Instalar Modem 3G Claro no OS X Lion

mw — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 17:09:00 +0000

Sabe o que mais admirava no Steve Jobs? O ponto de vista do “it just works”.

A Claro, ou Huawei, alguém, não pensa do mesmo jeito no Brasil.

Estou num café baixando drivers do Huawei E226 para fazer esta joça funcionar no mac com Lion, e eis o que descobri até agora:

O driver na página de suporte da Huawei para Macs é um .exe (WTF?)
Provavelmente não vai funcionar
Não existem páginas em português sobre o assunto

Por isso estou escrevendo este post. No momento estou baixando dois drivers, um da operadora 3 de UK que parece ter funcionado para algumas pessoas, de 7.4MB, e outro do 4shared (valha-me) de 14MB. Tudo isso para ter no meu network panel o bendito HUAWEI Mobile e com isto criar uma nova interface.

Quase terminando de baixar… Por incrível que pareça o de 14MB está descendo mais rápido, provavelmente será o primeiro.

Ok. O patacão de 14MB tem uns drivers em 32 bits que não funcionam e um monte de PDFs, useless…

O instalador da operadora de UK parece mais promissor. Abriu um assistente da “3″ mas me permitiu escolher um Custom provider…

Vou verificar se aparece o Huawei no Network Setup antes de continuar… Aparecem 2 entradas. Mas já que estou neste wizard, vamos ver o que ele faz…

Depois de me bater um pouco procurando Telephone Number, me liguei que na VIVO era *99#, então tentei o mesmo.

senha = claro

Feito isso, botei para conectar, desliguei o wifi e… voila! Estou terminando de escrever o POST na rede 3G.

Agora vou começar o processo de limpeza…

Na pasta do 3Connect tem um Uninstaller, mas sou capaz de apostar que ele vai tirar o driver também, então vou pelo AppCleaner. Apareceram os arquivos abaixo, conectado vou tentar remover todos (se ele tentar remover o driver, imagino que vá causar um erro e abortar)

Arquivos removidos, continuo na internet. Sucesso.

Removi uma outra entrada no Network Panel, Além do modem. Nada gritou nem quebrou. Feeling good so far.

Vou considerar done. Levou mais tempo que eu esperava, algo em torno de 30 minutos incluindo as buscas… mas agora funciona.

Boa sorte, quem ler este.

The cool thing about being google is that they can hire some smart heads to invent things.

The iPhone keyboard is the best alternative so far, but wouldn’t be a better way to input data onto a mobile device than having to use a miniature keyboard? Welcome to 8pen. At least looks very promising…

Acessando Dropbox por Proxy

mw — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 14:00:36 +0000

Dropbox é muito bom. Podes criar várias pastas sincronizadas com N computadores, começando com 2GB grátis (podendo a chegar a 8GB com recomendações) compartilhar pastas, tem a pasta pública disponível ao mundo, onde para copiar o link basta um right click… realmente impressionante. Mas dependendo as configurações de proxy que estejas usando, não há como acessar os arquivos. Não havia.

Existem vários proxys abertos não muito divulgados, e a partir deles pode-se acessar o site da dropbox. Só que ao listar os arquivos, provavelmente por ser um JS que renderiza a lista, não funciona. Aparece em branco. Solução? Usar a versão mobile do dropbox.

Exemplo:

Entre em http://www.theopenproxy.net/
Na caixa de URL, digite a versão segura mobile do dropbox: https://dropbox.com/m
Entre o seu usuário e senha

E pronto! Todos os arquivos disponíveis.

Melhor Captcha

mw — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:04:03 +0000

Eis o captcha que mais me agrada. Não é completamente infalível, mas isso dá pra contornar transformando a operação em uma imagem com ruído. O que gosto é que além de prevenir bots, exige que o utilizador esteja sóbrio e não seja um chimpanzé… Só acho que a operação poderia envolver pelo menos dois dígitos. J

The Daily Mail’s Robots.txt File Contains… an SEO Job Advert(!?)

The robots.txt file on any site is how search engines discover what a site wants indexed and what it doesn’t.

Generally you won’t find many people checking the files unless they’re technically minded, passionate about SEO and curious. The Daily Mail of all sites thought it would be an ingenious idea to place a job advert in the file and SEO consultant Malcolm Coles discovered it…

What ever happened to common courtesy?

Upon updating Facebook’s iPhone app last night, the first thing I immediately noticed was Pull to Refresh, the awesome UI Element created by Loren Brichter for Tweetie 2. We fell in love with this element the second Tweetie 2 hit app store, so we re-created it and open sourced it for everyone to use…

“I remember telling David Filo in late 1998 or early 1999 that Yahoo should buy Google, because I and most of the other programmers in the company were using it instead of Yahoo for search. He told me that it wasn’t worth worrying about. Search was only 6% of our traffic, and we were growing at 10% a month. It wasn’t worth doing better…”

How to use Google Chrome to simulate an iPhone Safari

mw — Thu, 27 May 2010 14:38:47 +0000

If you want to look how a test (or any other site) will behave in an iPhone safari from the comfort of your Desktop, do the following steps:

Windows 7

In Windows Explorer, go to
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\
Create a link to chrome.exe (right click, Create Shortcut)
Alter the target property in this shortcut:

From: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

To: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3"

I use the Web Developer extension, so I can resize my window to iPhone’s defaults (320×480 or 480×320)
