Today is not my day for electronic devices I guess. A work buddy told me that I could use either iJailbreak or iFuntastic to jailbreak and get intaller.app running on my phone Yay.

I started with iJailbreak. It didn’t work, because the script was trying to call an out of date disk reference, and I am not clever enough to go fix the broken references.

So I did a pristine install to 1.1.1 and tried iFuntastic. This one failed on me as well for some reason. Even though the phone works fine and reports v 1.1.1, iFuntastic thinks I am running 1.0.2 for some reason still, and as such is probably trying to do the wrong thing. Not sure exactly how to fix this one yet either. Some combination of shredding iFuntastic prefs, possibly doing another complete phone restore, and crossing fingers. Maybe iJailbreak will be fixed tomorrow and just work.

Waa. I want my iFlickr back.

I know I have no business bitching about the user experience of the incredibly entrepreneurial, successful, rapid and interative community effort that is making this stuff possible, but in this instance I am a relative consumer, don’t want to be hassled (but still want the benefit, shut up), and am being frustrated in my attempts.

Waa. </waa>
