Optus Tethering on iPhone OS 3.1.2
There is now a simple way to enable tethering on the iPhone 3G/3Gs using Optus without paying extra. Now if you do happen to get charged I take no responsibility.
Your iPhone must be JailBroken. Add http://apt.iphone-storage.de as a source in Cydia, then search for Tethering and install the one corresponding to your iPhone (Tethering 3G – 3.1.2 or Tethering 3GS – 3.1.2).
Once installed, reboot then open Safari and navigate to http://justynsmith.info/mobileconfig/au_optus.mobileconfig and install the mobileconfig file. Once installed you should be able to go to Settings > General > Networking > Tethering (on/off).

SLiM – Simple Login Manager
I recently swapped from GDM to SLiM on my EeePC running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 and decided to make a nice simple theme for it which you can download.
SLiM - crackware theme
SLiM is exactly that, a Simple Login Manager and it lives up to it’s name. Even being as simple as it is, you can still theme it and it has a configuration file which you can edit.
Windows 7 Snap feature in XP & Vista
One of the things I like about Windows 7 is the Snap feature. You can drag a window to the left of the screen, and it will be tiled vertically on the left, same as the right of the screen. If you drag a window to the top of the screen it will be maximised.
There is a nice tool called AeroSnap that enables these features on Windows Vista and XP. Amongst the drag-and-drop window features, it also has the following hotkeys.
- WIN + LEFT ARROW – Snap window to left of screen. Unsnap window on right.
- WIN + RIGHT ARROW – Snap window to right of screen. Unsnap window on left.
- WIN + UP ARROW – Maximise current window.
- WIN + DOWN ARROW – Restore maximised window. Minimise window.

Enable tethering on iPhone 3G & 3Gs 3.1.2
So you want to know how to enable tethering on 3.1.2 well it’s not as hard as you think. You will need access to a version of OS X that has bspatch installed. I’m not sure which version as I’m not a mac fan.
You will need either of these:
You will need to install MobileTerminal (available in Cydia) and also OpenSSH (from Cydia) if you plan to copy the files via SSH. I used i-FunBox just to make it easier.

Favicon, iPhone SpringBoard icon & Archive Widget
I decided to create a favicon and an iPhone SpringBoard icon for my blog, since I have been posting about iPhone related stuff lately. If you visit my blog on the iPhone, bookmark it and add to the Home Screen it should show up as a nice icon there.
On another note I downloaded the Collapsible Archive Widget written by Ady Romantika. I must say that I love the look of the archive’s now as they aren’t taking up the whole page. I would like to say thanks to Ady for writing such a nice plugin.
