Miss-adventures of a broke girl

Me and my iPod!

2012-05-02T10:58:00.000-07:00

I bought an iPod Touch 4G 32GB about 2 years ago, around the same time it was actually released on the market. Needless to say, I never let that thing out of my site. At one point however, I finally decided it was time for me to get a real cellphone, as I was previously using my ipod as my phone. Around the time of me purchasing my phone, I stopped being connected to my iPod. I forgot the passcode on it and then when it came time for me to use it again, I was SOL. There is no way possible, and I have done my research over and over and over to get into an ipod once you have forgotten the passcode. Last night was a very long night of research. I even called Apple to see if they had a solution for me. The guy said "No-Go". At one point, I had a solution previously. There was program I downloaded to my PC to view the properties of .plist files. This is the closest tutorial I found to help me with my problem, unfortunately my ipod was already locked so I was unable to connect to wifi to ssh into it. I did have SBS Settings and could turn my Wifi on and off but it was not connected to the proper wifi network. http://www.ehow.com/how_8711268_delete-iphone-passcode-through-ssh.html

This tutorial would have helped. I eventually got frustrated, backed up my ipod completely and reinstalled the 4.1 OS on it by downloading the OS from one of the sites that offers direct links to apple's iOS files. I then used Tiny Umbrella, saved my shsh blobs and then turned the TSS server on. Went into itunes, held shift down while selecting "restore" and selected the OS I downloaded. It reinstalled my iOS and cleared everything. I then re-jailbroke my iPod using greenpois0n and Cydia's back on. Added some music but it's still nothing like what it was before. I now have to find a way to get into my backup and delete the passcode and restore it back to my previous state. If you have any suggestions, that would be great! I also added a bunch of sources to Cydia in order to download different things. http://jaxov.com/2012/01/top-10-best-cydia-sources-repos-of-2012/ <--that is a good list of sources to add to your Cydia.

Side Note: I purchased a mobile wifi hotspot from Clear. I then downloaded Talk-a-tone to my ipod and was able to use it just like a cell phone as long as I was connected to wifi. Of course I had to have a headset plugged in to hear the people I was talking with! I had unlimited phone service for $45 a month. This worked great for a while but became limited. Clear's service didn't work everywhere and with the 4G only plan, I couldn't take my "phone" out of town with me. I end up purchasing a MyTouch 4G Slide from T-Mobile. I love my phone!

My New Adventures

2012-05-02T08:11:00.001-07:00

I haven't been doing much blog posting, but I figure now is as good of time as any to get back to it. I'll be posting my MAC adventures, as well as any information I feel will be helpful to becoming self sufficient, having a business, graphic design related and creating a residual income!

Some life updates:

I'm now a MAC. I no longer use a PC as my primary computer.

I attend Full Sail University FULL TIME! I'm in the Bachelors of Graphic Design degree program and I am successfully achieving a 4.0 GPA! Go Me!

I am a Graphic Designer now as well. I've been working at it for almost 2 years. I'm simply going to school to learn what I don't know and solidify my skills. I'm working on getting my graphic design firm off the ground. Look out for N-DesEYEgn Creative Media.

I'm constantly trying to think of ways to make more money! If you need some work done, a blog written, graphic design, printing, promotions, or anything related to computers such as fixing a computer, needing software for your computer, etc., let me know! I am also very knowledgeable about starting businesses, writing business plans, getting your business incorporated, etc. So don't hesitate to ask me anything.

You can check out my website at www.ndeseyegn.com. Also my old website has some of my work on it at www.wix.com/ndeseyegn/n-deseyegn. You can also find my most updated work on my Facebook page Facebook.com/ndeseyegn .

Fix Magnet Links for torrents using Chrome!

2012-05-02T07:50:00.000-07:00

One day while trying to make use of torrents, I accidentally clicked a button that stopped my favorite browser, Google Chrome, from being able to handle magnet links. I searched high and low to find an answer and it took me about a month to find it. I wanted to make it easier for others to find the answer so I've posted it below. Let me know if this works for you.

For MAC OS:

Step 1: Exit Google Chrome. Make sure you have completely exited by right clicking the icon and selecting "quit".

Step 2: You'll need to have a program installed that will allow you to view hidden files and folders on your mac. I personally use "Main Menu". They have a 15-day free trial that you can use if this will be the only use you need for it. You can download it from here: http://download.cnet.com/MainMenu/3000-2094_4-10558513.html . Once you install the program, open the menu. The icon should be located in the top right of your screen by your clock. Scroll down to "User" and then under the user menu select "Show invisible files".

Step 3: Open find and in the search bar type "Library". Click on the folder and navigate to: Application Support/Google/Chrome/local state.

Step 4: Open "Local State" in textedit.

Step 5: Scroll down the file until you see "Protocols". Then under protocols you should see the word "magnet". Change the word "true" to "false" and save the file. DONT CHANGE THE FILE FORMAT!

Step 6: Relaunch Chrome and test out a magnet link. It should now open up your favorite torrent program.

(If this does not work for you, open up the "Local State" file and simply delete the line w/ "magnet" on it. Don't delete anything else or it could cause instability in your web browser.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For PC users:

Step 1: Go to your Start Menu > Run and type in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data.

Step 2: Double click "Local State".

Step 3: Open the file with Notepad.

Step 4: Use ctrl+f and search for "protocol_handler" within the document.

Step 5: Look under "Protocol_handler" and find where it says "magnet". Delete that entire line and nothing else as deleting more than needed could cause instability in your web browser.

Step 6: Relaunch Chrome and try to use a magnet link. Everything should be working fine now.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope this helps! Leave a comment and come back soon! :)

Bitches wanna be me,
But you aint on my level.
I'm in outerspace.
Call me telescope, hubble.
I'm always gettin money
Like the sun always rises.
I keep it too real
Baby, aint no suprises.
Fuck what ya heard,
Mz. Nikki's the best.
My rhymes hit like bullets
Hope you wearing ya vest.
My flow is so fi-yah,
Like that cajun ass shit.
I'm on a million dollars,
Like Barack when I spit.

New Keri Hilson Video - Slow Dance

2009-09-17T21:02:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love Keri Hilson...and this is another great song/video from her...check it out:

....

2009-08-23T22:10:00.000-07:00

She said she wants it all,
But she doesn't work hard enough.
She said she's gonna be a star,
But the work is just too tough.
She wants to be involved,
But don't know where to start.
She wants a man in her life,
But she wont give one her heart.
She thinks life is a game.
You win some, you lose some,
But to her its all the same.
She lacks motivation,
And she doesn't know what she's missin'.
She lacks the drive,
But she keeps on wishin'.
The hurt in her heart,
Threw her off track.
She's scared of the new,
And that's holding her back.
She prays to the lord,
But is losing her faith.
All good things come in time,
But she cannot wait.
So she practices patience,
And prays on her knees,
That someone will see her struggling,
And set her mind, body and soul at ease.

Easy

2009-08-23T21:23:00.000-07:00

Once again pieces of me,
Crash against the shore,
Like waves of the sea.
My emotions get the best of me,
On an emotional rollercoaster
Like Vivian Green.
Its so hard to believe
That I've brought myself here again.
The feelings I feel,
I'd like to deepen.
I want you to love me,
And I wanna love you,
But have things moved to fast?
I feel like I've made a mistake,
Reminiscent of the past.
A night of drunken bliss
And physical passion.
Our bodies intertwined,
But it wasnt supposed to happen.
Again, I've let myself go,
Not knowing if the feelings are true.
Is this "like" mutual?
Have I repeated the same mistake?
Gave it up to easy,
By not postponing the passion
And making you wait.
Is this just physical?
Or are you feeling my mind?
Are you really into me?
Or am I wasting my time?

Top Reasons Your Message Gets NO RESPONSE:

2009-08-04T18:49:00.000-07:00

I got the idea to write this because I'm tired of guys sending me wack notes in attempts to try and holla @ me...so I compiled a list of rules w/ the help of my twitter fam...Read em and weep boys!

1. You say "hi u doin" -- its how are you doing..."hi u doin" makes no effin sense.

2. All you say is hello, hi, whats up... etc.

3. You say, "Hey Sexy" --I'm classy...dont come @ me w/ that sexy stuff. Sexy is not my name.

4. I'm nobody's "mama"..so I'd appreciate if you not call me that either.

5. I'm not your "baby" either...I'm a woman...not a baby..clearly I'm grown

6. I'm not attracted to you...

7. You have no picture...

8. Your screen name says something like "Make you scream" or "Pimpin aint easy" or anything w/ the word "boy" in it...I dont want a boy..I want a MAN!

9. You send me a message and if I dont read and respond right away you send me another one saying, "you aint gonna talk to me?" That just makes you seem desperate...and really makes me not want to talk to you!

10. You write me a 4-Page letter and it takes way too long to read...

11. And I know you send the same letter to every girl you see on myspace, blackplanet, facebook, etc because a friend of mine got the same thing from you! LMAO I know you saw her on my top friends...not smart @ all...

12. You live clear across the country...

13. Your lack of grammar skills... you send me a note saying "what it be like shawty"

14. You have a whole lot of girls all over your page: top friends, comments, pictures, etc...

15. The first thing you mention is that you want to "hook up" ...what do I look like...a HOE!?

16. You say, "What's your name?" --which lets me know you didnt read my profile and only wanted to send me a message because of my pic!

17. You didnt READ my profile...so you didnt see this list...and violated one of the rules! LMAO

2009-08-03T22:05:00.001-07:00

Sometimes, I feel so unmotivated. There are so many things I could be doing to make my life a whole lot better and yet I do nothing about them. My friends tell me, "You have really great IDEAS!" and that I should use them and make a career out of them...and I hear them...and most of my ideas are things that I would enjoy doing...and yet and still, I sit and do nothing about it. I have a hard time focusing and concentrating on one central thing. I'll get distracted and start doing something else and forget all about what I was just doing a second ago.

Sometimes I really wonder if there is something wrong with me...

I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS SONG....

2009-08-03T21:42:00.000-07:00

I know its pretty old...but this song means a whole lot to me...and I love Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo, and Kanye for making this a single...

The POT calling the KETTLE black!

2009-06-23T11:48:00.000-07:00

Bitches wanna claim their sainthood/
when they got a man at home/
and still aint up to no good/
claiming she Houston/
aint nothing wrong/
but she fucking other niggas/
while her nigga aint home!/
But I aint one to blow the whistle/
This bitch in denial/
the girl got issues!/
It's like the pot calling the kettle black/
This bitch laying on her back
more than 4 flats on a caddilac.
You can talk all you want
But you need to get the facts!
She says I have no class
So let's talk about that!
Going to court over harrassment charges,
Is that a classy way to act?
Get some glasses to help you see straight!
You and him are thru.
He using yo ass,
How dumb are you?
But I'm low class,
According to you
I'm the lowest of the low,
But you're the hoe.
Going somewhere I would never go,
Fuckin ya ex nigga,baby daddy, and boyfriend tho?
But check it yo!
I must not be that low class,
Cuz you see my shit and wanna jock my ass!

The new-new --just randomly wrote this off the top of my head @6:25pm...lol

2009-06-14T15:22:00.000-07:00

I'm writing you this letter,
To tell you how I feel.
Ain't no better feeling
than your arms wrapped around me
like a banana peel.
You holding me,
Kissing me,
It feels so real.
But when you leave,
It's like a part of me leaves too.
It's like my heart stops beating,
Because it dont want to beat for nobody but you.
I'd feel lost without you in my life.
You make my worries go away,
The pain the strife.
Its all a faded memory
When you're in my life.

NEW POEM 6-14-09

2009-06-14T15:12:00.000-07:00

TRAPPED in a world of UNCERTAINTY,
No directions, no where to turn
So many CHANCES have been given,
But lack of MOTIVATION keeps me UNDRIVEN!
What DOES this WORLD have to OFFER?
SUCCESS: being Money-Cars-Clothes?
Do I strive to obtain those things that are supposed to make me "HAPPY"?
Things to me, that are UNIMPORTANT, I suppose.
What DOES this LIFE have to OFFER?
What's in store for ME?
I wish I knew the ANSWER,
But for now, I'm in MISERY!

Untitled...

2009-04-28T13:23:00.000-07:00

It's like I'm going in circles

With nowhere to turn

Nowhere to get out

When will I learn?

When will I use my head

Instead of using my heart?

When will I wisen up

And do something smart?

Chasing a fantasy

Something all long for

Something never to be reached

Something on the other side of a locked door

To which there is no key.

Even when you think you come close to picking that lock

Your hopes get shot down

Because behind that door is another door with another damn lock.

But you wont give up

And you wont give in.

Cuz behind one of those doors

You are going to knock

And someone will let you in.

Some stuff I wrote a while ago...

2009-04-28T13:00:00.000-07:00

Heartbroken

Falling apart

My life is in Shambles

You broke my heart

My feelings were strong

You told me you loved me

You strung me along

And took my heart from me.

-------------------------------------------

Love is like a rollercoaster.

------------------------------------------

LOVE

How can one simple word have such a deep meaning?

A word, a feeling, a lifetime.

It embodies so many aspects of life,

And controls one's actions.

It involves using your heart,

Rather than your mind,

To make a simple decision

Like the clothes you wear

To the way you style your hair.

To the things you do or

Do I paint my nails red or blue?

Regardless if you know something is wrong,

If its for the one you LOVE,

You'll go right along.

LOVE is a powerful, powerful word.

It can bring unbelievable happiness

And undeniable sadness.

Its what we all strive for

And yet,

Many people die for.

-----------------------------------------------------------

But you try to play me like connect four

So now I'm walking out the door

I dont want you any more

You say you want me,

But you dont know how to show me.

I'm brand new!

And you thought you were dealing with the old me.

It's a funny situation.

This decision I'm making.

Not gonna even try to figure out

What was going on in your head

What you were thinking

When you asked me that question

So serious you were.

No blinking.

No baby making

When there aint a foundation.

-------------------------------------------------------

2009-04-12T12:30:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I feel lonely
In a room full of people.
All alone.
By myself.
In a room full of people.

And then I get angry.
Because I realize that I am all alone.
In a room full of people.

When I open my lips to speak,
Nobody hears me.
No sound comes from my mouth.
No one sees my lips moving.
And this upsets me even more.
Because it verifies that I'm truly all alone.

I begin to cry.
Loud.
Oh so loud and hysterically.
Maybe someone will hear me now.
But the people continue on their daily quests.
They pass me by as if I do not exist.
And yet and still I'm all alone in a room full of people.

Can I get past the monotony, agony, pain?
Will anyone ever notice me?
Speak to me?
Or is my plea for help going to continue to go unnoticed?
Are my tears all in vain?

I sit and wait patiently.
Once again,
All alone,
In a room full of people.
