i don't find you to be a jerk. And btw don't take my double negative comment wrongly just a joke on your wording choice there.

No worries on the -- comment. I'm too drunk and tired to care about nuance of the phrasing there. And I know I'm not a jerk. And I'm even less greedy (at least I hope I am). I actually think I tend to be a pretty decent mench most of the time. ;)

Save situation now so Mo is in. I'm moving to bed very, very soon.

I wish this party in my shared back yard would end soon.

I'm dry (it was much more than "misting" at points) and starting my lubrication efforts quite nicely. I am sitting in a window overlooking 20th street so I still get plenty of eye candy along with my drinks and dinner.

OH is supposed to stop by at some point, I think.

I think I showed up about 2 minutes after that post. God the crowds were tough to break through.

Yeah...it was nice. A special thanks to the two very attractive women not wearing particularly much fabric who were sitting behind Olton Hall throughout dinner. I hope you two enjoy the rest of your evening. :D :eek: :p

I only god a few glimpses of them and the passing eye candy and it was some very sweet candy walking out on the streets of NYC. I had better view of annoying guy with the police PA and his wife of 18 years.

I just got back from a possible hog encounter. The dogs were carrying on in a very strange way, I went up and listened, and could hear what was either pigs or frogs; couldn't tell which, a ways down, in the direction of a tank around which there actually is rooting from a few days ago. Anyway, I drove around to there, but there was nothing I could see. That seems to have satisfied the dogs, though. Everything is quiet, and now it's time for bed.

Goodnight, again.

Mine (Bold, AT&T) does not pick up on time changes (unlike all the cheap cell phones I had previously). :(

It won't pick up time zone changes, but it should adjust automatically for daylight savings time if you've got it set to do so (setting is under Options, Date and Time).

BlackBerry OS version 5.0 senses time zone changes and adjusts the clock automatically, as I discovered this week. That is a very welcome improvement.

The "dog in my seat" and the "FA, anyone-foot" thread have hit the :rolleyes: mark and is now going no where, again.

I think we need more sticky threads for the following:
No children allowed
No pets allowed
No feet on the bulkhead allowed
WE don't CARE phone line

:D

Will find out in a couple hours if this indeed happens... :p

So I found out the hard way my phone automatically resets for day light savings time and missed my flight this morning. Luckily we can get on another one at 8:35

Good morning, box. :D

Verified all my timepieces have correctly (re)set themselves. And now to make the drive to Midland for MAF 3102 IAH 226 BWI.

All my clocks auto set, along with mobile phones, looks like the computers did better coming off DST than going on, even with the DST patches some misbehaved last time around.

Really? That's great. I guess I'll find out for sure week after next, but having to manually adjust the BB was annoying.

The only improvements I noticed in 5.0 were that it switched the device to a more readable font and changed the headers of e-mails.

The font was there all along, but wasn't the default. One of the old fugly fonts from like 1997 was the default, and I see BlackBerries all the time still using it.

Other changes include threaded SMS messages (HUGE improvement), visual voicemail (if supported by the carrier), auto-complete text entry, improvements to the browser, a completely reworked method of handling profiles, some minor changes to the alarm clock (nothing as major as the previous big upgrade a year ago though), a new audio postcard function, and some other changes to how media is managed on the device. One week into using it and I'm quite impressed with the improvements they've made. It may be enough to keep me on a BlackBerry device a while longer, and upgrade to the 9700 Bold when it launches this month.

The devices my company provides us are usually last year's technology T-Mobile gives them for free, so I don't think my BB could have made the new font look decent until they upgraded me to an 8xxx last month.

No wonder I haven't noticed them. I get an SMS message about once every three months, and I don't use the browser much (though it was so awful that any improvement will be immediately apparent). I've been home, so I haven't used the alarm clock.
