The story so far...

In a previous post (poor performance of iphone 3G under OS4.0), I described how the latest iphone OS4.0 software upgrade effectively killed my iphone 3G.

To cut to the chase, I have now reloaded the previous OS (3.1.3) into the phone, and things are working nicely again.

Just uploaded the OS4.0 upgrade today to my iphone 3G.

Turns out to be a bad move. The new OS is extremely sluggish on the 3G platform.

tomtom satnav app: killed
With the tomtom satnav app - the response time from keypress to activity is way too long. (and in case you were wondering, yes, I upgraded the tomtom app to the 4.0-compatible version)

car stereo: killed
The sluggishness introduced by the new OS has also caused issues with the car stereo - an Alpine unit which connects directly to the iphone and controls it via the unit's control panel.

I am now looking for a way to downgrade this software back to the 3.x version that I was running previously.

Many organizations these days use wikis to allow people to collaborate on projects, and documentation. Problem is, the out-of-the-box wiki works, just, for assembling pages of unrelated items, like an encylopedia. For anything more structured however, it falls well short.

In the animated movie "the Incredibles" there is a wonderful scene where Edna (clothing designer for the superheroes) explains to Mr Incredible all of the reasons why he shouldn’t have a cape on his next super-suit. At the end, she sums it all up nicely: No Cape!
