I love the iphone dev team....they do an excellent jobensuring that we get the best out of our iphones....which really are in their own right,m incredible devices. However, i found their posting on jailbraking the newest firmware very confusing. so i have waited till i was trusting of myself and the proper technique to execute the inevitable. welllll...i found this link today -

http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/11/jailbreak-unlock-iphone-3g-3gs-3-1-2-with-blackra1n/

vinay ji really explains it well. and it REALLY is very simple. i plugged my phone into the usb with the updated software, hit the make it rain button and was done. in just a couple minutes. i did not have to hold any buttons down, or anything else. and since i use an official carier, i don't need the further unlock. i just want to add the cydia apps n customize it and whatnot. so now im free to do this again!



and geohot rocks. you can find the amazing software here -

he even refused prize money for his efforts. he is now probably public enemy number 1 of apple for the moment, but he's won the hearts of all of us who want to free our phones. rock on, geo and thanks from nirmal!

Foamy the squirrel tells it like it is about social networks.




i can;t stand (american) football but i thought this was cool. i'd rather see the mascots than the game itself.

EPS OF DARIA ONLINE! daria rocked.....she reminds me alot of my besty grey bard. i used tro love this show.

http://tv.blinkx.com/show/daria/g1Dn_FQRvUmy9F9G

And, here's a peak into my more stupid days...*shameless moment time* and i confess...i *still* love this show. You'll either think i'm a hypocrate or completely screwy, or both...but i do. it was so stupid, and despite the vulgarity...i dunno...it had a charm. i remember having to sneak off to see it because either no one would allow me to watch it, or they'd refuse to see it with me. plus, i was not one of the special people to be able to afford my own tv with or without cable in my room. (i wasn;t one of those spoilt chidlren. i came from an different era.) i'm sure i wasn't alone!

http://tv.blinkx.com/show/beavis-and-butt-head/DlSPnIwcQ80AY7ZC

this show used to come on after beavis and butthead. it was strange but kinda interesting.

tv.blinkx.com/show/the-tick/Kfr7vyEm5y9Fe4kc


seriously, fuck all these social networks......i would love to see them all phase out......like geocities did (but geocities, of course, was cool. it wasn't a social network, it was the coolest of the free website places. i loved geocities!), and internet tv take its place, as long as it doesn't get ruined by asshole attention whores in their many varieties, such as what so often infests youtube and other similar sites. free speech is great, but it does need a certain amount of control and guidance to keep it great, otherwise, it's just a free for all, and you have to fight the absolute shit to find the cool.

these guys are cool. someone sent me the link to their song 'supergirl'.

also interesting ( reverting back to previously posted my dark shadows post for a moment)


However in the summer of 1967 production was stopped for a couple weeks to convert to color. Starting with episode #295 Dark Shadows was in color. Some have also mentioned that the show seemed spookier in B&W. While people may have their own opinion on the subject, TV networks did seem to go overboard with the use of color when it was first available, which probably plays into that LSD-Technicolor-Rainbow feel that 1960's always seems to evoke.

"Why are some episodes still in black & white?". Dark Shadows was originally recorded on video tape. In the mid-1960's video tape was still a very new and expensive technology. Some ABC affiliate stations did not have the capability to play video tape, so ABC also made B&W Kinescope copies of Dark Shadows episodes so they could be aired in the event that an affiliate could not directly air the original ABC feed from video tape. After the color episodes have started the b&w episodes you are seeing are actually kinescope copies, this is because the original video tape master copies are missing. In fact there are many missing and damaged episodes and all that is left are kinescope copies in Black & White (many of the original B&W video tape episodes are also missing however it is less noticable when subistituted with B&W Kinescope copies). ABC stopped making kinescope copies of DS in 1970 and there is actually 1 episode near the end of the series which is completely missing, however a poor quality audio soundtrack exists which Sci-Fi plays over still images of the characters along with some additional narration by Lara Parker.



OMG...I LOVE online TV - here...here is the original series, soyou can also watch this great show...and i can FINALLY after 50 gagiziliion years see this anytime i damn please without shelling out a few thou for all the dvds...not that i won't do it anyway one day -

Clocky, the cocky alarm clock

I *HAD* to post this...

These things are just so funny, i have to get one....just to set it off an watch if freak out the cats.

"The patented alarm clock that runs away and hides to get you out of bed. Clocky gives you one chance to get up. But if you snooze, Clocky will jump off your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide, beeping all the while. You'll have to get out of bed to silence his alarm. Clocky is kind of like a misbehaving pet, only he will get up at the right time."

dark shadows and the beatles
sikh bhangra punjab india
[info]nirmalmanvinder
http://chikteihasman.blogspot.com/2009/10/dark-shadows-and-beatles.html



did nirmal singh ever like firangis? honestly? yes, and i still do...depending on who they are. when i was young, i loved dark shadows. dark shadows is a gothic sopa opera, and the only one i could stand. i used to run home from wherver i was just so id not miss an episode. i had baranas's face next to my bed very promintly, i wore my shirts and listen to my dark shadows album with much pride. also, the beatles...george harrison was my idea of male perfection, and before him was jonatahn frid who played barnabas on dark shadows. i still have about 30 beatle shirts, when my memory was better knew alot of trivia and could memorize a good bit of lyrics. ( i was able to finally aquire a jonathan frid doll. get yours here -

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/417mjQvzgIL._SL500_AA280_.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.amazon.com/Shadows-Barnabas-Collins-Action-Figure/dp/B000U5HZ5S&usg=__WjhbwCOvo4fLci15HbrDId5mDto=&h=280&w=280&sz=10&hl=en&start=17&sig2=FOEKylADE1_xVCXQSAe-jA&um=1&tbnid=syZFXg-9lFdskM:&tbnh=114&tbnw=114&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbarnabas%2Bcollins%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26um%3D1&ei=pg7QSqvNNM6rlAfN4LGpCg

he hangs out with jimmy stweart and my bollywood crew.) also, i loved many actors from the 60's and 70's, as well as many singers, who i will mention from time to time. graham nash, cat stevens, al stewart, gordon lightfoot, randy mantooth, vincent price, ray bolger, edward mulhare and many others are cherished pieces in my life's cherished time capsule.


In some ways it seems so long ago since i first began enjoying dark shadows. like many, i loved barnabas. he held an enigma. he was very old fashioned, gentlemanly, and mature. the entire show itself had an enigma. It was fantasy, yet, it was realistic too. As much as it was said to be corny, it didn't seem so. it seemed more realistic, save the moments of witchcraft, ghosts, vampires, etc. it made me interested in history. i had a huge poster of barnabas. my parents would sometimes get upset because of my devotion. hahah... ah those were the innocent days.

then come the beatles.......the music that spoke to me in so many ways. their musdic helped me find a path, helped me express myself. they were a comfort when i needed it, when no one else seemed to fill the need. their music helped me actually choose better things....especially george's solo work. it laid the groundwork for who id later become. even with dark shadows, i wanted the grace and innonce of many of the girls on the show.


*0.o* Shameless Birthday Post! *o.0*

Start the music, yaar...



(you can go here for more stuff - http://hindisongss.blogspot.com/2009/04/hindi-movies-list.html )

Ok, so as you may have guessed....it is my Birthday today (30th Novemeber.). And being the case, I am entitled to one shameless birthday post a year. So here it is. Since my physical partying is being curtailed, this is the virtual version. And for my XXXXXXth birthday because I turn XXXXXX years older today, i'm gifting myself this (YES, THAT DOES MEAN THAT ALL OF THEM ARE MINE.)

(which reminds me, i hope mr. kitten wishes me happy bday or his muccha n dhari r getting 0wn3d.)








Damnnnnn....almost makes cake pale in comparison...*almost*.......

and here are the birthday treats....













Here's the recipe for that sherbet -

The recipe calls for Granny Smith apples. The process is to cook them in the sparkling cider and a small amount of sugar, leaving the skins on for more flavor. Then the apples are pressed through a food mill, leaving their skins behind. A small amount of lemon juice is added. That mixutre goes into the fridge to cool, then is churned in the ice cream maker.
GREEEN APPLE AND SPARKLING CIDER SORBET Makes about 3 cups

4 Granny Smith or green pippin apples
2 cups sparkling dry apple cider
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or to taste

Quarter the apples and remove the cores and seeds. Cut the unpeeled apples into 1" chunks.

Combine the cider, sugar, and water and bring to a boil in a medium, nonreactive saucepan. Add the apples, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer the apple chunks for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the apples steep until the mixture is room temperature. (**NOTE: I cooked my apples closer to a 1/2 hour, as I don't have a food mill and I pushed them through a sieve and I needed the apples to be soft to be able to do that.)

Pass the apples and their liquid through a food mill fitted with a fine disk, or use a course-mesh strainer and press firmly on the apples to extract their pulp and all the liquid into a container. Discard the apple peels. Add the lemon juice. Taste and add more if you wish, since sparkling ciders can vary in sweetness. (NOTE: the mixture comes out yellow, not green, so I added a couple of drops of green food coloring to make a very faint green color.)

Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

and now the laughs...

[info]nirmalmanvinder
http://chikteihasman.blogspot.com/2009/11/holy-shit-number-46573.html




Ok. catching you up...this is a sequel to THIS -

http://chikteihasman.blogspot.com/2009/11/always-stuck-in-shit.html

After having a crush on a drug dealer who is trying to blackmail me for rides into town, and her roomie trying to help encourage her, she claims that her roommate n another lady who hangs out in their room are pissed at me because i've gone on hiatus for bit. first off, i have enough shit. i'm backing off, because i do not need more of THIS in my life. plus, i was um...under the weather....with concerns of the painful which some folks are lucky enough not to have to deal with. Anyway.....

now mum wants me to 'get to know' the one lady's daughter who is around my age chronoligicsally. however, the lady ad her daughter do pot together, and god only knows what other lovely influences this girl poses on society. she's friendly, so ill be friendly...bjt getting to close will wreck several decades of trying to make myself into a reasonable human being. Plus i still have THAT mess with HER and the drug dealer yet. this is really turning out like some bad movie. ho-boy.



thankfully, i'm smart enough to prefer company such as my besty grey bard who is more mature and i can trust her. i hung out with a few hours with a daughter of my mother's friends a few years back and was mortified. she went to the mall dresed like a slutty cow, and proceeded to a leather shop where she announced out loud, leather makes me horny. real class. she then went on to flirt with others, and it got worse from there. this was one of those things u wish was a dream when u are so drunk you swear you'll quit after u get over the hangover, and you do quit..hoever you realise that A) it's not a dream, and B) you don't drink alchohol in the first place! it's making me homesick for mr. catface n my auntie and uncles so fast....

i've had sumthing similar to what is on the left in this pic. i have powdered jamaica (hibiscus flower tea) drink. i got it in powdered form. it was pretty good. the horchata, i must confess was also good. i'm sure the packaged stuff doesn't have the same gusto as the fresh stuff, but it wass good. it's creamy, with a hint of rice, and mine had mango flavour, though i didn't really notice this. it also had nice mild cinnamon notes. it's worth a try.

OMG! Look how friggin' adorable these things arrrree! the other day i came home and was unlocking the door when i found a woolly bear on the porch. thar was much more welcome than the spider i found last month. that was one of those huge ass suckers that look like mini turantulas n make these big ass honkin' nests in summer and early fall. the woolly bears become an isabella moth.....a big fuzzy headed sweet velvety winged pretty things!

http://chikteihasman.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-lurv-ny-lol.html



Like most of my best. most cherished relationships, mine with new york started out like a troubled labour. i knew my father was born there. but i was apprehensive (to say the least) to visit because of what i'd heard. then, my besty grey bard persuaded me to go with her. a few times. well....the first time was enough for me. i fell in love with it.....before i had met mr. kitten. some of my best times were had there. i can't wait to be a full time resident. my permanent address is a NY adress now, but im still in limbo between there and taking care of my mum. one thing i am very happy is i like a place that is not hesitant to take good care of you. they sent me my medical cards and informed me that i will be getting some food stamp benifits and such. it took only a couple weeks. i have been waiting for several years for the same stuff from pennsylvania which never came. don't get me wrong, i love the small town plenty of country air stuff type atmosphere, but i'm not too happy with their slackery in care. and ny says nirmal singh all over it. even some of my favourite fuzonb, junoon and jal songs remind me of NY at night which is one of the most incredible things to experience. even in the rain! i have a love hate relationship (mostly hate) with the west, but this does make the relationship a bit nicer. there are so many things locked into my head and heart that drive me back. my half punjabi grandad was born in pennsylvania, as was most of my other family. it makes me wonder what it was like for him. i was thinking back to stories that he and others told of his father being very abusive, beating him with chains and such. it makes me wonder what kind of person his father really was. and i seem to be really going off the track now, so i'd better cut for now. hahahha!

(basically the backstory is that she's had a crush on another patient whos nice to us and sometimes denies that she wants romantic persuances, soemtimes admits it. this has caused some fights.) it's only gotten more complex (which seems like the case always in my life). he asked me several times to take him into town. i refuse to because it's against policy for non family or previously approved friends to take anyone anywhere, and he is very moody and unpredictable. my mother agrees with me not taking him anywhere. however, he has apparently told my mums roommate that if i don't take him anywhere he will try to have romantic relations with my mother. now, he had told me last week he had no wish to be anything other than friends with my mother and had been put off by the letters she kept writing and having everyone, including me, try to give him. also, another patient had told him she had smoked some pot when she was on a visit with her daughter (they smoked it together on a home visit.) and he asked her to give him some and he'd pay her. my mother is a little skeptical, but still enamoured with him. and i dont know if some of these things were concocted by the roomate, or by him, or by a combo of the two, or what. but i don't like being dragged into this, and i don;t lije where it's leading. i again had to threaten my mother that as much as i love her, if she DID decide to get into a romantic relationship, i'm even starting to worry about simnple friendships now - that she'd be wandering down danger street and could very easily pull me and other family into it. i can;t have this, so if she can't make a mature responsible decision then i will have to disown her and cut contact for the good of all. she's like a perennial troubled teenager.


Movie review: whats your rashee

before i start this thing, i gotta confess - i have watched far more current desi movies this year alone than i have current english language films. this is because simply put - though there is an ever increasing amount of PURE SCHLOCK in the desi films realm, but nothing compared to the west. there's still much to see yet. i used to laugh when my family told me theres so much shitty desi films and they dont watch them anymore because its all the same and all shit. oddly i say the same about much western stuff myself. and i can agree that there are many desi films whose best bet would have been an abortion before they went beyond imagination stage, but there's still alot of good fun still.

this is another one of those fun movies.

it seemed rather long, but very enjoyable. the plot was clever. priyanka was very talented in her portrayal of the various women, each very different, and surprisingly believable as a child! the song sequences were quirky - in a good way - and iteresting. i highly reccommend it. (and not that i noticed, but there was a sardar in one scene for a couple seconds.)

If you only had one day left to live, and you had the chance to tell one person from your past "I love you," who would it be? How about "I'm sorry"?

To say i love you - my father and my maternal grandmother. because apparently i had told them i didnt love them when i was a very young child and didn't know what i was saying. in truth i loved them very mucb, even though my father almsot had an affair and betrayed my family.

as for sorry, either the above, or to my beloved paternal half punjab grandfather who was my world. i was not allowed to go to hospital to see him when he died. i had hoped that he would have had more will to live if id been able to be with him. or perhaps saying sorry to my peternal grandmother for not being able to save her from my cousins con artist actions. at any rate, saying in either sorry or i love you in words means nothing. its only genuine in action. abyone can say or pretend something, but action is true judge only.

Writer's Block: Yes, offense taken

If a friend or relative makes a racist or homophobic remark, do you tend to confront them or let it slide? Are you more likely to confront them if it offends you directly or someone else who seems reluctant to speak up?

well those who know me best...or even who reasd my blog enough know im loud and not afraid to tell it like it is. so, when it comes to racist remarks said without good reason, or when people call ME racist without understanding why i say sumthing then i definately speak out about it. i feel that racist remarks have no place being said unless for a vcery good reason, in which case they wouldn't really be a racist remark...they'd be as bvit of guidance for a certain person or people. it's then left to them to decide on.


as for homophibic remarks.....those im right and ready to jump at. i am noyt gay or lesbian but my best friend is, and i see gay and lesbian people as equal. they are not genetically wrong or imperfect, they do not have mental issues connected to their sexuality, and i don't give a flip about what people claim is in the bible or whatever. God, vaheguru as we sikhs call it, put all kinds of people on earth for a purpose. as long as they live with respect for one another and don't do things that are univcersally immoral, then they have equal right to equal respect abd a good life as anyone else regardless of sex or culture. its ironic that most often the straight people are the ones to accuse others, just as those who are doing something wrong (such as exploitation) to other races are the ones who point fingers first. sexuality means nothing to me. my gay best friend is one the top most moral filled respectful people you could meet. i learn much from her, and she has helped me keep stability in my very unstable life. she is part if my life in many ways and they are not sexual. she has even helped me strengthen my relationship with my mr. cat face by helping me learn more abut my culture, and has given me advice when i needed it, guidance when i needed it in many arenas of my life. shes been a pivotal role model when i needed it most. as long as she doesnt do anything that hurts others or whatever, why should i care if she likes boys or girls? furthermore, we know each other that i can probably trust her judgements more than she can mine, and she is always open to help me when im about to do sumthing stupid. to base on sexuality is ignorance at such a deep level.

Writer's Block: Forgive and forget?

Do you tend to forgive and forget or hold grudges? What is the longest you've ever stayed angry with someone? Is there anything the other person could say or do to win back your friendship and trust?

simply put, it depends on the severity of their actions. there are some things i just cannot accept or condone....severe immoral acts.
