iPhone Tethering in US

I wonder if this works.

HOWTO: iPhone AT&T Tethering
============================

In 10 steps:

* Update iTunes to 8.2 via Software Update
* Update your iPhone to the 3.0 release (out today – June 17th)
* Download this dmg and mount it: tethering file
* Enable hidden carrier testing option (in Terminal.app): defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
* Start up iTunes
* Go to you iPhone’s summary page
* Option-Click the Restore button
* Select the ATT_US.ipcc file from your mounted dmg (step 3)
* Open Settings -> General -> Network -> Internet Tethering on your iPhone and switch it ON
* When your computer is connected via USB you will see a dialog to open network preferences. Open it and hit apply.

If you have problems with visual voicemail after this follow these steps (thanks to [luigi](http://github.com/luigi) for pointing this out):

* Connect your iPhone and fire up iTunes
* Option-click on the Restore button like you did before
* Navigate to [your-username]/Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support
* Click on the file in there to reset your carrier settings

Dynamically Instantiating an Object

Ever wanted to write a method that instantiated an object of a class you specify? Below should be self-explanatory. Just call “const_get” method on the Object.

>> a = Object.const_get("String").new
=> ""
>> a.class
=> String
>> class Joon
>> def initialize
>> puts "Hello Joon"
>> end
>> end
=> nil
>> a = Object.const_get("Joon").new
Hello Joon
=> #<Joon:0x18468e4>
>>

Snippets?

Wouldn’t you know it, just as I was about to upload my Komodo Edit snippet collection, I accidentally blew away the file. So, as an exercise, I’ll post the code snippets as I write them on daily basis. I’ll post the file. All you have to do is just go to tools menu and import the file, then keep or throw away the snippets.

Cool Videos from ATLRUG

I really love attending RUG (Ruby Users Group) as I usually get real world examples and lessons. Here’s a link to ATLRUG’s videos where interesting topics are covered:

I’ll ask NJRUG about taping our sessions too, now that I got all the video recording and editing equipment.
