I tweeted a link to this url, but didn’t blog it. I should have, so here it is:
It got me all excited so i’ve started (slowly, i’ll admit) to write my own DSL in Ruby. I’ll post how i get on.
iPhone 3.0 beta 2 tethering how to
April 3rd, 2009 • Apple, Internet, Mac, iPhone • 9 comments
In iPhone 3.0 beta 1, tethering didn’t work. In beta 2, it does and it’s really simple to achieve. It does require a quick mod to your iPhone. Here’s what you have to do:
1. Download the o2_uk.ipcc carrier details file. Please note that this is the UK ipcc file. If you’re not on O2 in the UK, search google for your suitable ipcc file.
2. Connect iPhone to PC / Mac and select to restore with the option to select a custom restore package (hold down option on Mac before selecting restore)
3. Select the ipcc file as the restore package. The change of details on the phone takes only a few seconds and doesn’t require an iPhone reboot
4. Go into iPhone Settings app > General > Network > Internet Tethering and enable.
5. Connect iPhone to PC / Mac over USB or bluetooth
6. The PC / Mac will do the rest
7. Done!
Works great (i’m posting via tethering now)

Great presentation here by Kent Back on ease at work.
This relates to a post i made about security as a sense of stability at work.
My rough summary: Enjoy your work, feel secure, or make a change! Don’t accept any less!

It’s only a draft, but it’s a start. More to follow…
Yes, Story Driven Development has an acronym. Oh, and here’s a definition and further reading too!

As i was asked, i happily confirm the acronym: STDD. I’ve also provided a lovely definition by Tracy Reppert and a pdf from August 2004 for more reading:
“The basic premise is that before any code is written, a team takes a story (or rough idea of a requirement) and fleshes out that story by producing an executable ’story test’.
Opponents say that STDD is ‘cowboy coding’, or ’snake oil’, or just ‘a hindrance to real work.’ Proponents argue that STDD produces the simplest system possible and is the wave of the future, the new frontier.”
All written in 2004! I’m just happy it’s finding its feet in smaller web agencies now. Well, at least the one work for (yes, i’m kind of pushing it)!
Here’s also a lovely PDF:
