When working with the cloud a any remote device being able to quickly SSH into a box is important for maintaining focus.

So, I was pleased to find a way to keep putty two clicks away by placing it in the start menu.

Here are the steps I took to keep putty handy.
And an alternate way below if you’re familiar with downloading .exe’s.

1. Download putty.exe

Notice save and the small black arrow next to it?

2. Save it to your download files
3. Go to downloads folder

Now you can navigate to the downloads folder from the downloads bar

4. Right click and select pin to start menu
5. Then right-click -> cut putty.exe from your downloads file and move it someplace more permanent like you’re program files.
6. Go find putty in your start menu!

Alternatively you can also save putty directly to your program files.
1. Download putty.exe
2. When the download bar appears select “save as” under the black arrow next to save.

3. Navigate to your program files.

This is the folder I have chosen for putty

4. Select save.

Here is the save button. Notice the file path. You need to navigate here to find putty in the next step.

5. Open file explorer to the file you saved putty in
6. Right click on putty and select pin to start.
7. Go find putty in your start menu.

You can resize and move the putty icon to your hearts content and never go searching for your SSH client again!

One awesome thing about windows phone is the wide array of commodity phones.

I love the reliability and durability of Nokia and they are pricing phones at ~$50 bucks OFF CONTRACT!

So, essentially you could have a different phone everyday.

It just so happens that some of these phones are only available in non-us markets.

I purchased the Nokia 1320, but it wasn’t configured to pick up MMS messages from AT&T and I found a fix.

As of November 2014 this is what works for me.

1. Settings > cellular+SIM

2. Make sure active network is AT&T and Data Connection is toggled On

3. Tap on SIM settings

4. You can make the SIM name whatever you want

5. Select the highest connection speed

6. Network Selection > Automatic

7. Manual Internet APN > On

8. Tap ‘edit internet APN’

9. Form should read like this: ( ___ is blank )

APN: pta
User name: ___
Password: ___
Authentication Type: PAP
Proxy Server(URL): ___
Proxy port: ___
IP type: IPv4

9. Tap the Save Icon at the bottom

10. Tap ‘edit MMS APN’

11. Form should read like this: ( ___ is blank )

APN: pta
User Name: ___
Password: ___
Authentication type: PAP
WAP gateway (URL): proxy.mobile.att.net
WAP gateway port: 80
MMSC (URL): http://mmsc.mobile.att.net/
MMSC port: 80
Maximum MMS size: 1
IP type: IPv4

12. Tap the Save Icon.

13. Go back and tap on any messages that say “Get media content now (1kb)” to download those missing messages.

I’ll be switching phones again soon, so if I need to make any other adjustments I’ll post again.
