Which phone?
It's a Virgin LG Rumor Touch
I was annoyed that Virgin came out with an Android phone a month after I bought this one. But the phone works fine otherwise....
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What OS is that?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I run Opera mini on my LG Rumor 2 and haven't had problems.

I don't know - I assume something proprietary.
After poking about on my phone, it turns out I was using the default browser - I've downloaded Opera Mini 5.1 but it turns out I wasn't running it. It's installing itself now.

Is that a proprietary OS too, Dana?
It's just..this is the second Android phone I've had give me connection problems after installing Opera. It's frustrating.

I...guess the OS is proprietary? This where my knowledge of cell phone workings ends.

Huh. Opera Mini displays b.org much better than the default browser. But scrolling (by dragging on the screen) is slower. Any way around this? It's tedious to scroll through 25 posts....

OK, now I'll have to go to the pizza place with the borderline reception and see if Opera Mini locks up like the other browser does. I'll probably do that tomorrow.

PDFpen Lets You Sign and Fill Out PDFs Print-Free
Mac: PDFpen is a smart and simple application that helps you fill out and sign PDFs without printing anything, perfect for times you have to fill out a little paperwork. No more print, sign, scan, then email.
...
PDFpen is available as a free demo, but all PDFs saved with the trial will be waterstamped. That's good enough for a lot of paperwork (it's the version I use), but if you need it waterstamp-free, the $60 version removes the waterstamp.
