Current status:

- Firmware 1.1.3, successfully jailbroken.
- Installer.app[1] and Cydia[2] (a port of Debian's APT!). The latter 
proving how much the former sucks[3].
- Mail, Maps, Weather, Notes, Stocks, and ability to customize home 
screen. For free. All I had to do was install "iPod touch software 
update" package (from a non-standard package source) after getting 
1.1.3. [Note to self: figure out how to get rid of Stocks icon]
- A working ssh, with bash and GNU userland. Which was installed along 
with Cydia. Much better[4] than the "BSD Subsystem" available on Installer.
- Still no working povray.
- Quite dirty touchscreen.
- Jailbreak-related files scattered on my computer (bad habit of 
downloading and extracting on the nearest convenient directory). Gotta 
clean that up.
