another geekgasm… Shawn Blog is higher in Google search results for a recent news story than Digg!?
![I found a Cydia app that counts the current files and directories, listing the information along with the full path information for the biggest file currently on the device. [info]
With a jailbroken iPhone, you can pretty easily browse, edit or delete any and every single file on the device. That can be quite dangerous, of course. Do a lot of research before you try anything. One wrong move could ruin your iPhone.
When I first checked the files, a video I was just storing in my iPhone for no good reason was just over half a GB. I archived that and deleted a bunch of other pointless pictures and video, giving myself well over a GB of free space.
Running the app again, I found another huge file, but I was unfamiliar with the file extension. After a little research, it appears the .ithmb file is an image thumbnail database format. I’m assuming iOS just keeps these even after you delete images because there were six of them taking up more than 2GB on my iPhone. Since most of the images and videos have been moved into my archive folder off the device, it made sense that these could be deleted… so now I have over 12GB free and don’t need to delete the next biggest file I found - this mix.](http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/shawnblog/3101708174/1/tumblr_lg30bpfJ0K1qz4aom)

Oh, well that’s nice.
Why not give me a way to send this to my iPad or maybe a page explaining it and instructing me to open it on my iPad if you’re too lazy to code something extra?
Pretentious morons.
I’ve never been much on sharing headphones but robots are awesome.
I never asked for your “helper” Comcast.
It spells “NOT-GEEK” and it’s a local number, which is important for analog friends who still don’t get that they aren’t charged extra for making a long distance call.
The domain is not active either. I think I’m gonna make an offer on it. I mean, I’m not a geek, right? ;-)
I feel much safer now!
on fire here
Yet another geek victory!
I am such a geek now… OK maybe not, but here’s a free mac icon I just created for my Lacie 301304U Neil Poulton designed external hard drive. I mean, who wants the standard icon for something that looks this completely bad ass?
You can download the .png file here and then just open it in the free Fasticns app to save as your own icon.
