If you have been having problems finding your Personal Hotspot Wifi from your iPhone after the slew of updates recently, here is how I managed to fix it.

Ok, so let's be clear, this is not about finding how to enable it, or if your cellular carrier allows you to use it, but rather, that you used to be able to find your phone in the list of Wifi hotspots, and now when you switch it on, you can't find it.

Not all the steps are necessary, but they worked for me:

• Rename your phone to something without spaces or strange characters: Settings - General - About - Name
• Reset your network settings (your phone will reboot): Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings
• Restart your Personal Hotspot from Network (not from the main screen): Settings - General - Network - Personal Hotspot

I hope this helps!

CFCamp this year was again, a great event! Some awesome presentations from everyone that presentend!

I did promise to post my JQuery Mobile and PhoneGap presentation as soon as, so here you go!

Had a total blast today, I highly recommend this condensed conference! It's a total brain filler!

Since I upgraded my iPhone 3G (not 3GS) to Apple's iOS4 it has been running slow, and that is to put it mildly. It has been so slow I barely wanted to use  the damn phone! 

Reading a thread in the Apple Discussion Forums, I realised, like most things, when you simply upgrade software there is a bunch of detritus left behind, so following the post, I simply reset the phone through iTunes to factory settings, once done, I went and upgraded my carrier info (which it prompts you to do) and then restored it from the backup (that I made earlier) 

Voila, it is now running pretty snappily again. Joy!
