Tech Updates

• I thought the reason my phone was running out of juice two minutes into a call was because it never got to fully charge at home since I was also using it constantly as a 3G modem. Turns out it is the battery that can no longer hold a charge. 2 months of continuous duty as a modem while being charged have fried it. I bought a new one and suddenly I have a normal phone again.
  
  
• "So how would you rank the actual work done to connect your phone line?" the man of the survey firm for British Telecom asks.
  -- "So what's the worst you got?"
  "Very unsatisfied."
  -- "Yeah that."
  "Next question: how many people did you tell about the experience?"
  -- "About 12. No, wait. About 250."
  "That's the highest I have ever filled out."
  -- "Internet, man."
  
  
• Ok, so I have a built-in iSight. Now what do I do with it? Seems that since the meta-chat client Adium doesn't support it, I can't actually chat over all the systems with it unless I install 4 different chat clients and skype. Nuh-uh.
  
  
• I can has DEL key? SRSLY, where is it?
