Last night I finally got around to try tethering my iPhone to my Macbook Pro.  I first tried to do it via an SSH tunnel.  It mostly worked but I seemed to be experiencing the DNS BIND issues that the iPhone has.  Take a look at Jay Freeman’s article on the subject.

I finally tried the 3proxy method and it seems to work. Here’s a link to cre.ations.net which is one of a couple sites that have outlined the process.  Like others have experienced, it really SUCKS the battery dry   I also had a bad and I mean bad crash that took three hard boots and about 15 minutes to get my phone running again.  This is the cost for being bleeding edge and yes version 2.0 of the iPhone software is REALLY buggy.

Tonight I decided to try to jailbreak my phone.  I’ve got to say that it’s not that hard thanks to a dedicated group of people known as the iPhone DEV Team.  I used the Lifehacker site for guidance.  I’ve since added the NES Emulator to the phone and have been able to ssh into it and poke around.

I just did my first code hack to the WordPress MU. I updated the code to allow for comments to be automatically approved when being posted my a subscriber. Here’s the article talking about the hack. Comments Hack
