T-Mobile is sending my G2 messages telling me I should restart my phone periodically (every week). In fact, it's telling me I'm 25 hours past due. Anyone else get that? WTF?
Not me.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm not getting it either.
Erin, when are you looking to upgrade? Right now, T-Mobile has a lot of their 4G Android smartphones for free.

Coding and Sleeping
Daaaaaamn. I run my Lenovo Ideapad plugged in all the time, and I get about 3.5 hours battery life, give or take.
I spent a little extra to get the biggest, baddest battery Lenovo had available for it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
People who use Windows password vault service/etc--which would you recommend? LastPass or Keeper? No need to bother with KeePass, since it's for my sister, and the complexity would turn her right off.
If there's another easy option I'm missing, I'd love to hear it.
I initially went with LastPass because LifeHacker spoke highly of it, but it's highly browser integrated, and it took forever and technical support for me to make it even open up with the Wi Fi connection dead. However, it natively supplants the password manager on IE, Chrome, and Firefox (poor Opera!), as well as providing a lookup feature. It just doesn't seem to cater much towards passwords that *aren't* for websites, either.
Now I'm exploring Keeper on Windows. It's what I have on my Android devices, so we'll see.

I've been using LastPass for about two months, ita ! It was erratic in how well it imported my passwords from my old password manager, but otherwise seems to work pretty well. It is very web based, as you say.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've been getting dozens of calls every day from a number that shows up only as Blocked/unknown. Sometimes they even leave (empty) voicemails. I accidentally answered it once and there's nobody on the other end. I'm guessing it's some kind of auto dialer gone haywire since I'm pretty sure I don't have a stalker.
Any idea how I can block this? Its already showing up as a blocked number but obviously it's still ringing.

I'm having a real disconnect with an application that wants you to fire up a browser to work even if you don't have an internet connection. It's WEIRD, dammit.

Hey. New board.
I love LastPass, but I only use it for web passwords. I can see how it might suck for other passwords.

I love 1password: it is available for windows, but I use it on the mac and iphone and I really dig it.

Nah, I'm not spending $25 on password software on her for Christmas. It's kind of anticlimactic.
