PDAnet for iphone tethering
Category: mobile
Having a jailbroken iphone is great for a lot of reasons. The best of all which is you can tether. All the tethering options until I tried this point sucked. None of them were as good as any of the windows mobile solutions.

This latest one PDAnet is totally awesome. No socks proxy, no messy settings, just ad hoc wifi network and one simple switch for on or off in the application. It even has WEP, and although WEP isn't amazing security, its better than none and seeing as it is just a temp network... its fine. Everything runs lightning fast and you can use your laptop as you normally would if connected in any other way. I can't believe it took this long for something to come along.

Here is a blog with the instructions:

Now if only apple would support this type of solution.

ta-dah!

:::link:::

"A 3rd party tethering option called NetShare briefly appeared in the App Store before it was removed by Apple. AT&T traditionally charges an additional $30/month for this tethering option on their other smartphones. MacRumors has separately heard that this tethering capability is expected to be built into the 2.2 firmware."

do you know why apple ISN'T supporting tethering? Is it b/c ATT won't let them or something like that? I'm a little reluctant to jailbreak, but that sure would be nice...

Time Change Decisions
Category: work
I woke up an hour early effortlessly thanks to the time change. Could be a good time to change my work schedule by one hour. Then again, I might just hate it after a week. Maybe I will just go in early today and see.

Halloween Party 2008
Category: holiday
We started out the day at the Bonton so that (e:hodown) could get pantyhose and some makeup.
image

We decked out the house with lots of spider webby stuff.
image

I decided to be the demon farmer. I wanted a costume that was fun, easy, and revealing. I thought this one worked.
image

By 5am I was pretty much exhausted. This is me trying to make a serious face while posing for (e:hodown). It was the first time I wore contacts in years.
image

I work up at 9:20am to one messy ass kitchen. (E:flacidness), (e:hodown) and I cleaned till like 11:30. Then we left for the farmer's market. The best part was when TK first woke up he was thirsty and poured a glass of cider to chug. Unfortunately, it was the cider that Robert and James brought which was alcoholic.

I had no idea there was hard cider I would have liked to try that. There was all kinds of food that I didn't eat, I just wasn't hungry for some reason. I hope that all that straw got picked up some how. Thanks for hosting the party!!!!
libertad - 11/02/08 08:13
I asked mike if we could come back and clean up and he said no. I like cleaning up after parties for some reason. Wish I could have seen TK's face when he drank that cider...hehe
tinypliny - 11/02/08 00:08
I feel like I should have stayed behind and helped clean up. I think that's my plan for next time. Or I should just drop by in the morning and help with the scrubbing and vaccuming. It really feels awful now, that I left without even asking. This is a seriously rude (bordering on vindictive) thing to do back home. I am sorry! :(
tinypliny - 11/02/08 00:04
Did you throw out everything that is pictured?

Costume Time
Category: holiday
I had a hard time resisting being (e:lilho)'s boil. I ended up being a farmer again. This time with a devil pitch fork and some mask. (e:hodown) is her girl crush form TV.

tinypliny - 11/01/08 10:38
Haha, very cool. You should have stuck with the mask and stabbed everyone intentionally. ;-)

And (e:hodown) looked like the Joan character so much! Perfect costume.

The creepiest classified ever
Category: www
I was perousing through as I find it endlessly entertaining to read about other people sex lives. I have a feeling the Buffalo ones are tame compared to those in SF or NYC. This is definitely the most creeptastic one I have ever read. It reads like the beginning of a serial killer movie.

I am a middle-aged white man looking for a young(18-20yr old)white guy who wants to be my houseboi in sunny,warm,and wonderful,Tampabay,Florida! NO Snow,lots of sun and fun! You will have to get here on your own! I will provide room and board,No experience needed,will train the right guy. This is a long term relationship,im a dominant type of guy,a top,5'10",7"cut,heavy build,and I can be strict.I want you to do some light housekeeping,take care of my wants and needs,go places and do things with me,all at my expense! You won't need a salary,I will pay for everything!No other job allowed,No outside dating,No one in the house,and No going out with anyone! I like the quiet submissive type of guy,who does what he is told,and likes to serve others.If you are interested,send stats,photos,and contact info to me asap! this position won't last long,christmas is coming!no car wanted or needed,fly down or take the bus!
Tell me what you are into? this is a great location,beats WNY by a mile! CYA! IF THIS ISN'T FOR YOU,KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELF! GET A LIFE! I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A CRITIC,IM LOOKING FOR A HOUSEBOI!



To me this reads as a serial killer looking to cut you off from all communication and rape you continuously. Especially creepy is the "no car wanted or needed,fly down or take the bus!" That just screams, there will be no trace that you ever came here, and you are never leaving.

I started searching for words from the ad and found some other links: He has either been on the search for a while or he wore the old ones out.

He also didn't post it on Tampa craigslist about it which sounds like he wants a person who has no local connections. Creepy.
james - 10/31/08 19:20
I have similar rules for our houseboy, Hans.
zobar - 10/31/08 14:01
Creepy. And pronouncing 'boi' as 'bwah' doesn't make it any better.
