NSV 2009 Update
June 21st, 2009
Sean Lee in the California section of NSV
Sean, Andy, and myself put-in with around 250cfs on Saturday. This is a medium low level but not too low, when broaching becomes a hassle in the upper part of the run. We discovered that Cascade #1 had a new major strainer in the middle of that drop. This will need to be removed before anybody can run this drop. This strainer will require more than a hand saw to remove. Boating down the upper woody section, I was taken out by two strainers that were difficult to avoid. Thanx to Sean and Andy for rescuing my boat; the second incident requiring a “live-bait” rescue and rope work in very cold water.
The California section seems to be good to go, no new logs to be aware of. Thread-the-Needle drop can be run middle or right now at 250. There should be enough snow left this coming week to run NSV. And as always; bring an extra layer and your A-game.

iPhone 3.0 TMobile

New copy/paste feature
Now the bad news about firmware 3.0 upgrade. Most of my 49 apps are broken, including Tweetie. They crash immediately upon launching. I have read online that this means the app was not yet updated for the iphone 3.0 OS. I can’t believe 49 iphone developer forgot about 3.0’s arrival, but a fair amount of iphone users seem to be reporting app crashing, or maybe this problem will require the new ultrasn0w hack, which is supposed to be available tomorrow. Either way, another iPhone firmware update survived but with injuries.
iPhone OS 3
June 17th, 2009
The iphone 3.0 firmware will be released today at 11am MST. Hopefully it will go smooth with our unlocked TMobile 2G iphones, TMobile users, let us know if it doesn’t go smoothly. It has been a long wait for copy/paste on the iphone. Here is a good how-to list of the new 3.0 iphone features. http://bit.ly/fIbPi
