Hey Thaddy... welcome back. IIRC, I believe you had the SN I wanted for my HF-1s (3 higher than mine). I think we had worked it out with TTVJ to have him switch for us, he OK'd it, and then... heh... forgot. Remember that? Ahhh, the good ol' days. **BRENT**

I shoot with my Mind's Eye. **BRENT**

Thank you for all the thoughts and well wishes, everyone. It truly means a lot. I'm going to get through this, and honestly, it is for the best. I don't want to badmouth the wife, but it hasn't been good for a while, and I've put up with too much. I plan on doing what is best for myself and my children. Taking it day by day right now (though really, it's not even been a day just yet), but as some philosophers from the middle of last century put it... "I'll get by, with a little help, from my friends". And I will. I got my ass handed to me by some friends tonight, lovingly, and it really helped to put some things into perspective. I feel much good will come of this. Lots of pain, sorry, heartache, emotasticism... but good in the end. If When you see me being a little bitch about it, feel free to put me in my place. I'll probably stray off the path a few times, though I'm going to try not to veer too far. 'Twill be for the best. *hugs* to all... now to sleep. I've had 1.5 hours since I woke up Sunday morning. **BRENT**

Marriage ended a few hours ago, took a nap, woke up, talked to friend, got on HC, now to get ready to go through the motions at work. **BRENT**

Heh. I know. **BRENT**

That's what I was thinking re: computers (and 2 gigs isn't that much space for most people most of the time, these days), but I was wondering about the phone/iPad apps. Do the files get pushed to those devices as well, or are they pulled when requested? 2 gigs is maybe a percent or two of hdd for most hard drives, but maybe 15% of an iPhone's storage. I'm not running a phone OS right now that is supported so I can't tell just yet. **BRENT**

^ What he said. I guess "cloud storage" was kind of a light description. Quick question, though... with it syncing across multiple devices (including phones), is that data automatically synced even to you phone? Say if you put some music in there from the desktop, does the phone client (along with all desktop clients) automatically grab it, or what? I'm mainly wondering about the phone app right now. **BRENT**

Validation. I like it. Also, it seems I am now up to two friends, as I had a litttle bubble pop up saying I've been bumped up to 2.8 GB of storage. **BRENT**

Free extra 250MB with a DropBox account Came across this recently and thought you guys might be interested. 2GB of free cloud storage which you can access from any computer (for the most part) and there are even iPhone, iPad and Android apps out (with Blackberry coming soon, for the 2 people here that still have blackberries). The link above will start you out with 250MB extra for free (there are a couple tiers of paid options to allow more). One nice thing is the ability to share files with people (I imagine you send them a link or password to the folder). Could be a way to squeeze a few more albums/videos/pictures out of your iPhone, possibly. Just a thought. Oh yeah, for everyone who uses that link, we each get 250MB extra space. So if you do it, you start with 2.25, and I get 250MB more. Then you send it to other people, get more MBs... mmmm... more MBs. There is an 8GB limit to the free stuff, so if you have 32 friends, BAM, 10 free gigs in a DropBox account. **BRENT**

Luckily for you, there are places that sell these, in both new and use, stock and modded trim. Should you be so inclined, you can always, you know, go buy some more! **BRENT**

Dammit... ^ that was my 900th post. I was going to use that for buying something. Oh well. I found this a few years ago, and the above made me want to share it with. It makes me smile every time I watch it. **BRENT**

**BRENT**

You should buy some ThunderPants from NoNoNoNoNoNo. **BRENT**

Not today, but this past weekend I consumed my first beer. Well, it was technically a beer, sort of. Solidarity with my best friend, who is now recently no-longer-engaged, 2 hours after the fact. Magic Hat Wacko. Seems to use beet sugar for fermentation. I feel like I should have been in an episode of Doug. **BRENT**

Where is the "Like" button for this one? **BRENT**

Also... maybe you want to try different browsers, update java, or... well... mess with the firewall. This chat is finicky at times. **BRENT**

Get a job, hippie! **BRENT**

Birthday Cake - Android app on AppBrain **BRENT**

You still using you 128kbps MP3s? **BRENT**

Stumbled across this today: How to Turn Your Android Phone into a Fully-Automated Superphone Looks interesting. **BRENT**

Heh... I now know my laptop screen's calibration is off, as I can read that. Heh. **BRENT**

Already sold. 443$ shipped. Too bad Dinny didn't get it. **BRENT**

Don't use a hairdryer like someone suggested. Here is what I recommend for cellphones that take a swim... I think it should probably work here too. Wipe down the card with a rag or paper towel (I'm sure you've already done this, though). Get a small tupperware-style container, put rice in it, put card into rice, let it sit at least overnight, if not for a full day. Then try to grab your images. The rice should absorb the excess water. Hope this helps. **BRENT** Oh yeah, congrat on your new place, Matt. Maybe it's time to upgrade your cellphone so you can tether @ your house, no?

doubleTwist should be a good solution for your music player woes. I'm glad it's working out for you, dB, especially in the former Dead Zone. If you didn't know, you can set that phone as a wifi hotspot for a 20$/mo fee, iirc. Also, if you wanted to be able to tether to you computer (for free), check out PdaNet. If I didn't tell you previously, check out App Brain. Also, if you do much/any reading, the Nook app just landed on Android, Audible has a supposedly phenomenal app out (possibly in beta still, but look it up in the Market), Kindle has an app. Lots of stuff out there. Also, if you didn't know, Google Maps has built-in turn-by-turn navigation service. Amazon has an app with a barcode scanner which will allow you go scan barcodes (using the camera) when you're out, compare prices with Amazon, add-to-cart or even buy straight from the phone. I'd also download Shazam if you ever listen to a song but just don't know the name of it and want to know within a few seconds. For other barcode scanners, I like Barcode Scanner, Compare Everywhere and/or ShopSaavy. I'd get at least one beyond the Amazon app... you can scan the QR codes that are popping up here and there for various things, including ones that take you straight to the download of certain programs/apps. So that's what, 10 apps down, 100,000 to go? That should keep you busy. **BRENT** Oh... almost forgot the most important thing. www.Head-case.org. Click on the chat room.

Oh... I wouldn't drop an iPhone 4/Evo/most things in an Innocase from more than say, 3 ft. Maybe 18" onto concrete. But it is really thin, is one of the best feeling cases for thin phones, reasonably unobtrusive... I like it. If you want to pocket it and not drop it on concrete, good choice. I like dropping thigns on concrete, though. **BRENT**
