Took my iPad into the store this weekend, the camera wasn't working. They gave me a new one. Relatively painless, but they don't have screen protectors in the store, so I have to buy a new one. Kinda shitty that I'm out $30. And I will bet that this happens to everyone who has to get an iPad replacement.

Now that I'm pretty much only using Linux at work, I'm finding that I'm digging Gnome 3. It's cool they've done something that's not really like Windows or OS/X.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have CenturyLink for my phone, and they're fine as long as I don't have any problems... but they are expensive. I'm thinking of switching to Vonage. I'm leery of trusting my phone service to Comcast.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Has anyone here used Graboid. I followed a couple...interesting links (no, not like that. Stop it.) that asked me to install it. Their web page is less than informational.
The web seems to be saying use it, don't use them...their own web site's testimonials are some of the weakest sauce that ever got sauced...I don't even know.

Hey. New board.
Zenkitty, I used comcast for a voice for a year and had no problems. Their voicemail service is actually pretty good, and will e-mail you when you have a voicemail or notify you through their (admittedly kind of crashtastic) Android app (and, I assume, iOS equivalent). Only dropped it because we weren't really using it very much at all.
ita ! and ND - what filesystem does your Time Machine NAS use on the hard drive? My airport extreme got fried, and I'm replacing it with a much cheaper Asus router that does DD-WRT. I've got it set up, but I have to reformat my connected drive from HFS+ to either FAT32 or ext3 for DD-WRt support and I'm wondering which will be more reliable on Time Machine backup over SMB. If either.

I would think ext3 would be better, being a journaling file system. Ext4 would be better yet if it's supported.

My laptop is making little staticky sounds when I scroll on my scroll pad. That's bad, right?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have an iPhone 4g. The calendar is synced with my work outlook exchange server. I am a delgate of 2 faculty members. I am receiving meeting requests sent to them on my iPhone as though they are being sent to me personally, not as a delegate. My bosses' names do not appear in the request at all, I am listed as the invitee. It is really confusing because I keep think I am being invited to meetings and I am not.
I have tried googling and my IT department, but I am the first support staff membe to get an iPhone and sync

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ooh, I want one of those for winter biking. In NYC in the summer, I'd rather have a ventilated helmet than a scarf.
[edit: Also I just did the currency conversion and it's $500. Yikes! Maybe it will be cheaper when it comes to the US.]
