So today I am really, really tired. I suppose I could say that when Brennon awoke at 5AM that is what did it, but the reality is that I was already up at 5AM. Matter of fact I did not get to sleep until 5:45AM. I woke up at 8:00AM to go to work. With only 2 hours and 15 minutes sleep I am drinking diet cokes like water. That seems to be working.

So what led me to this condition? It twas, my new iPhone and Apple's bad iTunes software. I enjoyed playing with my new phone during the day and last night at 11 I plugged it in to my computer to sync the apps, music and videos. I think Apple makes iTunes crash on purpose so we will go buy a Mac. During the sync iTunes kept on popping up errors. So I figured maybe reinstall itunes and restore the phone back to its original state would do it. When I did that the iPhone froze at the restore point and iTunes popped up all these errors saying it could not restore it. My phone was now a brick.

Of course, me being a software engineer would not let that happen. I know most people would have gone to bed and taken it back to the store to get it fixed. Well, I spent 5 hours getting it imaged and putting it in a secret mode that allows me to upgrade the OS directly through USB. People do that to jailbreak their phones. I didn't do it with this phone cause it doesn't need it. I just used that knowledge to get it back to start. After a couple of hours of mess ups I went to another computer and it worked. I don't think 64 Bit Itunes is that stable. By 4AM I started the sync and got some errors that I had to correct like deleting the photo cache. Finally I was able to put my music, apps and videos on it, a total of 23 gigs of stuff. It is finally all together, looking good, up and running. However, I am not. More sleep...
