Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Ugh, meara, that is some fuckery. I had the opposite experience with T-Mobile. When I went on my road trip down to L.A. a few years ago, I realized I was sending a bunch of texts to coordinate things, so it was cheaper for me to just add messaging for a month rather than get charged individually. When I called, I wasn't sure what I'd be able to do, but the woman not only backdated the messaging plan to the beginning of my billing cycle so that all the texts I'd already used would be covered, she
also
set it so the messaging plan would automatically cancel at the end of that billing cycle. I was astounded.
There was another time when they were giving me free texts for being a loyal user or something, and I asked if I could defer them to July because I didn't need them at the time, but I would use them at Comic-Con, and they totally accommodated me.
Evernote gurus--I'm trying to work out if I can usefully forward from Apple Mail to Evernote. Currently everything's ending up in the main itamoon notebook. I can see where the forwarding rule lets me add text in the body of email, but not the subject, which is how I control the location for Evernote.
Are you achieving that? I'm wondering if I pull out my bills and purchases emails and just make them forwardsers to Gmail and try an IFTTT recipe? Can I do that magic? Or maybe forward more flexibly from Google (and at least serversside? I got a lotta historicals (typed hystericals--there is my mind right now) in both email accounts. Want them filed. Also want the promotion emails I actually might use once in a while filed away from email.
I'm trying to expand my ebay clothing alerts to text me if someone is selling something that looks like what I want on LA craigslist. Step #2 closer to internet becoming personal shopper.
Come on! Someone has already done this, and it doesn't cost more than $19.99 tops. Where is it????
ita!
did you know there is a way to make templates for your notes in Evernote?

That's what I was complaining about here: ita ! "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Sep 24, 2012 8:36:35 pm PDT actually. It's over engineered, cutesy, and gave me offline problems.
I'm just using bold and horizontal rules instead.
huh. I am trying to get through the to do templates.
Say Aahh is a good add on for grocery shopping.
I have a grocery app that has a database of products and reads UPC codes, etc. I'm good with that--I don't think an Evernote plugin is going to work better for me.

Grocery IQ? Love it! Me & FAQ!Wife share an account so our phone's grocery lists are always in synch.
Yes! I have stopped insisting on scanning the barcodes of everything (because it's more cool than useful ALL the time), but it is nice and simple anyway. You don't have to use all the fields and stuff.
The other shopping "thing" I have is key ring. Ralphs is way not yet used to that. They do scan it pretty successfully (Sephora doesn't try to scan, nor does the Vitamin Shop or Blick's), but they're usually surprised at that being the answer when they ask if I have a Ralph's card. I think they think I'm fooling around texting in line or something.
I have key ring but the one time I tried to use it, the scanner couldn't read my screen, so I gave up.
When people actually try,, they don't have consistent problems. Many people don't try, though. At Ralph's they don't even bother take it from me, just scan it in my hand, and I think they've typed it once in 20 or 30 visits.
I find it very handy for me (I'm not carrying that many cards on me), and if the other people can't be bothered to scan it and just start typing, that's entirely on them. I showed them a barcode.
