Okay so I’ve finally fixed my iPhone. Thanks to jailbreakme.com, I was able to untethered jailbreak my phone.

- Updated iTunes to latest version: iTunes 9.2.1.5 for Windows and Mac
- Downloaded iOS 4.0.1: iPhone 3GS firmware

So how is this related to A&W Rootbeer? After all that restoring and jailbreaking, I went to Culinaris to get me an A&W Rootbeer. hehe!

Okay so my iPhone 3GS crashed on me while we were in Pécs, Hungary. And I was on tethered jailbreak with Blackra1n because it had the latest bootrom. This meant I needed my laptop to power up my iPhone. To make it short, my iPhone was useless to take the photo of the day so I had to use my Canon 450D.

This was taken at the residence of Peter’s grandparents at Hidas, Hungary. It’s near Pécs, Hungary. It’s a very beautiful home. You could sit at the porch or at the swing all day!

Oh yeah, the homemade food was delicious! Peter’s grandparents cooked the best Hungarian dishes. Peter’s cousin also gave each of us free homemade red wines.

Thanks to Peter and Móni for showing Gan and me the beauty of the countryside of Hungary. We met some of Peter’s relatives. We stopped to play in the fields with the rolled straws (szalmabála). It was a memorable road trip.

On our road trip to Pécs, we found a geocache. Fortunately, before my iPhone crashed, we were able to find the correct coordinates. Gan again was very good in finding the cache.

Pécs is another city in Hungary. It’s currently the European Capital of Culture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Capital_of_Culture. It is not as big as Budapest but I could say it is beautiful.

I ordered Xtreamer Sidewinder last Monday July 26, 2010 and today, Friday July 30, 2010, I received it. It came from UK. I’m impressed with Royal Mail.

What is Xtreamer?
- Basically, Xtreamer is a media player. You connect it to your TV or projector to watch movies, listen to music, and browse the internet.

What makes it so special than other media players?
- The form factor is one reason
- The other reason is that is plays all known video codecs
- Customizable streams from the internet
- Fits SATA internal HDD
- Factory-fitted XSC heatsink for silent operation
- LAN or WiFi connectivity
- Best of all, customizable firmware
