how handy 0

I’m glad I discovered how to pair my phone last night, because my wi-fi died today and the wireless router is in a room that my grandma locked up to go on her cruise. I guess I’ll have to survive on EDGE until Saturday or so. Well, worse things have happened. I’m sucking up major bandwidth from T-Mobile. It’s payback for not using my data plan excessively.

oh my GAWD!!! 0

I just got Internet sharing working via Bluetooth on my T-Mobile Dash.

Okay, this might seem esoteric, but now no matter where I am if I get cell service and I have a laptop, I can pair the laptop with my phone and use the phone’s EDGE (cell-tower based Internet) for the computer. I am actually posting this using my phone’s Internet connection connected to my Mac Mini.

This is so damn incredible! It was the latest Mac OS update, 10.4.9, that made it possible. I am in LOVE with my Dash now. And I absolutely NEED a laptop, because now I have data access ANYWHERE, even where there’s no wi-fi! W00t!
