The textbook vendor that I found the book I needed for so much cheaper? Uh, yeah, I'm dumb. I'm expecting it to arrive today and I get an out of stock email overnight. You'd think they could have noticed it was out of stock just a smidge earlier?

Ahhhh, the joys of dealing with teh BD ICC...

BD: "I'm sorry, sir, but connecting through zone 1 (BRU) to get to zone 5 (BJL) is not possible, as this is considered back-tracking"

Me: "Perhaps you could tell me then, exactly how is one supposed to get to Banjul from North America, considering there are no direct flights linking those two regions."

BD: :confused:

Me: :rolleyes:

My understanding of what he's saying is that the messages he gets from YAPTA are much larger than the standard 140 character SMS message size, so his confirmation URL gets cut into multiple messages and is thus useless. Funneling that through another domain isn't likely to overcome it unless some fancy processing is put in place to strip out the URL, encode it in tiny.cc, and then forward just that via SMS to his phone. Doable, sure, but a bit of work.

That is, unless I'm way out in left field and you had a different idea? I'd love to hear about it because this isn't the first time I've run into this problem.

Ok, but that does not achieve Steve's original purpose of having the e-mails sent to him as SMS; he wants to be notified when YAPTA sends an alert.

Apparently Wal-Mart is one of the bus transfer / checkpoints. There are four buses here at the moment.
