Back in Kuching

I have finished my exams and back in Kuching!

Yay!

Very little updates from now till the end of the month. Duty calls.

Joke

A preacher wanted to raise money for his church and on being told that there was a fortune in horse racing, decided to purchase one and enter it in the races.

However at the local auction, the going price for horses was so high that he ended up buying a donkey instead. He figured that since he had it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races. To his surprise, the donkey came in third! The next day the local paper carried this headline: PREACHER’S ASS SHOWS

The preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and this time it won. The paper read: PREACHER’S ASS OUT IN FRONT

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the preacher not to enter the donkey in another race. The paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER’S ASS

This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the preacher to get rid of the donkey. The preacher decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The paper headline the next day read: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN

The Bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.00. Next day the headline read: NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR $10.00

The Bishop was buried the next day.

Yeah, I know what you are thinking...WTF right?

Weird

Starting last doesn't mean finishing last

I don't follow horseraces but this particular one caught my attention.



This race was held at the 2009 Breeders' Cup Classic and the horse in focus is Zenyatta, with yellow numbering and her jockey in green.

She stumbled out of the starting gate and was dead last for the better part of the race. But at the finishing straight, she had a burst of speed and became the first female horse to win the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Simply amazing.

Clandestine operation

I don't know what you are trying to do but I seriously hope it backfires on you big time.

How to enable MMS on your iPhone 2G

I got an iPhone 2G 2 days ago after being fed up with other phones. My Sony Ericsson couldn't detect my sim card and a Nokia my aunt gave me busted its charging jack after one week! The iPhone was the most reliable phone I've ever used so I decided to get one. It's not the best phone out there but I love it for its apps and intuitive user interface.

One of the annoying things about the 1st gen iPhone is its inability to send MMS.

Luckily, there's a way to overcome this.

Sinfuliphone has come out with an app to enable users to send MMS with their iPhone 2G.

Let's go through the procedure step by step.

Step 1:

Make sure you have Cydia installed. Here is a tutorial on how to install Cydia.

Step 2:

Add the source http://www.sinfuliphonerepo.com

Step 3:

Download the packages:

Select which packages fit your needs.

Details of the package

If your iPhone has firmware 3.0 or 3.0.1, download ENABLE MMS FOR 2G & 3.0 FW

If your iPhone has firmware 3.1.2, download ENABLE MMS FOR 2G & 3.1.2 FW

Step 4:

After installing the packages, REBOOT your iPhone. This means pressing down on the home and top button until the Apple icon reappears.

Step 5:

Go to Cydia again and check if the package is installed properly.

Yes, it is installed properly

Step 6:

Go to Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network. Scroll down and tap Reset Settings.

Step 7:

You need wifi for this step. On Safari, go to http://www.iphone-notes.de/mobileconfig

For Digi, select custom carrier and enter

Name: digi
APN: digimms
Username: mms
Password: mms

For Maxis

Name: maxis
APN: unet
Username: maxis
Password: wap

For Celcom

Name: celcom
APN: mms.celcom.net.my
Username:
Password:

Fill up the capcha and select download. A menu will come up for confirmation that you want to install these APN settings onto your iPhone. Press confirm and install.

Reboot your iPhone after the install.

Step 8:

Go to Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network and check that all fields are filled up.

If for some reason MMSC and MMS Proxy is not filled up, type in the following values:

Digi:
MMSC: http://mms.digi.com.my/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 203.092.128.160

Maxis:
MMSC: http://172.16.74.100:10021/mmsc
MMS Proxy: 202.75.133.49:80

Celcom
MMSC: http://mms.celcom.net.my
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.242:8080

Step 9:

Now you should have a camera icon next to your message field. Click on that icon to take a photo or add pictures in your MMS! You're done!

Please tell me if something doesn't work for you. I only tried this on Digi but others have been having successes on Maxis and Celcom as well.

Rolls Royce Spirit of Ecstasy

Most of us may be familiar with the Rolls Royce hood ornament, known as the Spirit of Ecstasy. It depicts a lady bend over with flowing robes.

In interesting feature in modern Rolls Royces is that the Spirit of Ecstasy can be retracted with the push of a button. Also, during a collision or when impacted, it will automatically retract into the radiator grille.
