I was falling asleep watching RocknRolla a few nights ago when my dad on his way to bed alerted me that the news was all a flutter with a story about a huge hiring blitz that the FBI is currently going through. He mentioned they specifically mentioned jobs in my field and so forth... He must really want me to move out.

Anyway, after I woke up the next day i went and checked out what exactly they were hiring for to see if it did match what I'm interested in. I did find a position in which I posted my resume for, while not exactly what I want, while I wait to hear back from some contact regarding other possible positions it can never hurt to get another few sets of eyes on my resume. Who knows, maybe I'll be their perfect candidate.

I'll be in Las Vegas from the 25th of this month until the 29th. I'll have my G1 and my Macbook Pro and be very contactable, feel free to drop me an email or contact me if need be. In preparation for this trip I called ahead to the hotel I booked to inquire about their internet offerings. They want 11.99 for 24 hours of unlimited use of their "high speed" wireless. Rather than pay that outrageous fee every day just to do some simple tasks online I researched the tethering "hack" which has been available on the G1, and android, for some time.

Graham Stewart wrote a nifty little application called Tetherbot which you run on the G1. You can then if on Windows or Linux install the G1 USB driver, not necessary on OS X. With a quick download of the Android SDK and a change into the tools directory you'll find the adb app. It's Android Debug Bridge. It allows you to do a variety of things, such as a shell into the phone, or in this case, create a forward of data onto the phone. With this you can create a nice SOCKS5 proxy allowing you to use the phone's data connection. I tested it out briefly on EDGE at my work and it worked pretty good. In Vegas the coverage map shows that I should be able to use 3G, which would be more than adequate for what I'll need to do. 11.99 saved, Thank you Graham.
