But, I have decided to jailbreak it — which, by the way, is pretty easy to do.

The main reason for jailbreaking the iPhone, is because you can’t send a text message to multiple people, which in my opinion, is a really big oversight by Apple. Other than this small problem, the iPhone is pretty perfect… or, I thought it was pretty perfect.

Since jailbreaking, I have re-fallen in love with this gadget. It’s incredibly powerful, and now does all of the things I wish it could do from the off.

• Rule number one when buying the iPhone. Jailbreak!
• Rule number two: buy some decent headphones. I just bought the V-moda ‘phones, and they’re really, really good. 

Recently, however, I have been struggling to get Ruby on Rails working on their domains. I have been fighting an uphill battle and losing, until I worked out the Shebang! line in dispatch.fcgi…

#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

This will magically get your RoR application working.

The full dispatch.fcgi file is below:

#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8
#
# You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log (a log of unhandled
# exceptions which forced the FastCGI instance to exit, great for debugging)
# and the number of requests to process before running garbage collection.
#
# By default, the FastCGI crash log is RAILS_ROOT/log/fastcgi.crash.log
# and the GC period is nil (turned off).  A reasonable number of requests
# could range from 10-100 depending on the memory footprint of your app.
#
# Example:
#   # Default log path, normal GC behavior.
#   RailsFCGIHandler.process!
#
#   # Default log path, 50 requests between GC.
#   RailsFCGIHandler.process! nil, 50
#
#   # Custom log path, normal GC behavior.
#   RailsFCGIHandler.process! '/var/log/myapp_fcgi_crash.log'
#
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment"
require 'fcgi_handler'

RailsFCGIHandler.process!

The MacBook Pro that Vuture bought me is incredible. The whole machine flies (not literally, obviously) and running Windows in real-time alongside OS X is such a boon.

If you have the money, I would definitely recommend that you buy one of these beasts.

Thank you Vuture!

The page views are stunning, the FTP integration and large Publish All button works incredibly well.

While the text editor isn’t as powerful as Textmate, and the CSS editor isn’t as flexible as CSSEdit2, the overall synergy of this tool is fantastic.

The photos I have taken with it will appear on flickr tomorrow at some point, but taking photos on a beautiful camera that come out so nicely lomographied is a strange but great experience.

Here’s a sample photo, taken on my first day with the camera, to show off how good the lens is:

First impressions of this mouse are very positive. It feels nice in the hand, looks the part, and has enough flashing lights and buttons to keep everybody happy. It’s really smooth and precise (the lazer helps with this) and started to work straight away.

So far, it’s better than the IntelliMouse Explorer, and probably will overtake the bluetooth Mighty Mouse as my mouse of choice.

Honestly, I’m not complaining; I’m used to late nights, and she really deserves to go out (good A-levels = University of Surrey, Maths and Business), but why does she have to do it on a work night?
