Not that I've figured out.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
At last, something that the iPhone can't do!
Not that I'm jealous or anything. And I did get to play with one at the Apple Store last week and was filled with technolust such as I've not felt in a long long time. But I shall be strong, and unemployed to boot.
If I buy an iPhone, will the wonderfulness get me a job?

not your mom's socks.
oh hivemind with the 1s and 0s... I am looking for a good (affordable-to-cheap/free) way to brainstorm and plan online with a farflung (and somewhat high-maintenance) group. Asynchronous is preferred. I've been given an extra project - develop a 3-year strategic plan with 50+ community members from around the country. Lots of ideas will be generated. But no new staff to take the extra work. Whee. Still, online planning is much preferred over 7:30pm town-hall meetings every three weeks. I would be so grateful for the help.
am iphone jealous. even with the whitefont oversight.

FWIW, I understand GTalk has added conferencing -- you'd all be on the same IM chat, if typed conversation is what you like. For cheap voice, I dunno.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There was a piece of online software being used in the revision of the cheesebutt page, but I can't remember offhand what it was.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Campfire is excellent; I've also heard good things of Zoho Project (haven't used it, but I like a lot of their other tools.)

Has anyone had the touch wheel on their iPod fail?
Resetting the iPod might help. Try moving the lock switch to locked, then back to unlocked, then holding down menu and the center button for five seconds or so. The screen will flash and then the iPod will spend a while rebooting.

I tried to reboot last night, but the sweet spot where the click wheel works for play/pause is so small I couldn't get it to work. It was making the iPod play music at high speed, though. I tried again just now, and the iPod shut down as if it was going to reboot, and I held it down for at least 10 seconds, but as soon as I lifted my fingers from the buttons, it would just pop back on where it was playing before.
It's now frozen in the on position and still won't reboot. I think I may have to wait for the battery to run down and try again.
