This program has been so helpful to me in this PSN downtime that I thought I should share it with others.
The gist is that this program is able to use the computer's wireless card to act as a wireless access point.
I don't even know how they did it. Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista & 7) currently only allows the creation of "ad hoc" networks, meaning temporary hotspots that only other computers programmed for "ad hoc" capabilities can see these networks and share internet/files via wireless.
This might have been fine and dandy if my PS3 could see this "ad hoc" network, but it can't.
What this program does is to broadcast your current connection from your physical LAN cable via your wireless card, turning your computer into an ACTUAL wireless access point. Amazing.
Go to the website, it explains places where it might be useful. Places like hotels which only provide free internet via a LAN cable, leaving wireless devices lonely.

How does it help me in this PSN crisis?
Well, I finally gotten fed up with Sony Japan for not turning up their servers (side note: why a asian server affect my Canadian PSN account is beyond me, only guess is that they IP lock countries currently assessing it)
I went forward and subscribed to a VPN which offered Canadian servers (OverPlay if you're interested). Unfortunately my router is exactly like the model they offer with Bell in Canada, and there was no way to program the VPN within the router. What I did was download their VPN software which worked to tunnel my traffic on my computer ... But how do I get the PS3 to go through the same thing...
I searched a bit online and found this youtube video:
I figured if the program can broadcast 3G internet to the PS3 via the computer, it should tunnel the VPN traffic as well. I was not disappointed.
Oh also, its also free.

联络
有时候想说话的时候没有人倾听
不想说话的时候却有人愿意听了
网络让许多人都变得疏远, 像隔着一层隔音玻璃, 或者对着墙壁说话
怎么说怎么听
当一个人在一百公里以外, 在别的省市, 在地球的另一端
但是... 我在说我在听吗?
这应该就是寂寞
妈妈你要好起来!

2010
Procrastination sets in. I wanted to write this sooner, but things or laziness always gets in the way.
2010 came and gone.
I graduated.
I moved back to a place I was familiar with. But it wasn't all that familiar in the end.
Life moves on. Still a lot more time left to go.
Oh, I have 微博 now. http://t.sina.com/returners

Chapter 5.3 End
Chapter 5.3
I'm fallen into a lull, I know what I want to write but... I don't really know how to go about doing it.
These days I've been meeting friends, doing chores, packing, meeting friends., learning to drive. I guess I want to make my life as productive as I can.
I was looking through the photos I've taken, well, those that I still have all these years. Pictures of places I've been, food I've eaten... and most importantly people I've met and loved.
It was then I realize just how fragile relationships can be, and no, I'm not even talking about love.
Friends that were with you a year ago might be accquaintances now. People that call you their "best friend" might not answer your messages. There are people who just fade out simply because of the distances between them and you. People move on, including me.
Regardless, I've made some shitty choices and in turn burnt a lot of bridges. Most of them was me being scared and running away from them, that was my defense mechnism from people that I couldn't face anymore.
For that, I'm sorry.
I like to think that I've done all I wanted to do, at least those I can think of.
Up the CN tower, watched a few Blue Jays games, watched one Raptors game, watched no leafs game, went to lakeshore, went to Eaton centre, stood outside the AGO, went to chinatown, went to koreantown (yonge & finch), laughed at the thought of going to the children's musuem.
Failed a course, 100 a course, 80 a course playing Pokemon in the back. Not paying a library fine for 2 years. Overnight in DC, overnight in MC.
I thank all my friends, my close friends, my accquaintances.
Tomorrow marks the start of something new. 5 chapters, 5 years.
See you guys on the other side.
