Well. Last last night just before i was about to go to bed, I was finishing up on my com when I noticed, (or rather, iTunes noticed) a new firmware update for my iPhone. I thought oh hey, why not, and clicked yes without thinking. So I spent the next probably half an hour awake and with a fucked over iPhone when I could have been sleeping (with a functional iPhone). Sigh.

I stayed up for it to install, and it seems that at the last part it says there was a problem in installing the software. My iPhone was stuck at a picture of the iTunes logo and a usb cable. Plug in and out, nothing. I shut it off and on. Same picture. Oh yay fuck. I connected it to iTunes and WHEEEEE iPhone is in recovery mode. From what? OFFICIAL APPLE FIRMWARE UPDATE. Fuckin' A.

So I gotta wait till Ben takes a look at it on Tues, and maybe he can fix it without me having to restore my iPhone thanks to some dumb mistake by Apple. BTW it's a MINOR update involving some bug fixes and the battery meter readout. AND IT TURNED MY IPHONE INTO A $700 PAPERWEIGHT. Granted it looks pretty and lights up with the iTunes logo, but apart for that it does jack shit. I think I might be able to use it as a door stop.

Also, because I switched phones, I woke up late cos I forgot to set the alarm. I decided to cab down to Seletar. As I stuck out my hand for the cab, a girl walked to the stretch of road in front of me and stuck out hers too. =.= WTH. Thank goodness he stopped for me instead cos I flagged him first. Lucky for this. I talked to him throughout the whole journey, and I think he was grateful for that too, cos he gave me $4 change for my $10 note. It was a $7 ride. Very nice guy. It was a SHC6789[something] Silver Cab.

So, will Apple reimburse me in $6 worth of apps from the app store? =.= Went for my FFI, had breakfast (finally) and came home. Because I was woken up so abruptly today, i think I might go sleep now, wake up at 530 for a run and then go down to orchard sans iPhone =.= to meet some of my army friends. ROAR. DAMMIT.
