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

I'm almost certainly mostly positive that we're working one interface to an IP address. I'm going to go with the stance of one VLAN per NIC, unless embarassingly corrected in front of all my coworkers.

Grr. I am having the hardest time finding the phone I set my heart on: an unlocked Nokia E70. Most places, most places I've had vouched for, don't have it in stock. Then I do stupid stuff like read the Wikipedia page and I want it even more--it can maintain 6 Bluetooth connections, which means Bluephone Elite and a headset will no longer be an either/or proposition.

Mobile Planet seems to have them available, but in a bundle that's $200> the other reputable places that don't have it. And then there are just some places I don't want to throw my money at.

Irritating. Hating my Razr more and more, and I can't find my PDA.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Juliebird, did you fix your itunes problems?

For others, I have no idea what to do about xml.

ita, can you wait a bit? Others might get your phone for a discount. Wow. That's a nice phone. If you can, try around November. I think they put phones on sale for xmas.

It's a 2006 phone, if memory serves. I'm worried it'll disappear altogether. I just love that form factor, and I hate T9.

1994 called. It wants its computer back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey, that computer has not one, but two serial ports. Possibly even with 16550A UARTs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

1994 called.

It's a few years older than that, actually.

I remember wanting to wait until the 486s came out before I bought my next computer, and now that looks like it was made with stone knives. That computer looks suspiciously like the one I had when I started my last job in 1991, the one that took 10 minutes to load a Word document. I last saw it when the IT manager said, "Get that piece of shit out of her office." They wouldn't let me throw it off the building, though.

Our first home computer had a 700 meg hard drive. Which was HUGE at the time. And then we put in this "CD-ROM" drive.
