Well, I've recently had my Internet connection upgraded to 24 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream from 3 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. I love it. Can you see a 3X speed increase in the blog's loading time? No? It's the stupid slow server's fault. That will soon be remedied, however, because I almost have sufficient funds to upgrade the server. We so excited. ;D

P.S. Follow me on Twitter—I post there when what I'm posting is too short to justify a blog post. If you already are following me, you know about my fancy new old 60 Hz analog oscilloscope.

Yesterday, while dropping off my broken dishwasher at my local appliance outlet to be disposed of (the 10-year-old one broke and I was getting a new one there), I noticed an old RPTV next to all the old junk. Score! After getting permission, I brought it home, took out the useful bits (the fresnel lens, the three RGB lens assemblies, the giant mirror, two 10W speakers) and took the rest back to the appliance place. Here are some pictures of my little adventure:

I recently discovered that the Dolphin emulator is a lot better than what it was back in the day. Now, it can play Wii games better than the Wii itself!

Over the weekend, I played 8-9 hours of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Only the UI was in HD, though—the 3D-rendering looked like it was only at 480p with no AA or AF. Super Smash Bros. Brawl worked fine at 1080p and actually rendered in HD.

Well, the 2.7 Beta of WordPress for iOS fixes a major problem I had with v2.6.6. How? Before, the app kept giving me grief over my self-signed SSL certificate. Today, I decided to install the beta by checking out the SVN trunk and compiling the app for my iPhone (and then self-signing that and installing it on my jailbroken device). FYI, this post was written in the now-usable WordPress for iOS app on my iPhone 4.

Expect the number of posts (and the number of posts with pictures) to increase dramatically. Hey, maybe I'll be able to surpass the number of posts MakerBlock averages monthly (if I ever upgrade my server)!

I love my new Verizon iPhone 4! It's so much faster than the 1st gen iPod touch! The extra RAM helps in addition to the 2.5X boost in CPU clock speed.

I also enjoy unlimited data ;D

So many features...

P.S.: I got it on the 7th.

A few months ago, I bough a Noctua NH-D14 heatsink for my i7 computer. It's HUGE, but awesome. Here are some pics of the unboxing.

UPDATE November 6, 2011: This guide is now obsolete. There is now an official, working DSDT you can get from tonymacx86.com. All you have to do is follow this guide and use the new DSDT (make sure you're on the latest BIOS, 1304). I have successfully followed that guide for my Sabertooth X58 with i7-950, 12 GB 1600 MHz RAM, AMD Radeon HD 5850, and 1304 BIOS. I will be keeping the guide posted here because I spent a lot of time making it and I don't just want to delete it and break a bunch of links. Also, it brings a bunch of traffic to the site. ;)

Note: Make sure you only have 2GB of RAM installed when you install OS X. After OS X is installed, you can put your RAM back.

Note 2: When I set this up, my BIOS was 0602.

1. Buy a Mac OS X Install Disk.
2. Get iBoot & MultiBeast
3. Get the DSDT.aml file. You need to be logged in to the tonymacx86 forums to do that. It's at the bottom of the linked post.
4. Boot the computer using iBoot.
5. Once iBoot is booted, eject the disk and insert the OS X disk, then press F5.
6. Select the Install disk.
7. The installer will run. Click Utilities->Disk Utility and format your HDD to Mac Journaled FS. Make sure to click options and set it to GPT.
8. Once that's done, quit Disk Utility and resume installation.
9. Finish the installation.
10. Reboot, again booting with iBoot.
11. This time, select your new OS X HDD.
12. It will boot.
13. Put the DSDT.aml file on the desktop.
14. Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update, but DO NOT REBOOT.
15. Use MultiBeast with these settings on your OS X HDD:
16. Remove the iBoot disk and reboot, this time booting from the OS X HDD.
17. Success!

I...

• Started using Skeinforge 35 (with issues)
• Fixed a 17" Dell LCD
• Played TF2

Correction:
I also made the Whistlehookopener. (Thanks, MakerBlock, I almost forgot!)

I updated the files to what I'm using now. You can use the same link to the modified files as in the previous post. For the updated files.

If these files don't work, you can always use the ones made by other people. There are a few more DSDT's for this board floating around now.

I extract the DSDT data from the latest Sabertooth X58 BIOS. You're welcome. For the unmodified files. For the modified files.
