You all can't stand that I still have a scroll wheel, can you? ;)

Afternoon, box!

Anyone around Houston on the 25th of Nov? Starwood Lurker will be in town so I thought a pre Thanksgiving mini do was in order.

I'll be on my way to Austin. :(

Like I said, if you and your partner feel up for a drink in Den Haag any evening Thu.-Sat., let me know.

We're flying out Saturday but let's definitely plan on something Thursday or Friday night. I'll let you know. We need to get busy planning this trip that's now less than two weeks away. At this point all we have are flights to get us there and flights to get us home. We've both been crazy busy.

TMo in NYC was actually completely useless a couple years back. Their "lag" in coverage/speed meant that their towers in mid-town were terribly over-subscribed. They dealt with this by dropping data connections and giving preference to voice that was very bad for many of my customers, including one who was part of their legal team. Oops.

Honestly, not jealous at all about that.

I've moved up in the world. Personal phone is touch screen now. I MUCH prefer it. And I have a D-pad for navigation too if I really want scroll wheel type functionality.

RIM really needs a hybrid touch screen and hardware keyboard device. I haven't tried the new trackpad that replaced the trackball, but a true touch screen is still a much better option for most navigation.

I don't want to bring attention to myself with TMo - part of my very inexpensive Blackberry is being on a pricing plan that doesn't exist any more. Been off-contract for two years and they don't seem to mind.

T-Mobile honors the legacy plans for quite a while but does, after a few years, get around to slowly increasing the prices piece by piece.

As far as the off-contract thing is concerned, of course they don't care.

They have built the cost of new phone subsidization into the monthly rates and if you do not take a new phone at the end of every contract, you are screwing yourself since you are paying for it anyway.

I plan on signing up my wife as well. Duh.

Think that they'll give me crap for redeeming after they realize that I've filed a lawsuit against them?? :p

Heh, nice. What is the status on the suit? Hopefully they'll have to eat crow.

BA used to try to switch-sell VS customers by stealing their customer contact info and calling unsuspecting J-class pax. After having been found out by Branson and taken to court, where they lost a libel suit, BA thought themselves above having to obey the High Court judge and the switch-selling calls continued. One of them went to one of BA's lawyers representing them in a follow-on suit. The lawyer had booked himself in UC and was targeted by the operation that BA was supposed to halt.

The new window feeder on my second story office window has gotten some attention. I have had a steady stream of nuthatches, house finches, chickadees and bluejays as I sit through this boring con call.
