$ sudo bash
# cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleWWANSupport.kext/Contents
Change Info.plist to add the USB id of your modem, like in the patch.
then
# cd ../../AppleWWANSupport1.kext/Contents
and change Info.plist
there as well, like in the patch.
Your modem USB id may be different, just attach it and see in (top left of menubar) Apple/About this Mac/Hardware/USB.. convert vendor and product id to decimal.
Photo manipulation tips: Imagemagick
17 January, 2009 - 00:44 — शंतनूCanon A-series cameras produce photos which are of aspect ratio 4:3. To
convert this to 8"x12" @ 300dpi (aspect ratio 3:2, 3600 x 2400),
- create a white jpeg of 3600x2400 in the current directory, called
white.jpg
convert IMG_1234.JPG -resize 3600x2400 -size 3600x2400 xc:white +swap
-gravity center -composite resized/IMG_1234.JPG
.. and save yourself 10 bucks. This will create white bars on the sides
to maintain aspect. If you're smart, you'll change the gravity so that
you get a large white bar on the left. This is useful to punch holes and
file the photos :)
Iterinary for Ladakh Bike Trip
22 May, 2008 - 10:00 — शंतनूAs suggested by Amit and Sharnindar
Please note that i have taken each item mentioned in the list(even the optional ones). That is because I was travelling alone. However, as you guys are in a group, you can share certain spares or other stuff as they may be common across bikes/people. Do not overload the bikes. The idea is to have fun while we are on a mission and not to mess up things. Wish you all a happy and safe riding and enhanced bonding :).
Things to take
Bike Spares
Headlamp/tail lamp bulb
Spark plug
Fuse
