If you have been looking at news lately you would have noticed that the iPhone 4 loses signal when held in your left hand. It seems if you bridge the little gap on the stainless steel band at the bottom left of the iPhone 4, you lose signal.
You can watch the following YouTube video to see the problem in action.

This post is mainly for my reference but hopefully it may help some of you. I am running CrunchBang Linux 10 which uses Debian Squeeze as a base. I changed my /etc/apt.conf from “squeeze” to “testing”.
This is how I got my iPhone 3G to sync in Debian.
Step 1 – Install needed packages.
apt-get build-dep libgpod gtkpod ifuse
apt-get install git libsqlite3-dev checkinstall
Step 2 – Install packages from Sid / Unstable.
libimobiledevice
libimobiledevice1
libplist1

libusbmuxd-dev
libusbmuxd1
usbmuxd
sudo dpkg -i usbmuxd*.deb lib*.deb

New house, newborn, new start

We have been living in our new home for 3 weeks now and it has been great. We have 4 bedrooms upstairs, one bedroom downstairs, a large entertainment area, bar and a pool.
We’ve been swimming a couple times (it’s getting a bit cool) and have had a lot of fun. The house really is inviting and has such a great feel to it, I am really happy we moved into it.
I have also put together the cot, pram, swing set and Chell and I have pretty much setup the nursery for the little one that we are expecting soon. It’s so exciting!
Almost everything is unpacked (there is still some stuff in the garage) but everything we need is setup. I’m definately looking forward to living in this home for a long time.

Nearly all of you that read this would have seen TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes and other TV series. Some shows you will find the actors walking through the snow or along a street down town.
What you don’t see though is the blue/green screens behind them. This amazing video shows some behind the scenes / post production editing which is simply amazing.
