I had to find this the hard way, so I’m posting the info in hopes of making it easier for others.
After you’ve done the jailbreak app, you’re probably looking at the list of apps and thinking “is this it?”
Well, it’s not. You have to add sources to the installer. Go to the section called SOURCES and add the available ones. Next time you look at the selection, there will be much more available!

Everyone who has ever used my computer, even for a moment, has taken a particular liking to my search shortcuts — most notably gg, my shortcut to Google.
I’m doing Google searches all the time. Whenever I have a question about anything, I don’t hesitate to grab my laptop and look it up on Google. If I had to go to Google.com, wait for the site to load, and click in the search box before I could type in my query and search, it would slow me down.
After reading that, you probably think I’m crazy. But yes, that little bit of extra work would slow me down. I search a lot!
So what is my more efficient solution? It’s simple: Firefox bookmark keywords. If you don’t understand them, I recommend that you go look at the LifeHacker article about them.
I’ve published some of my more useful search shortcuts here. Firefox users can simply right-click on the link and choose Bookmark This Link. Then, go into Organize Bookmarks and add keywords to them. I also recommend grouping the search shortcuts into a folder called Search to keep some sanity in the Bookmark menu.
Google Search – keyword: gg
Google Maps – keyword: map
Google Image Search – keyword: img
IMDB Lookup – keyword: imdb
Dictionary – keyword: dc
Thesaurus – keyword: th
Wikipedia – keyword: wiki
After saving the bookmarks, don’t forget to add the keywords. The shortcuts are useless without them. Oh, and if you don’t use Firefox, you’re out of luck.
With the shortcuts, you can now go to the address bar and type gg britney spears to learn everything you want to know about annoying pop singers. But that would be useless.
More useful would be, when you’re looking at the web site for a local sushi restaurant and you see their address on the page, you could copy it from the page and paste it into the address bar, typing map before it, so you have something like map 401 N Michigan Ave Chicago. Just a few keystrokes gets you the directions you’re looking for.

Okay, so it took me a little while to come around to Google Reader, and I think they’ve changed some stuff since the first time I tried it, but I’m now convinced.
Keeping up with a large number of web sites became easy to do with the introduction of RSS… and now, thanks to Google Reader, it’s easy to do from anywhere, rather than being stuck with the settings only on your home computer, or work computer.
I became a GMail believer immediately after trying it, and while I don’t think the documents are a replacement for MS Office just yet, I like the ability to share them. Now, with Reader, Google is easily becoming the home of my online experience.
If you haven’t tried it yet, or don’t understand RSS, it’s simple. You find the little “feed” icon (
) on the page you are looking for, right-click on it and copy the link, and then paste that into Google reader.
Firefox users have it even easier, because any page with an RSS feed will also have that icon in the address bar at the top. The first time you click that icon, you will be asked to choose your RSS tool. Pick Google. From then on, every time you click that icon, you will be prompted to add the feed to Google Reader.
It works for blogs, news sites, sports sites, and even Flickr photostreams. Finally, you can keep up with all your friends without having to go visit every web site every time.
It’s also a good way for obsessed stalkers to get back some of their valuable time, so they can keep an eye on their ex while still managing to get some work done at the office.

If you haven’t yet tried Firefox, you need to. Firefox is a fully standards compliant browser, which is important if you’re developing web sites because you need to know that you’re writing standards compliant code. Firefox is faster than Internet Explorer, and it’s also far safer, lacking all of the security holes that IE provides for hackers to access your system. And if that’s not enough, Firefox also provides tools to block popup windows, and extensions make it easy to block ads anywhere in a web page.
