I’ve put up a new version of Light that bypasses the sandbox issues that were preventing the app from reading the previous backlight level. To use, you must be a dev and need to sign the app. Both the app and the signing script are here

Just wanted to confirm that the Saurik fixes still work on 3.0. Just tested on device and iPhone.

As many of you are already aware, Ars Technica was caught up in the recent wave of Conde Nast layoffs. After 4/15, I’m going to be working full-time on the 3.0 Cookbook update. I’ll still be posting at O’Reilly Broadcast and may show up now and then on TUAW. I am continuing to do iPhone software reviews and how-to write-ups but they’ll be at one of those two blogs. Please use my erica@ericasadun.com e-mail rather than my Ars Technica one.I will deeply miss all the day-to-day friendships I’ve made and colleagues I’ve worked with at Ars. Although we’ve all exchanged e-mail and IM addresses, it’s never the same.

I will not be posting 3.0 dumps until the NDA goes away. However, I have created a “kit” if you want to dump your own: Header Dump Kit

Jay “saurik” Freeman has found a small bug in my 2.2 Coverflow code. I’ll try to update this at the Google code repository when I get a chance. Basically, you need to add placeholder indices.

Monsterizer creates random faces using MonsterID and Wavatar art. You can add these to your address book contacts that do not currently have images. Monsterizer tags all entries it updates, so you can remove the generated images if you later change your mind.

All the book code samples are under the BSD license. The Google Code site should reflect this, as I needed to specify the license before doing the uploads.

I am moving the iPhone SDK mailing list over to Google Groups. Bluehost says they cannot handle a list of this size; Google Groups can. Of course, inviting 1200 people at once raised spam flags, so we have to wait for Google to approve the new group and the invites before we can move forward. The new group is here.
