'Objects In Space'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
eReader + public transit is a beautiful thing. The Kindle, at least, is perfectly designed for easy one-handed reading, perfect for reading while holding on to the overhead rail on trains/buses during rush hour.
I am going to wait a few days to update my iPhone. Now that school is winding down, I don't need to consolidate my inboxes quite as badly as I did two months ago, so I'll let any kinks get worked out before I jump in. Glad to hear it's going well, though. It looks cool.
I am updating right now, and I am excited!

okay...i updated to iOS and now visual voicemail isn't working AND for some reason it's fetching new email even though i have it set to do manually. any suggestions?
So the IT/video conference I'm at this week is giving away an ipad tomorrow. Wish me random-drawing-ma!
Also iPhone battery-ma, since I forgot to bring a charger. (I could conserve power by getting of b.org, but honestly who are we kidding.)
So, with that group, the chances are slim to find someone with a charger to borrow.
I have upgraded. I am happy to provide some tips or suggestions. I did not download the update through itunes, I downloaded it directly from the server.
Some of the games I use are having problems with IOS4 (we rule, godfinger) and gmail exchange does not work well, so I had to add my gmail via imap.
I am thrilled with the "folder" system AND the fact that I can use an external bluetooth keyboard with the iphone. Multitasking isn't really working for most apps right now, but I hope that functionality comes.

FYI:
Google Voice is now open to anyone.
I just set up a second one to be local to my mom's house and forwarded any calls to it directly to our phone here. Now she doesn't have to pay long distance to call us.
I may be subverting the intent.
It seems to me that in Google Voice one could set up a phone number in one's own area, then add numbers to call as choices, and have a single local number to call all one's friends, 1 for Mary, 2 for Sue, 3 for Buffy, 4 for Giles, etc.
Hivemind, please help me. I just helped my mom get a new Macbook and have set it all up and configured it to work just swimmingly, but her Airport Express is generating a single IP address that only one laptop (hers or mine) seems to be able to use at a time. How do I get it to generate a separate IP address for each laptop as it connects? I know how to access the IP addresses and could assign one manually if I knew what number to assign...? Or, better yet, is there a way to just get the AE to do it automatically?
ETA: The warning message I get is the standard "another device on your network is using your computer's IP address," but when I looked at the Airport, the address seems attached to it, not the laptops connecting to it.
