If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch with 2.0 Software or later than you can enjoy the benefits of Biola University‘s first configuration profile. This profile, when opened by your unit, will automatically install giving you seamless access to the BiolaSecure.AC network. This means that you will not still will have to log-in to Clean Access or but don’t have to use BiolaGUEST every time you want to use wifi. In order to install this profile go to the iPhone / Manual Setup page using you iPhone or iPod Touch. Then look on the righthand side where you will see a “Dowloads” box. Click on “login using your NetID“. Log-in using your netid and password and then follow the on screen instructions. It really couldn’t be easier. Way to go Biola! Hopefully they will add more features to the configuration profile like Bubbs e-mail or even create a cool app to access portal.

Apple has added 5 new applications to the iPod touch software that can be activated through purchasing the January Software Upgrade from iTunes. The upgrade is $20. It adds the Mail, Google Maps, Weather, Stocks and Notes applications to your iPod touch just like the iPhone. Another feature that they have added is the ability to customize the home screen. You can rearrange the icons on the home screen and dock, create new home pages and also add icons with links to applications/ videos or other media.
I love my iPod touch but I definitely have a problem with buying frequent updates for my iPod touch after paying a premium in the first place. A benefit of software updates is on the original iPods, if they had a major software/hardware update, you couldn’t update the software but would have to buy the next generation. However this would allow Apple to release software updates just like a Mac’s operating system without the need of buying new hardware. I’ll have to admit, even though I was reluctant, I did purchase the update. Its nice to have mail, and especially Google Maps just in case. The only negative aspect is that you have to be connected to your router or another unsecured router in your area.
Life has been pretty chaotic lately. There has been so many things to do between school, business, and the friendly units. However so many fun things have gone on such as going to Knotts Scarry Farm a couple of times and bowling. Another fun thing is I’ll be going to a Boys Like Girls concert next Sunday :).
Anyways another awesome thing is that my Web Host, Rapid VPS has notified me that they would sponsor to host a website for California School Project. That is just an amazing thing and something that is really unheard of.
Anyways I wanted to update my blog a little and thats about it.

So I have been wanting to post this for a couple of days now because I successfully recieved my Apple touch iPod last Friday and let me tell you – its pretty darn cool. I thought it was going to be too good to be true but let me tell you I was stoked when I was using it for the first time. Although there is one small issue I’ve had with it, was that the album covers on the cover flow did not all update when synced/ where all mixed up. Small issue but I absolutely love it :).
Here are some pictures:

Wow! There has just been so much going on lately. The past couple of days have just been flying by so fast, I dont know where they have gone. As you know I am now addicted to eBay and its pretty exciting/ nail bitting at the same time. Ive been selling a bunch of items and the other day I bought a touch iPod which hopefully I’ll be recieving fairly soon. I’m also busy with classes and homework. The dorm life has been interesting. But I must say the coolest thing that has happened in a long while is I got some lights to go over my desk so I can see it at night and those are fantastic. I was so thrilled to see them up and working. Hopefully I will have some more interesting updates. I hope to update my blog more regularly if I can. Oh… and I’ll be sure to post pictures of my touch iPod when I get it. Peace!
