Buffistas

Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

I feel so geeky and up-to-the-minute: I ordered my iPhone 4s last night, and Pete is on the phone with the (very nice!) AT&T person ordering his and changing my plan to a family plan.

This means Pete will start texting. And possibly stop complaining about people texting instead of calling.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The complaining is a FEATURE, not a bug.

Our wings are not tired

I ordered my 4S last night as well.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Awesome.

Even better.

I am using TimeMachine while setting up my new computer. It is mid-process but seems like it is actually working. Whew. Now I just hope I backed up recently enough. My new backup will be wireless and still Time Machine. I learned my weaknesses.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thanks to this thread reminding me, I went and ordered a 4S this morning. My first iPhone, I am excited!

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

Has anyone here used Viber? My sister and I have been having voice quality issues with Skype recently, and a co-worker recommended Viber. It seems cool so far, but I'm trying to use the same phone number on my Touch as on my phone, and I think I'm confusing things.

ita ! I just wanted to chime in on Viber. I use it and as long as I'm connected to my home wifi it works really well to someone else connected to their home wifi. I thought it was only iPhone to iPhone, but maybe it's smart phone to smart phone? It does use my iPhone number and it maintains the same contact list adding a viber number to those who have the app.

I've learned it does not work well over my 3G connection. I use the text function to send texts to my cousins in Denmark all the time.

(2) back up computer

Do this!

OMG, mine worked. Which means two things. One, I have my stuff back. Two, I still kinda need to clean up my stuff. But I am just too happy to have it back to care.

Time to set up the wireless backup now. I got lucky mine was recent enough, I know that. Because I slack at connecting external drives. Whooooooo! My stuff.

The new trackpad confuses me.
