iPad tethering
Mar 8th
Want to use your iPad on the road with your iPhone’s internet connection? Jailbreak!
On the iPad:
Turn off Bluetooth, Wireless
Install iTether from Cydia (sits in the Big Boss repo if you can’t find it)
On the iPhone
Settings -> Network -> Turn on Internet Tethering
Turn on Bluetooth
On the iPad:
open iTether
should see an option to turn the daemon ON, do this
you should your iPhone pop-up. Tap to connect
Your iPad will attempt to connect via BT to the iPhone and receive an IP address.
Open up safari and head to www.whatismyip.com and you should get an address that is associated with your phone’s network provider.
Make sure you turn off Bluetooth and WIFI on the iPad. I believe iTether uses its own BT stack or something similar to connect, so the bluetooth on/off functionality is called within iTether.

As of this morning, Centrebet’s odds on forming a minority government:
1.66 ALP
2.12 COALITION
According to the ABC, it looks like it’s still set for a 73/73 tie, but the independents that appeared last night on the 7.30 Report and Q&A seem to be suggesting they will lean towards the ALP’s NBN and climate change policies.

A continuing thread for anyone who ever visits Boston and gets a chance to visit the Boston Civic Hall. The Democratic Party mascot – the ass – sits outside.
