Alright, decided that phoneboy.org would be a good place to put my infosec blog. Which is funny because it used to be on phoneboy.net :P
@paulgit I can't remember why I stopped using it. Maybe because I travel and it can't figure out where I am :P

An image like this [imgur.com] was why I was convinced to try setting my iPhone back to 1/1/1970. It was a wild ride indeed. :P
Finally gave up and cracked open my iPhone 5s to unplug the battery to fix the dreaded 1970 reboot issue that I talked about yesterday and did a podcast on today [phoneboy.com].
Good thing I have some experience with cracking open my iPhone. And have an iCloud backup.
