Obviously have to have a jailbroken phone to do it, but with QuickPwn it's a breeze.  Now you can listen to Pandora while you surf the web or check your email just like you can with the iPod app.  Or stay signed into chat while you go look up a contact.  Now if only they'd fix copy and paste, attaching images to emails, text selection, etc.

I also just found IMPlus, which is a multiprotocol IM client for iPhone. It can't work in the background, of course, but it seems pretty nice. Only used it a couple times do far, but no compaints so far.

Lastly, I'm getting the hang of typing a little better. One very interesting facet of this is that I simply cannot type upside-down. I'm pretty much always in bed before Heather, so I usually end checking my email and/or Twitter (or blogging ;)) while I wait. But try as I might, I cannot lie on my back to do it. I have to flip over, prop myself up on my elbows, and type that way. The weight of my hand is inverted on my back, so I miss everything. Not very fun.

Ok, so it wasn't "lastly". This time it is, though. Lastly, I had a whirlwind weekend of reading. Finished "Skinny Legs and All" Friday evening, read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on Saturday, and the "Ender's Game" on Sunday and Monday. More surprising is that it was the first time for all three, not just the first one. SLaA and EG definitely blew the pants off THGttG, though I've not decided which was better between them. Very different, and both very good in their own ways, though I thought both kind of copped out on the ending a bit.

So how do you do it?

Just tap the page label. The one with the message count. It updates, and reloads the massage list if needed.

I've been using MobileTerminal as my terminal client and it's pretty slick. Not a replacement for a real computer, but definitely sufficient for a quick little code tweak here and there, or some database tuning.

With my laptop (which is a Windows) machine, I've completely failed to get on the wi-fi, instead resorting to an Ethernet cable to a spare jack. Seems silly. So props to Apple for getting this dead on.

On the typing front, I've decided that the one finger approach is way faster than trying to use my thumbs. The phone just moves around too much when I use my thumbs, so I miss a lot. I can't hit the keys quite as fast with one finger, but it's WAY more accurate.
