Something that I have found  bloody annoying in the past is that when I have done an upgrade on my iPhone, my Jailbreak disappears. Well that’s not the annoying thing at all really; you know that is going to happen. What annoys me is that half of my applications  disappear from view. Of course this is simply due to me being too damn hasty to upgrade and never thinking before I go ahead and do it.

One of the applications that I use on Jailbreak is  Categorisies, a good application that allows you to basically create folders and then dump your apps in them. This means that you then don’t have to flick through loads of screens on the iPhone to get to an application. The downside  is twofold. Firstly it is really a very slow application, so I only drop stuff there that I hardly ever use. Secondly if you  update the OS without first removing everything from Categories then the applications remain hidden. What a pain it you are not intending to Jailbreak again immediately (or worse you can’t!)

In my frustration at this I just used trusty old Google to find the answer …. and it works great.

Go into settings, enable restrictions, close settings, re-open and disable restrictions. This un-hides any icons that you hid with Categories or Poof or whatnot.

AAAAHHHHH Sanity at last!

Today I turned my attention to making the front page of the domain look just a little bit better. Being a lazy sort of person I had of course done plenty of research in the past to easy web site maintenance on OSX; today I dusted off my license key and installed RapidWeaver. Nice piece of software, but I guess it runs into some pretty stiff competition from Apple’s homegrown solutions for those of us who just want to do things quickly, cheaply and basically. So although I used RapidWeaver I’m not really sure that it is much better for me than iWeb.
