I spent forever trying to figure out how to bluetooth tether with my ATT tilt o/ kaiser tytn II n my mac book pro with leopard. I wanted to be able to send out an email from the car. I have the wm wifirouter which turns yu windows mobile device into a wifi access point but that was too much battery power and I wanted to use bluetooth.

Bluetooth DUN
Bluetooth DUN would not work for some reason. I mean I could take the damn sim out of the windows mobile tilt, stick it in the nokia 7900 an tether with no problem but not with the tilt. The settings I used for that were.

Phone number: *99#
UserName: ISP@CINGULARGRPS.COM
Pass: CINGULAR1
access point: wap.cingular
CID:4

Unfortunately, even if it did work bluetooth DUN is so freakin slow that it is dialup style unbearable.

Bluetooth Pan
Amazingly, the mac OS X leopard and windows mobile 6 can network with bluetooth DUN which is incredibly fast Then I realized on the mac you could also use bluetooth pan. I never tried that before. It is way easier than bluetooth DUN and basically allows your bluetooth phone to share its network instead of dialing out through bluetooth as with DUN. It is so fast and multiple devices can access it at once. I was able to get 1300kbps dl and 150kpbs up.



To get the tilt to work with the Tilt and leopard you will need to use two system preference panes on the mac - network and bluetooth and one program on the tilt called internet sharing.



First, open internet sharing in the programs menu on the Tilt. If it is not there, just search for the internet sharing app on windows mobile on google and it will tell you how to find/enable it. One you got it running on the windows mobile, select bluetooth pan from the top drop down and media net form the bottom one, then hit connect.



Using the mac add your tilt as a paired bluetooth device. First, in your bluetooth system preference panel by clicking the + button at the bottom right and going though the bluetooth wizard. You will need to pair the devices using the wizard. While you are in there, check the "show bluetooth status in menu bar" checkbox so that you get the easy access bluetooth menu in your menu bar.



Choose the type any device when filling out the wizard



Then open you network system preference panel and select the plus in the lower left. A box will pop up, choose bluetooth pan and name it tilt or whatever you want. Then hit create and exit out of your network control panel.



Last in the bluetooth drop down that you enabled in you status bar at the top of the finder, select the tilt and then click connect to network. You should be all connected at that point.



Happy tethering.

Here it is printed out and pasted into the Linwood Home Tour booklet. Their printer will be much nicer than the document printer I printed it out on. But this gives you a feel for it. As you can see most of the other advertisements are tiny. I am very happy with it now to just get around to calling the woman and writing the check.



Update - I changed it yet again. This time I decided to curve the bottom of the part the logo is on to make it look like more of an architectural element on a house and added the border at the top for the same reason.

So my intestines have been doing so great. I have eaten just about everything and I have been able to determine by my elimination diet that milk products do make me kind of sick and that the milk problem is very much eliminated through lactase. I have eaten a minimal about of wheat but I haven't completely stopped eating it at I think I am ready to try pasta this week one day and see.

There are some squids, shrimp sushis, aspargus, rice, raspberrys and salad. Yes, I have been able to even eat salad again! I look so weird without my glasses.



The Lexington Coop
On another note, Kaitlyn from the Lexington Coop is seriously the hottest girl I have ever seen. Sorry ever other girl I ever saw but seriously she is so stunning. Both (e:matthew) and I get a silly around her. It is rare that we agree on anything, let alone a girl. I think she is the only girl that can make both of us get that nervous, teen boy feeling. Whoever is her boyfriend is one lucky guy.

It is so hard to design with text and in black and white. Well not really but a little color would go a long way!! I am thinking with going with this abstract design right now but I might change my mind altogether tomorrow, now I need to eat dinner before 12:30!!



Here it is with the same font (e:empireoflight) - I had tried that earlier but was not totally sold on it. I can see it ties the logo in more with the e, but I kind of like how the e stood out before with the mini serif on the other font? I liked how the angled end of the e kind of pointed back at the white line which made me follow it back to the logo.

Maybe I will love it in a little bit. I just need to look at it more later as right now I am tired of even looking at any of it, lol.



UPDATE:
Maybe this one? I feel liek the one above makes my eye get trapped int eh bubble because the e is too in the center. I still have lots of days to decide.

Today we went to the block club meeting for the Linwood neighborhood block club. It was interesting to see the many types of people that live in our neighborhood. They were planning the Linwood Home tour which is raising money for the gateway to the neighborhood.

We had Judge Novak come to visit and we talked about neighborhood problems. The whole time I couldn't help but think how ridiculous our problems are compared to some Buffalo neighborhoods in dire straights.

One house really does stand out though. I think the address is 358 Linwood, the gray house on the 400 block on the Delaware side. It is definitely a sketchy rooming house I have been offered drugs there when walking buy many time which is extra sketchy for such a residential block. I hope they do end up taking care of it.



He did make a good point explaining that our neighborhood, along with Allentown, the Elmwood Village, Parkside and Delaware District pay the the highest taxes around funding many of our city services. If our prices dropped because people started doing thing like installing vinyl siding (one of the issues) then Buffalo would lose tax money - so he takes it very seriously.

Overall, my only complaints are with the Church of the Ascension's trash they gets all over our lawn from their numerous overfilled trash bins that get left out for a week at a time. Unfortunately, I couldn't really discuss it because they were holding the meeting at the church, lol.

Advertisements for the Linwood Home tour are cheap. I think that I will go ahead and get a $100 full page one for estrip? The proceeds go to the gateway fund. It seems like such a steal for something that ~1000 people will see. Last time they had 800. Plus when was the last time I got to design something for print.
