T610 and WAP Security

I’m spending the weekends researching options on WAP security with my Sony Ericsson T610. I signed up a plan with T-Mobile with its T-Zones, which supports GPRS for web browsing, email, SMS and MMS. T610 also supports Bluetooth and IR connectivity. Using Bluetooth is really easy, there’s nothing to configure other than turn on the Bluetooth. Setting up IR with a PC is more challenging since it involves with PC and modem driver issue. I’m gonna get a Bluetooth USB adapter instead.

While playing with the phone, I found that the four trusted CA certificates were gone for reason unknown. I did do a master reset after changing many settings. Trying to figure out how to install trusted CA certificates looks impossible. I found no useful information on Google, Sony Ericsson and T-Mobile sites. Calls to the T-Mobile tech support were not helpful either.

I can not connect to T-Zones with security turned on. With security turned off, browsing web works, but I can not login into passort site, nor any other msn mobile sites such as hotmail and msn messenger.

I start to think that maybe T-Mobile does not support secured T-Zones on its unlimited T-Zones plan. It does have another unlimited T-Zones Pro plan, which supports additional WAP gateway other than T-Mobile’s.

Shadowfax and SOA

SOA has been the buzz word recently. I’m considering to use Shadowfax reference architecture for an inventory project. I like to maintain the capablity of XCOPY in deployment, which would be an issue since Shadowfax does need to intstall some programs that can not be deployed with XCOPY such as Exception and Instrumentation related functionalitites. Any ExterperiseServices related components might need installation program as well. You can get a copy of Shadowfax source code from here.

LFC

This is an illustration Signed Life Ensurance how life insurance industry may grow as middle class grows in China. Recent accounting issue with LFC’s predecessor presents some buying opportunities. There was also a rumor about class action lawsuit related to LFC’s IPO. The prospect of class action lawsuit may push it even lower in the near-term.

ES After Hour Trading

I have been experimenting with after hour trading on CME (9PM-10PM CST). Most of time, it’s range bound in a few points. Liquidity may be an issue if you trade more than 5 contracts. P/L 5 points after commission, not bad at all.
