The BlackBerry Curve As A Bluetooth Modem On Ubuntu

It turned out to be extremely easy to use the BlackBerry Curve’s tethered modem support from Ubuntu. This allows the device’s dial-up networking capabilities to be used to access the internet. This will work with either a Bluetooth or USB connection. The instruction for using Bluetooth can be found here.

Unfortunately my BlackBerry is a corporate phone and using the tethered modem costs an extra $15 per month. So I’m out of luck at least for now.

Northeastern Ohio Tech Book Club

A new book club for Northeastern Ohio techies has been formed. The idea, first proposed on Twitter by Corey Haines, is to get together on a regular basis to discuss and debate some book. If your a techie, you like to read and your in the area then consider joining. Details are still TBD.

Our first book will be Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship by Robert C. Martin. Our first meeting will be soon!
