Jail Break-Should I (I have)
I have heard several talk show host advising there callers not to Jail Break there iPhone and I disagree with that comment. Apple says if you Jail Break your phone then the warranty is VOID….well I think that’s Bullshit! All we are doing is unlocking the software and modifying it so we can use it appropriately. Whats appropriate…using it in manner that allows us to be most effective in our day to day activities. AT&T does not allow me to tether my Internet connection to my laptop from my iPhone, well Saurik does (Cydia founder), Apple does not offer a video camera on the iPhone 3G, I could go on all day with this! Thanks to Jay Freeman and the app creators in the Cydia store I can use my iPhone like most people have been using there Smart Phones for years. So if apple wants me to quit using rouge hacks to improve there equipment then they should so I don’t!

Remember if you need to return your iPhone for any warranty issues and you have Jail Broken it restore it back to the factory default.

I have created a few web based Flash albums with family photos.
TiltViewer-
Very Nice Album, but does require a little patience and a mild understanding of HTML. Wth that being said, the WOW factor is pretty high when you are complete with the album. There are a few diferent choices in the program that allows you to choose where your photo content comes from, Flickr Gallery, XML Gallery (manual), Picasa, Photshop (CS3 or higher) I chose the easiest one, “Flickr” of course! When using the flickr option you should be able to have an album online in just minutes, asuming you have an existing flickr gallery. All you will need is the free version of TiltViewer and all your flickr info to plug into the HTML I have have there instruction below with a couple of steps that I have added that they do not post, I guess they assume everyone is an expert in HTML or enjoys spending there time reading through the random FAQ forums!
To create a Flickr gallery, follow these steps:
- Download and unzip TiltViewer files to a new folder. This is your gallery folder.
- Edit ‘index.html’ in your gallery folder using any text editor. Set the ‘useFlickr’ option to true:
fo.addVariable("useFlickr", "true");
- Enter your Flickr user id in the ‘user_id’ option. To find your Flickr user id, enter your Flickr user name on this page. For example to load all images from user ‘48508968@N00′:
fo.addVariable("user_id", "48508968@N00");
- To show a subset of your Flickr images, use tags. Add a new tag to all the images you want to show in Flickr. You can define your Flickr image tags here. Now use this tag in the ‘tags’ option. For example, to load all images with tag ’showcase’:
fo.addVariable("tags", "showcase");
- Set additional configuration options (optional).
- ok all the flickr code is commented out, because all the flicker code is commented out. The // at the beginning of each line tells the code to ignore that line. So you need to remove the // from the following.
- //fo.addVariable(”user_id”, “*********”);
//fo.addVariable(”tags”, “HDR”);
//fo.addVariable(”tag_mode”, “any”);
//fo.addVariable(”showTakenByText”, “true”);
You should be set and ready to go!
Here are some links to a couple of my albums
Baseball pics on a standard viewer (will post a tutorial soon)
Family pics using TiltViewer (needs work)
Hope this helps…
