Thing-O-Matic Parts Delayed by Mail Bomb Terrorism
Fuck!
Stupid terrorists - messing with my fun....

Then, like a cruel slap to the face, we learned about the shipping delay on our super awesome custom Z-stage motors. Our super special custom made Z-stage motors are currently being held somewhere between Hong Kong and customs in Cincinnati. Sam, our supply chain manager, is working hard to find out when that shipment will be released to us, but we don’t have any hard information at this time.
I hate it when I order things and they come late. Because we have a little extra time, we’ve organized a little treat to go in each box for each Thing-O-Matic Customer. It’s not much consolation, but it’s all we can do as we wait for the final parts to reach us so we can send them on to you!
Ooh - free treat!
Oh yeah, I meant to respond in Natter, but my short term memory is shot. I also use La Crosse and really like them, although I also don`t have the rain gauge. Definitely make sure you get the kind that is self-emptying.
Anyone use Opera on a phone? Sometime, Opera stops going to new pages and I have to close Opera and start it again to get it to work. This happens after as little as five minutes of use. But it might just be the phone.
Two issues--one, I just dropped my iPhone while it was plugged in, and now it won't charge (wall or computer) and when I plug in the charger says "this device is not optimized for iPhone". WTF? Am I going to have to buy a new one??
Also, even if it works again--work is cracking down on USB drives and mp3 Players. So, I need a way other than direct synching to match my outlook calendar and my phone calendar.
Eta: thankfully, the apple store is right down frommy hotel, and a quick trip to the genius bar later, it seems to be the charger tlratjer than the phone. Yay! Still open to calendar suggestions though.
iCal is bitching at me. It refuses to synch with Google. Since this is also my Android phone, it's a bit of a deal for me. I know the credentials are good, and the software is presenting the server information, and it says the user name and password are bad, but I can use them to log into the web interface. It's finding the caldav server www.google.com, and then no joy. Anyone have any ideas? I also try the google option and that doesn't work either.
I'm curious too about that Gateway. Following my netbooks death, my PC is showing symptoms of imminent death. I should be getting a check soon, if you see a good deal on a desktop or full service laptop, please let me know.
Thanks

Er by full service laptop I mean with memory processor and disk such that one can hook up a regular montior and keyboard mouse and use it as main PC.
ical syncs with google? Like google calendar? Like if I get an ical I can add it to my google calendar?
