Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

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

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.

Anyone here use a widget or third-party code to include a blog feed on your website? If so, who do you use? Feedburner includes a logo I can't get rid of, and Feed Informer can't decipher diacritics correctly in I.E., so I'm at a loss. Any recommendations?

ETA: Ok, I figured out how to remove the Feedburner logo, but it has other issues, so, still need suggestions for a replacement.

Anyone have any idea why my iTunes won't sync my new ringtones? They appear in iTunes, but not on the iPhone.

I don't know but you can no longer sync podcasts as playlists. You can put them into playlists in iTunes but they won't sync over that way to my iPod. Maybe it's something similar.

I'm on the verge of updating my phone to iPhone 4. But I have OS-X 10.4.11. Am I going to have to update my Mac as well?
