Tethering

I was messing around with my phone, tapping here and there, downloading this and that, messing up some stuff, you know, the usual. And I was near my laptop. I usually mess around with my phone when I'm not near a computer. So I came to a menu in my phone that says "Tethering and portable hotspots". I had seen it before, I knew I had to test it out someday...and that day was today. (Blogger is being difficult and won't let me put a link in a word...so I'll just link to the Tethering Wikipedia article in here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering)

I thought it was going to be a pain in the ass to set it up cause I've heard horror stories about it. But nope, it was painless. First I tried tethering, I just plugged my phone to my computer via USB, tapped on a checkbox in my phone that says "USB tethering" and that's it. I now was connected to the internet on my computer through my phone's 3G.

The Wi-Fi connection in my house is 'Valencia'. You can even see I'm connected through a wired connection in the icon.

 Next, creating a hotspot. Equally as easy. Just choose my connection name and password, tick the checkbox that says "Mobile AP", and boom! My phone is now a wireless hotspot (named Sergio). I connected my laptop and Diego's phone to it to test it out, and it worked perfectly :D.

Having two adjacent connections called "Sergio" and "Valencia" was totally coincidental :P

On a different note, apparently Facebook really misses Mari's alter ego Supermari... I couldn't tag her by typing her name, I had to actually write '@supermari' for Facebook to know who I was talking about haha.

Note: I, myself, don't even know why I didn't take shots with my laptop instead of taking the pics with my phone...I guess I forgot at the moment that the computer could do that...
