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!
Anyone want to design a website for me in exchange for a share of the (probably never materializing) profits?
It would need to be a blog with a tip jar where the tips could be earmarked.
I'm probably craxy but I think this could be Julie & Julia... with

edit: if you're interested, I should be able to send you a very rough idea of what the blog will look like during the first week (complete with the intriguing first entry!) by about 9pm board time tonight.
Jon, that's exactly what I'm going to do. I did a bunch of research, and you guys were so helpful. It's doing exactly what I need it to do.
Erin, I actually like google voice and I think the app interface with my phone works well. But I just wanted to mention that the first time someone calls it asks them to say their name. I thought it would be off-putting to my clients so I paid fo a separate line. YCustomersMV, of course.

I also have the occasion to block callers due to spam, or repeated wrong numbers.
It is not easy to search your GV contacts for those you have set up special rules for, so I make note of it in the "notes" area of the contact, so I can search on that if I need to change/remove a call rule later.
you can have Google Voice turn off this feature.
You can even have it on for some people and off for others (using Groups).
Why do I always read the comments on things like that?
Never read the comments! Have we taught you nothing?
