Hey - cell phone question here. I want to sell my old one on eBay, but I can't figure out how to make it not "mine" anymore. I've deleted all my contacts and pictures, and reset the preferences back to the default, but I can't find anywhere that tells me how to detatch it from my phone number (or delete the ringtones I added, though that's less of an issue). Any advice on how to do a hard reset on an LG VX6100?
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I belive that it is something that your carrier has to do, at the same time you get your new phone activated.

Huh -- my new phone IS activated, but my old one still lists my number under the "location" menu. Guess I'd better call Verizon. Ick.

It's great! Do you know of any way to make the blinking light not blink anymore? I realize that it's helpfully telling me about the status of the battery, but I'd love to be able to turn that off.

On the 700p, I can clear the blinking light by holding down the middle button. I don't know how it works on the 650.

Hey. New board.
There's a free utility somewhere called LEDOff, Jessica. Google it or search handango.com or your preferred palm OS software site. I can't live without it.

I saw that program mentioned a couple other places -- I think I'll give it a try.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fun for geeks:
My neighbours are stealing my wireless internet access. I could encrypt it or alternately I could have fun.
Displays iptables entry that will redirect all traffic to kittenwar. Or else:
For more fun, we set iptables to forward everything to a transparent squid proxy running on port 80 on the machine.
/sbin/iptables -A PREROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1
That machine runs squid with a trivial redirector that downloads images, uses mogrify to turn them upside down and serves them out of it's local webserver.
