omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'm giving up. Google Sites hates me. I can't get it to recognize an html file, and I'm tired of creating folders and uploading, then moving.

I'm doing limited amounts of screencapping again. Does anyone know of any good free hosting that doesn't suck?

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

I am finding SlideIt incredibly counterintuitive. I don't know what rules Swype follows in order to decide when a space is warranted, but the current SlideIt settings keep putting them in URLs. I'm also going to have to look up how to not capitalise the first letter of a sentence or a field on an ad hoc basis, as well as how to capitalise the second as well as the first.

Never mind the algorithm for decoding my trace coming up dry from time to time. What's that about? Swype almost never doesn't get my word, even if it's the tenth suggestion. It has never offered me nothing.

Grrrr.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, Swype is better. I picked up SlideIt when it was free, but Swype is definitely better. However, I still have the thing where it's all in Spanish and I don't know why. I mean, I reset the actual language bit that had gotten set, so it's stopped suggesting Spanish words, but it still wants me to push Sin and wants to know if I want to agregar my new word into the diccionario.

And I still couldn't do without my physical keyboard.

And your phone's actual language is English? Well, I'm sure you'd have noticed if it weren't.

I'm irritated that Android seems to think my language and my location are related. There are plenty of countries that don't have their own language designation--and I think I should have the freedom to act all UK English wherever I am, without it affecting my shopping preferences in any way.

At least with Swype the dictionary and the keyboard can be separated. but I have no idea how to help you out, Liese.

I'm doing decently well without a physical keyboard on the Nexus, considering I don't have Swype yet. But I am going to re-jigger that. And tappy keyboards are just not a viable option for me at this form factor.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I'm geek enough I feel like I should be able to work it out, but no luck. It happened during an update, I think. I mean, it's not really a problem, in that, I can read enough Spanish to navigate out of it, but it's still odd.

Hey, do any of you have the Verizon iPhone plan? Now that I've left my company, am thinking of switching to Verizon specifically due to much better coverage at my residence (I will be working out of my home office now) but I don't know about going back to CDMA. I'd love to hear firsthand reports.

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

That's what I have. What would you like to know?

Our wings are not tired.

How is it with the no multi-tasking, for one? And I can research this but I recall when I had Sprint and it was CDMA, it wasn't any good out of the country. Have you traveled out of country with yours? Any frustration with Verizon? Thanks, Cass!

javachik, are you keeping the old phone but company just isn't paying for it anymore? Or did they take the phone back? If you're keeping the old one, you could just get it unlocked and use that one for foreign travels with new SIM cards?
