A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Thanks Tom! Does jonb1 have to exist first?

t edit never mind. I just tried it without an mkdir first and it worked great. You're a peach!

Consuela, CompUsa has some good sales ending today.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Repeating Guided Setup on the Tivo finally worked -- the Tivo wasn't happy with the Vonage phone line, so we plugged it into the wall jack (good thing our phone service doesn't shut off until Monday!) and it reset itself swimmingly.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Jessica, Vonage might appreciate some feedback from you about that.

Oh, good idea. I'll shoot them an email.

(So far, this is the only glitch we've had -- I was worried about the reception at first, but it's been great. And I love getting my voicemails emailed to me!)

Our wings are not tired

Yeah, so far Vonage has been working pretty well for me too. I also adore getting my voicemails in my email, it's really nice.

Oh, excellent, Deena. I just found what looks like a decent machine for $500, and they have one in stock at the CompUSA near me. I'm gonna go get changed and buy my sister a computer! Fun!

Yay! They've got some nice rebates... I have the forms currently littering my desk right now.

Oh, and another question before I run out the door.

I took my iPod out for a walk yesterday, and by the end was unpleasantly aware of a random ticking noise I was getting when I left the iPod hanging in my jacket pocket. I didn't get the tickign noise when I carried it in my hand.

There wasn't anything in the pocket for the iPod to hit against -- it seemed to be just the motion that did it.

Has anyone else experienced this? Should I contact Apple? I registered my iPod, but I don't have the receipt (I don't think), as it was a gift. I assume it's under warranty...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Gmail is dead to me! Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead!
