To understand that title, you have to know that I’m nowhere close to a cyber geek , or even a guy that really has a clue about websites. Strange then that I list web designer in my “career” list on our handy dandy About page. How does that work?
Alright, when I last updated you guys, I was finishing out my last week after having quit my job. They let me go Wednesday after we finished the biggest job we had in production and I took the rest of the day to celebrate. I gotta tell you, it feels really good to quit your job, you should try it sometime! (I guess now is about the time I should tell you that Hijinks Inc. does not take any responsibility for any advice you take from this blog)
I was checking my usual sites today and stumbled across this great article over on Lifehacker. Sounds like a very cool, and fairly inexpensive way to make yourself an incredible Media Center. Check it out!
Transform Your Classic Xbox into a Killer Media Center
If I didn’t just get a Media Center of my own (thanks again Aaron) I’d definitely look into this. Add in the functionality of being able to mod your Xbox and save all those games illegally and you really start to feel a little like a pirate. Add in a peg leg and don’t shower for about a month and you’d be good to go!
That’s right ladies and gentlemen, you read that correctly. I’ve embarked on the journey of becoming the ultimate housewife. Ultimately, this path will lead to becoming a stay at home dad, but I don’t feel the need to expound on that portion of the experience. I hope to use this as a sort of guide to starting your own business, learning how to help out around the house, and becoming a more “well rounded” individual (that’s what my wife says it’s called).
Today, I present to you, in it’s entirety, the quick and easy (mild case of nerdiness required) way to rock the free internet scene with your cell phone.
And now, after building up your hopes… I shall cruelly dash them against the sharp rocks below! Here’s what you’ll need to get this to work.
Note: Verizon ships its phones with dial-up networking disabled, due to the fact they are jerks. To enable it, enter ##DIALUP on your phone. That’s ##342587. You’ll need to type it in as quickly as possible for it to work. The phone will show a confirmation once you’ve successfully enabled dial-up networking. As logic would dictate, doing this again will disable your new found dial-up networking. This only works with older versions of the firmware, so if you have a newer phone with current firmware you’re out of luck (unless you want to downgrade your firmware).
