I had to do some hacking to get this to work for some reason doing require ’sinatra’ was not loading, so I had to do an absolute require and then it all worked great. I created something simple with Sinatra being hosted on Dreamhost. check it out! modrails.fernyb.net

I host almost all my stuff with dreamhost and I figure I would give out this promo code out.
Enter Promo Code: WEBBER1 when signing up and receive the following:

While I read post by post about FriendFeed I try to ignore it until today, it got me, So I signed up and you know what? friendfeed sucks, I don’t get it… Everyone is raving about it, it just seems to be everywhere you read. It just seems like a jaiku clone with some extensions. So case in point I have an account with friendfeed and there is no point to friendfeed nothing new, nothing original, & nothing creative. It almost seems like friendfeed could be a feature in a social network then it would make better sense.. 

It has been a long time that since I last did some serious skateboarding, maybe too long. I still continue to skateboard just not that serious about it as some of my friends are. They have taken it to the next level. Take a look at this video of a friend I used to go skateboard with when I was in High School. It’s a cool video.

So I use Twitter and overall I like it. It’s cool I post whatever is on my mind at the moment. Sometimes I wonder why I even posted that… but anyways I have created a crosspost script. Update your Twitter status and at the same time update your MySpace status so your, myspace friends can see it.

After updated my mac to the latest version of mac leopard my php installation broke, I guess because Leopard installed Apache2 and I was using Apache1.3 which was what OSX 10.4 came with. So to get PHP5 working with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Do the following:

1. Launch the Terminal its located in applications/utilities

2. In Terminal type: cd /private/etc/apache2

3. Once your in the directory “/private/etc/apache2″, using what ever text editor you like open the file named httpd.conf (if your using textmate text editor, you can do, mate ./httpd.conf)

4. Once you open the httpd.conf file now look for the following line:
“#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so” Once you find it, it’s somewhere around line number 114, uncomment the line So it should look something like this:

LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

5. After doing all that now back in terminal type this command: cd /private/etc/apache2/users

6. Once in that directory open the file with your account username (ex. my file would be named, FernyB.conf)

7. Delete all contents inside the file

8. Start the web server or restart it by going into System Preferences > Web Sharing

9. In Terminal type: open /Library/WebServer/Documents (that should open up finder in that location)

10. Now Create a file called phpinfo.php and place it in /Library/WebServer/Documents

11. Open up phpinfo.php and type the following into phpinfo.php

12. Save and close phpinfo.php13. Now with your favorite web browser safari go to http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php

14. Now you should see the PHP Information page

15. The php.ini file will be located in /etc

16. In the directory /etc you will need to rename or copy and rename the file php.ini.default

17. In the directory /etc should have a file named php.ini

18. Now restart the web server, System Preferences > Web Sharing

19. That’s all.

My copy of Mac OS X Leopard, has shipped, it’s almost home!

Over at facebook secrets have published the main index php source code to facebook. Some how it was released to the wild although it is not confirmed weather this is actual real life code or weather it’s fake. If it is real code there could only be two ways it was released, either the developers secretly released it or it was somehow hacked. I have a feeling it is fake.

So here is a video clip of FOX 11 News’ so called “hacker gangs” report. I found it interesting….
