ita,
I love me some google voice, but I use it in a somewhat limited fashion. I give out my GV number and I don't have to give out my private cell phone number or home phone. I also like to chat via google chat (in gmail) given att coverage at my house is a nightmare.
You probably need to check your notifications. I have email notifications set for voicemail and texts, and then in gmail I use filters to forward such notifications to my phone. You could have it sent directly or not.
I also like that I can block callers (so they hear a "this number if not in service") message. I get spam calls on the phone number and putting them in a spam group is incredibly satisfying.
So I can get a Google voice number and keep my normal numbers, right? I'm kinda disconcerted by how much change I wrought without paying attention in the first place.
I'm assuming I can get a GV number that will ring both at home and my cell, right? Is this contradictory any with having Google Voice Lite which is what it seems I have right now? This is all very confusing. I need more chocolate.
yes. you are supposed to give out your GV number and it can ring whichever phones you want (or not ring at all and go straight to voicemail).
Hey iphone, ipod touch people (and ipad): a new game from the makers of Pocket Frogs!
Tiny Tower. It is fun fun fun.
Why is Firefox suddenly preventing b.org from automatically reloading, and giving me a pop-up message telling me so every time I try to refresh it myself? I haven't changed any settings.
Oh never mind. I did change a setting, not realizing the effect it would have. All better now.
finally convinced it to run everything as an admin, so we've reached a truce of sorts.
Ginger, please tell me how you did this because it is a huge peeve of mine.
also, can anyone tell me how i can get the refresh button back on the stupid new Firefox?
In FF4, refresh is on the url box, on the far right, that little curvy arrow.
If you want it back to in front of the address bar, you can customize (right-click on some empty space of that tool bar, like at the very right part of it and select customize). When you customize, the refresh button will appear separated from the url box and you can move it in front. It'll become a normal button then.
yeah, i know it's there, flea, but i want my button back.
I did that with a few other buttons, Gud, but Refresh isn't listed.
Oh, sorry, tiggy. It took me about 2 weeks to notice it there!
