iPhone 3G Unlock
When I mention the code-name yellowsn0w most people will know it’s the latest thing to come out from The Dev Team. They have made a soft unlock for the 3G baseband version 2.11.07 which is present in the 2.1 firmware.
The soft unlock or yellowsn0w as it’s called will be released on New Years Eve. So keep an eye on The Dev Team’s blog.
Belkin Silicone Sleeve
Today I saw some Belkin silicone sleeve’s for the 3G iPhone, so I decided to get them. They came in a pack of two, one pink and one black. This was convenient as Chell has an iPhone too and likes the colour pink.

They are nice and thin, but not too thin and fit the phone’s nicely. They aren’t too chunky nor too “sticky”. It almost feels like there is no skin on them at all. The model of the skin is F8Z354-2A if your interested in looking at them.
You can view more information about the silicone skin over at ctonline.

3G Speed Test
Well my iPhone is on Optus and most people I know or the things I’ve been reading say that Optus’s 3G network is shit. So I decided to do a speed test and here are the results.
Now this was done inside a shopping centre about 12:30pm on a Friday afternoon. Now as the picture shows, the speed isn’t too bad for a network everyone says is shit.

Say NO to Internet Censorship
All of you by now should know that Australia is introducing internet censorship. Now here in Australia we already pay premium rates for the internet compared to other countries, how can they filter out what we browse. I highly disagree with internet censorship, if I’m paying for an internet service, I expect to get that service, not a service that filters out certain content.
If you agree that internet censorship is wrong, please go and sign the petition. Also fill out the details below and tell as many people you can, vote NO on internet censorship.

Some Updates
Well the past week has been all about work, life and the family. Chell and I have both been busy with work and the kids. We took them down The Strand last Friday for dinner and a swim at the Rockpool.
Chell and I both got tattoo’s, hers is 4 butterflies – each one representing one of the kids, it looks great. Mine is my star sign (Pisces) on the inside of my lower arm. We took the kids to the strand last night too for Phoebe’s birthday, they had fun playing with Phoebe and Jayden. Matt got stung by a bee or something but he is alright.
The kids are back at their dads now for another week. We can’t wait to get them back again. Tonight we’re going to go out clubbin’ and chill after a big week. The thing that sucks is that I work the next 5 days, yes all weekend! I will get a good pay though! 
Well that is all for now, another update completed. I hope all is going well wherever your reading this from.
