tethering enabled on my Softbank iPhone! Yes!

Finally iPhone OS 3.0 arrived, and to be honest, it wasn’t that big bang everybody was talking about. Just some fireworks combined with a proper copy&paste (which most of the phones already had), and the horizontal keyboard for writing emails. Of course, if you get to grab one of those iPhone 3G S you’d find a 3 megapixel and video capabilities, I really don’t understand why they didn’t enabled it for mine!

But! here we go with the good new, thanks to an angel who appeared to be in the form of w00kie post and entry called Activate tethering on Softbank iPhone. There I found how to enable tethering for my softbank iPhone and share softbank’s 3G with my netbook thru the USB or the bluetooth! and all without even jailbreaking!! Thethering is initially blocked by most of the operators that sell iPhone due to its obvious bandwidth costs. But anyway, it’s too simple to be true:

  1. Download the file softbank_jp.ipcc.
  2. Execute the command “C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1″ from a DOS command window if you have a PC (my case) or “defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE” from a terminal if you use Mac (not my case).
  3. Plug your iPhone thru the USB and start iTunes.
  4. Shit + click over the button “check update” you’ve probably been click during the last days.
  5. Select the file you download before. It will update some carrier stuff and…

voila! go to settings>general>network and you’ll your brand new “tethering”.

Snowing in shouthern Kyushu

Well, it’s a fact. The weather forecasts were announcing the snow in Kagoshima (and other parts of Kyushu) from yesterday night and it’s here. In fact it appears to have no intention of stopping. Forecasts assure, Kagoshima prefecture could reach 10-15 cm of snow and I cna see that coming too.

It’s strange because although Japan has lots of snow, all of it snows mostly on the side of Japan facing Asia (the continent). Reports say that the wave of low temperature have been so cold this time the it has reached these areas too.

PS/ I’d have loved to take a picture of Sakurajima this morning, but visibility is 0 right now…

Some pics from my way for home to the lab here

What I did on Christmas Day

This is the second year (in a row) I couldn’t go back home to celebrate these days with my family and friends. That’s the happy part of it, the sad part is that I spend christmas day’s afternoon correcting documents and stuff for my phD (within months) senpai Anderson. The picture shows one of the things a had to prepare without him even knowing about it. I also did one more “pleasant” (“unpleasant” too at some points) thing that day but I’m waiting for the pictures from my other senpai Yoshizaki.

Christmas-rush dinner

Yesterday, I wasn’t even thinking about preparing nothing special for christmas (specially because Anderson ripped out of me). Just a bottle of cava to skype-toast with my family in Spain. But suddenly, some kind of christmas-rush attacked me and I ended up looking for some roasted animal (preferably chicken) for dinner. My answer was “DAIEI” a slightly-pricey store near my house.

We accompanied the dinner with a delicious wine of Ribera del Duero by Josemari

290 yen bento in the park

Before becoming Santa for a day (come back for a post later), I decided to eat a bento on the park right before the river. Lately, temperature is back to normal.

Santa meets the campus

I was thinking that living in Japan and in Kagoshima, far away from Tokyo, having even a tiny feeling of a Christmas spirit was too much to ask for. But today I went to Inamori Academy I was happy to discover that Santa is among as.

3 weeks

That’s the time I have to read this book, 3 weeks. The book is “Computer Science handbook” by Allen B. Tucker, and consists of a compilation of articles covering what is computer science nowadays. Is it possible to read a 2500 pages book in 3 weeks? I guess not… But I’m gonna try it.

The fact is that the book costs about 20000 yen, and even getting it on eBay was difficult, so I asked the libray in my university to find it in another university’s library. The problem is that it’s just for a limited period and I have to give it back by January 5th…

Pottery and Kimchi

I few weeks ago, I went with Hyang Sun to some sort of event in Ijuin, for selling Korean foods and stuff for one of the best Korean Restaurants I’ve ever been too, Omoni (map here).

We sold a huge amount of Kimchi, and also we had some time to go around the “festival” and enjoy the events around: tutored pottery, amateur music, … I even got to make a bottle, or whatever ~~
