Maternity photography, part 2!
It seems there has been quite a few ‘Part 2s’ around here lately, why mess up the vibe by calling this blog something else?
So a few month’s back I did a photo shoot with some friends who were having a baby, well long story short the baby’s been born and we had a follow up shoot. Finally, my fault entirely, I’ve finished editing up their photos so I figured I would post a load here for you to peruse.
How To: Install a 3G USB modem on EeePC
I’ve spent the last 3 days hacking around on my Asus EeePC 701 trying to find information on how to install my USB 3G modem, Vodafone 3G to be precise, on it. I was directed to a number of different websites prompting me to download a load of different drivers and all sorts of other stuff the the EeePC.
As it turns out it is really simple, and takes about a minute.
Here’s how (it’d be useful for you to turn on your Asus EeePC now);
- On the ‘Internet’ tab open up the ‘Network’ icon, this will take you to Network Connections
- Click on ‘Create’ to start a new connection
- Select the type of connection, for the 3G USB modem select GSM / 3G (UMTS) / HSDPA, click ‘Next’
- Select Hardware, huawei E-220 /dev/ttyUSB0 and plug the modem into the first (closest to front) USB slot and click ‘Next’
- Network Registration, click on ‘Search’ to find the modem and 3G service. Once you get the list select your provider by clicking on their name and click ‘Next’
- Login Data, select the operator location you’re in, ie. Australia - Vodafone, then click ‘Next’
- Name your connection, ie. Vodafone 3G, and click ‘Next’
- You can now choose for this connection to start at system start, and also when you finish the wizard. It’s up to you but I prefer to start mine manually. Click ‘Finish’ and you’re done
In your Network Connections list you should now have your new 3G USB Modem connection, right click on it and select Connect and after a short period of connection time you will have yourself a 3G USB Modem connection. Go browse the internet, download some emails, chat, etc.
Hopefully your install goes as smoothly as mine did.
Lost Wallet
Earlier today I posted a blog about a little DIY project I was about to start. Well it’s been put on hold..
I got down to Bunnings and had gathered everything I needed to buy to create this project, I walked up to the register and the girl scanned everything, I reached into my pocket to pay and WTF my wallet wasn’t in it!!
I’ve pulled apart my car, I’ve pulled apart my house, I’ve pulled apart my parents, I’ve been back to Bunnings twice, and my wallet is nowhere to be seen..arghhhh.
I’m giving it till 3pm for someone to find it and ring my number that’s in my wallet, if I haven’t heard anything by then it’s time to get on the phone to all the credit card companies, the bank, the private health care company, etc. to cancel everything and have it all re-issued. I’ve then got to find my old drivers license to take down to the RTA to get a new one, I only just renewed my license 2 weeks ago! Arghhhh..
I think I’m going back to my teenage punk years when I had my wallet on a chain, atleast I’m less likely to lose it that way….even if I do look like that kid who has his mittens pinned to him on the first day of school……
