Unlock your iPhone for free

After reading this article http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/iunlock-released-the-first-free-open-source-iphone-sim-unlock/, I am one step closer into changing my mind about getting an iPhone. Yes, I blogged about the reasons why I wouldn’t get one, but if I’m able to use it on T-Mobile’s network, I may change my mind about it. Still part of me says to wait for the…

Kanye West Kicks?

I still haven’t had a chance to get the new Kanye West album, Graduation. I’ll probably go and buy it on my lunch break. But anyway, I was browsing the internet and saw these… The top pair are from Bape (Bathing Ape) and the bottom are custom Air Max 180. I don’t know about the…

Vonage introduced new unlimited international plans as an additional to the existing unlimited US calls plan ($24.99/month). They have the Basic, Enhanced, Europe, Asia, and Mexico & Latin America plans. You can check out the different plans at http://www.vonage.com/lp/US/world. But why isn’t Philippines listed?

New iPod Touch

I knew this was coming. It’s an iPhone without the AT&T service. I’m so tempted to get me and Abby one. This will replace her dusty, new Palm T|X. My biggest gripe is the 16GB max capacity. Since it’s using flash memory, I guess that’s the largest at this time. Flash memory is the reason…

How to convert MSSQL date format to MySQL

I recently had to transfer over some databases from MSSQL Server 2000 to MySQL. Unfortunately, the date format that MSSQL keeps is MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS am/pm. MySQL uses YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (24hour format). For example, 8/14/2007 5:00:00 PM (MSSQL format) and 2007-08-14 17:00:00 (MySQL format). In MySQL, we can use the date_format(). But what is the equivalent…

New toys from Apple

Today Apple held a conference at their Northern California headquarters. As expected, they unveiled the redesigned iMacs and keyboards. They also released the new versions of iWork 08 and iLife 08. I’m really excited to see the new features iLife has to offer. I’m trying to download the video now. It’s over 20 minutes. A…

I got my MBP back

This is the process I went through when I dealt with Apple and repairs on my Macbook Pro. Here’s the timeline: July 15th: Went to an Apple store and had a genius look at it. He created a ticket and suggested to ship the laptop to the repair center. July 17th: Box to send the…
