Last week I got my LPC-P2148 ARM7 micro-controller. It’s a pretty nice development board with two serial ports, usb device controller, sd/mmc card slot, AD and DA converters and some other useful stuff.

Yesterday evening I updated to 1.1.3 (with restore over iTunes). After that I used this new tool to activate and jailbreak my iPhone.

1. Boot Windows XP (The mac version doesn’t work)
2. Install iTunes 7.4.2

4. Execute somthing like ziphone.exe -j -a (i have bootloader 3.9, so unlock (-u) won’t work)
5. Folow the instructions on the screen
6. Use anySim (1.3 for firmware 1.1.3) in Airplane Mode!. Skip that if you have unlocked it already in step 4
7. Enjoy your new 1.1.3 iPhone

So now lets start arrange your icons however you want and locate yourself! In e few day’s I will write about my experience with 1.1.3.

Each time when i plug-in any of my external hard disks spotlight starts to index them. I hate it!. Now i found a way to stop that. Just execute the following command in your terminal:
