Daniel Ho’s Musings

I’m deeply saddened by the events in Haiti. My thoughts are with those who are suffering and those who are aiding the struggling nation.

Please help out by giving generously to your local Red Cross, or my perennial charity of choice, Médecins Sans Frontières.

Médecins Sans Frontières is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural or man-made disasters.

If you are like me, you HAD to have iPhone tethering even though it wasn’t supported yet. So, you poked around on the web and found/hacked a profile config file for Fido/Rogers and installed it.

Well, as of iPhoneOS 3.1, the iPhone will not accept unsigned config files (unless you have jailbroken); as such, this file will no longer work. This means that if you have the unsigned config file, your tethering option will disappear.

However, seeing as Rogers/Fido has officially embraced tethering (for now). If you have the hacked and unsigned config file installed it (or any similar file for other carriers, like AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) and upgraded to iPhoneOS 3.1 or 3.1.2, you will need to remove it.

Open Settings > General > Profiles (at the bottom). Remove the profile you see there. Tethering should now show up for you.

Enjoy! The credit for this goes to http://cdslash.net/about/ who helped me work out the whole config file thing in the first place…

It took me a while to find this, but in case you were looking for it…here’s the updated drivers for the Novatel MC950D Mobile Broadband USB Modem on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Without it, when you install Snow Leopard, the computer doesn’t recognize the modem anymore.

Enjoy!

There are 145 TTC routes now equipped with the bike racks on the front of the buses.

I have to admit that I’ve never done it partly due to the intimidation factor of trying to load a bike when I’ve never done it before…with a full bus of passengers waiting.

It looks pretty simple. I’ll give it a try one day and report back.

In case you were wondering how this is done, here’s the site with more information on the service as well as videos instructions.
