Don’t use O2 mobile software. just use USB modem with dialup networking

What a crapy O2 software  which will spoil  all your wifi  connections home page and proxy setting etc. I like to keep things simple

so here is the setting after connecting the sim card to the modem just plug it in let windows install it as  a modem

go to network connections click create new connections give a name eg O2 PayG  select the correct usb modem O2’s case HUAWEI mobile connect 3G modem

on the number column type :-  *99#
user name put O2web
password just password

click finish,  make sure don’t make it a default connection (unless you want that to be)

then open your browser  type https://mobilebroadbandaccess.o2.co.uk/index/products enter the phone no of the sim (which will be on the sticker of the sim card)  buy the credit and enjoy.

This setting will work with linux macs and any ver of windows (if their is driver support)

Amazon Kindle DX

It’s bit pricey at the moment but I can think of many reason to have this in home. Read the newspapers all my rss feeds etc on one place for every one in the family to read.

I wont buy it till the price come down to £100 or some subsidise services  we’ll see

blackberry 8900

I ended up having blackberry 8900 (with all Google apps.) works fine love it.  To get HTC magic I have to go with Vodafone  so I phoned up O2 to get a PUC code. They gave me a deal I can’t refuse. They even gave me a free USB payg mobile broadband dongle.  O well why pay more just to have a google phone. I installed all the google apps and it does look like gphone now 😀

Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems

Issue

Adobe Flash Player is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser. However, you can run Flash Player in a 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit operating system.

Reason

Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following Flash Player 10.

Solution

To use Flash Player to view Flash content on a 64-bit operating system, youmust run a 32-bit browser.

Spam bots

Spam bots don’t give up do they. They should have known by now doesn’t matter how much they try their post is not going to appear on my page. Looks like that won’t stop them from trying.
I’m just going through and closing the comment in my old post. I have to learn on how this bots works so I can fool them even more.
