Tethering my tablet to my phone

by at

Used to be that wireless tethering with my carrier was free. Since I purchased my new phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) however, that avenue has been strangled. So when I used my tablet (Asus Nexus 7 – WiFi only) I had to be within range of a convenient WiFi connection. Well, no more of that!

It takes two bits of software. PDANet for Tablets installed on my Nexus 7 and FoxFi installed on my Galaxy S3. Using the Bluetooth protocol, one can surf the web on the Nexus 7 at decent speeds using the S3’s 4G connection. Take that, unnamed carrier!

A couple of people have expressed interest in our desk arrangement in our office here in ASCTech App Dev. Here are some pictures of us in our office.

Just returned from a trip to Washington DC for a week-long course called Washington Campus (more information at http://washingtoncampus.edu.) This was a great experience and really helps you understand  “how Washington works” (their words.)

u.osu.edu was released today!

Well, to Math at least. u.osu.edu is an effort to see if WordPress is a good platform for faculty, staff and students to concoct their web presence. For the uninitiated, this entire site is a WordPress Multisite install hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences. ASCTech and ASCComm worked on this together.
