Spire Proxy

2012-02-13T10:34:00.001+09:30

If you want the proxy comment, e-mail, or tweet me your email address so I can provide the details. (This is so I can keep track of the amount of users.

Spire Proxy Commands:

It has some speech commands from the 4S like Hello, Thank you and things like that. If you want to add a basic speech command just tell me via email, twitter, or comment.

Other commands include:
define "word"
Wolfram alpha is implemented
Weather sort of works
Timer sort of works
There are some other but you just have to experiment.

Or you could just ask help from siri

If you know python and would like to help make plugins just ask, would be greatly appreciated.

Dead island lan fixes

2012-01-05T23:32:00.002+09:30

OK I wrote this at midnight so it may not make sense.

I won't provide links, just google them your self.

Ok to fix the game lobby greyed out problem, update your game to 1.3.0.
Then go to the dead island folder and open the steam_apid.txt file, change that number (but keep a note of it somewhere, you will need it) to.
17700
Now save and make this file read only by right clicking on this file, and checking the read only button.
Click apply.
Now if you don't mind restarting your game again. Go ahead and play
But if you have a save file that you want to keep, go the the steam installation folder.
Open the userdata folder.
There should be one folder in there. Open it.
If there isn't(more than one), read the rest of the guide and check every folder.
That number that you changed, there should be a folder for that in the folder you opened.
Rename that folder to 17700.
I'm not sure if you need to copy the save from the dead island folder, but open dead island and if your save is there
play, if it isn't copy the out folder in the dead island dir, to the folder that you renamed to 17700.
Should work.

My wallpapers

2012-01-04T10:05:00.000+09:30

Some people have been asking for my wallpapers...so, here they are. I will update this page when ever I decide to change my wallpapers, but I will archive the old ones for those that are watching this in the not so distant future.

Here are the current ones, that are on my iPad, I change every now and then just to keep it fresh and not boring.

Oh and since this is my blog as well as a "hub" for all of the iPad/Spire stuff, I will upload my photography under the pictures tab, since well, Some of you will like it. (Depending on your taste)

You can access the album here :

Regarding the proxy...

2012-01-03T16:45:00.000+09:30

The proxy that I created was working and all except my iPad wouldn't connect to it since I didn't have the 4S Auth Keys. So for those of you who got your hopes up...I'm sorry. :/

I wish it worked though, then there won't be these shitty proxies that are used up within the hour by the large jailbreak community.

Spire on iPad: Now with UI!

2012-01-03T16:43:00.000+09:30

Yes....I have managed to get the UI for spire on iPad. This was achieved by up scaling the iPhone UI and then putting these files back on the iPad, there are a few errors here and there, but I'll get to them.

Ok I have two links: One where if you click you'll have to wait for 5-6 seconds before the download, doing this will help me earn some money to bring more awesome stuff (It doesn't cost you guys a cent, except for download fees from your internet provider). The other link (Direct link) is for those that don't want to wait 5-6 seconds before downloading a file.

adf.ly link (The one where you will get me money): Adf.ly Link
Direct Link: Direct Download

Any way have fun!

Oh by the way there will be no siri proxy from me since I don't have a 4S.

I'm starting a project, Interested?

2012-01-02T01:08:00.001+09:30

Ok I am starting a project in the form of a game. If you have any skills (3D art, sound, unity, C#, Java) and would like to help, drop a comment.

The idea is...it's hard to explain, I'll think about it and post my ideas here.

Errors with the spire port

2011-12-29T22:30:00.001+09:30

OK! So far people have been having errors with the Spire tutorial: I will list and try to answer them here

"iam unable to load cydia apps in my settings....help plzzz"

Before we try anything we need to find out if the problem is settings, to do this, download an app with a settings page, something like winterboard, activator, something that will appear in settings.

Also check that you have mobile substrate, and of course spire.

If it appears in settings, it means that something went wrong while installing spire. If it didn't, best thing to do is to backup, restore, and restart :/

Now for those 'lucky' people, go to the plist mentioned in the video K48AD(?) and under the 720p string add an assistant string.

So it should look like this...

<key>assistant720p</key>
<true/>

<key>assistant</key>
<true/>

Another Solution for this, is to reinstall the dependecies of spire.

Mobile Substrate

Preference loader (Really important)

Mobile Substrate should be installed easily from cydia.

Pref loader is a little bit harder to install, as you can't find it on cydia.

Head here to install pref loader: http://www.hackstor.biz/2010/04/preferenceloader-20-1.html

"I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any request right now. Please try again in a little while."

This is because of the lack of a siri proxy. Even though you have on typed in, the proxy might not be real or it could be overloaded.

"I require assistance.. it's stuck looping on the spinning wheel."

This is caused by a corrupt or missing K48AP.plist file, to fix this just plug you device into your computer, access the iPad's disk with a program like iexplorer or iFunbox and look through the plist file for errors. Errors could be a missing ">" or a missing "/".

Hope whatever your problem was fixed see you next time.

Siri on iPad 1 gasp

2011-12-28T18:20:00.000+09:30

OK I stayed up all of last night figuring this out, looking through code and all that stuff. So here I present to you possibly the first ever solution. The problem was the gsc.ipad conflict which denied ipad users to install spire (siri) on their device.

Suggestions?

My daily entertainment :D

2011-11-17T12:43:00.001+09:30

Trololol, I enjoy watching teachers pull faces and get frustrated because the cord is in the wrong socket. They don't know that, but all the students do. So when they ask 'Hey anyone here advanced in computers?' everyone says my name...
So i get up and fix their simple problem and when I look at them, they look all embarrassed and look they would hit someone.
Sometime I leave it and they just attempt to fix it for the whole 45 minute period in which i just sit and organise more important things (pphh just joking I play games on my iPad)

Game adventure started!

2011-11-16T09:54:00.001+09:30

Well todays marks the day in which I start my one man game dev adventures. It is only me doing all the art, sound, and coding. Seems a pretty hefty task, but I will get some self satisfaction out of it i guess...

But the game I'm planning is going to be a deep and rich rpg, and possibly mmo, if you have any ideas feel free to post a comment.

In the interest of security...

2011-11-14T11:03:00.001+09:30

Hello,
Recently a friend (name not disclosed) got his live account hacked and was sending span to me and his other contacts. The reason i'm talking about this is because i've noticed that people have been using non-word passwords such as:
98g8& and 93jf0
you know other stuff like that. But it has come to my attention that these passwords are a lot weaker than people think, even though the site they are using says it is really strong.
Ok let me explain what makes a good password, but first I need to talk about the types of methods that bots use in order to gain access.

1.Brute Force: A brute force attack is an attack in which the bot or computer sequentially goes through and tests password character by character. Sort of like how people break into bike locks, if you don't know what I am talking about, here:

Let's say our password is 9987jd
The bot will find one of the characters, let's start from the last character (d)
The bot will go through 00000a
then 00000b and so on till the site loading changes (bots moniter the site loading speed and try the characters that take the longest)
After a while the bot will eventually get to 9987jc then after that, your information will be revealed to the bot and it's owner.

That is a brute force attack

2. Dictionary attack
What the title says, a database containing a dictionary, the bot will read the dictionary and try each and every word.

Those are the main attacks.

Now to create a strong password one must think logically.

I myself have a worded password which has capitals, lower/uppercase and numbers.
My friend had ldsjf9843w79 something simmilar to that.

It has been tested that worded passwords like mine are best because no one wants to sit at a computer for a month maybe waiting for something to happen.

Any way...
再见！
