Things that stress me out

This tree humping my house. It is my neighbor's tree and the reason I never do anything about it is because I feel bad having them cut such a big ole beautiful tree. On the other hand it is fucking up my roof.

I love my new iPhone

I love my new iphone. Here I am, blowing it kisses like a new lover. I stayed up all night writing a program so I can picture blog from it via email in an effort to bring me closer to my 3000th blog post. If you have an iphone amnd want to try it, message me. I am also working on a blackberry version for (e:fing). Apparently, bith OSes don't let you upload files from the browser, lame.

I am so glad I didn't wait in the four hour line yesterday (e:paul,44928) . They had plenty of them this afternoon and the line was only 10 minutes. The tricky thing is that they have to remove all corporate discounts from your phone in order to activate it. Then you have to go to the AT&T store to rreapply the discounts to your account. I bet lots of people forget. How tricky is that. They say its a computer glitch, whatever.

the early nerd gets the phone

I got to the apple store too late. They have enough phones but the At&t servers were down and so the line was estimating 4 hours. I do not wait for anything for 4 hours - accept maybe food during some future rationing. I mean I already have a 3 g capable gps mobile on AT&T what is waiting another bit for it to be an iPhone.

It's so stupid that the force instore activation. It makes me hate AT&T. I mean if they are going to demand it they should make sure they have the resoucres to handle it.

Plus they are so cheap that they will become commonplace making it exponentially less cool and less worthy of a four hour wait. - it's kind of like when Hello Kitty when they started selling it at target and you no longer had to travel to the ends of the earth to find the San rio store.

I still want one though, I am just not willing to wait. The craziest part Is that in that four hour long line it was exclusively men.

Plus they are so cheap now and si many people will have one, that it's not even something special

The rest of the day I will be working on the apartment.

tiburon1724 writes at 05:56:07 07/11/08 - Comment #36930: Another funny thing is the people who were at the AT&T store for normal things....one obnoxious guy was trying to buy a case for his Instinct, which isn't even an AT&T phone of course. Another was there to ask about a corporate discount on her existing line, getting all pissy because it's taking so long. It was totally disorganized too, one woman is going along the line taking information to give to the rep at the counter to expedite our orders, yet she gives it to the rep helping me after she already entered it all in making it a total waste of time. They'd call the next person and everyone would stand there looking at each other...GO UP TO THE COUNTER. THERE IS NO BODY IN FRONT OF YOU, MEANING YOU ARE NEXT. My God when there's a crowd people just turn into mindless drones!

tiburon1724 writes at 05:52:16 07/11/08 - Comment #36929: stopped by the Sheridan AT&T store this morning...line outside, door locked, they're letting in one person at a time. Then I find out they're out of the phones and just taking orders. I say screw this and run to the Galleria. Get in line at AT&T (didn't want to go to Apple because they can't honor my company discount and I heard they can't port but don't know if that part is true or not, plus I hate the Apple store.) and same thing...they're out of iPhones but taking orders for Monday. I drag myself to the Apple store, took one look at that ridiculous line and turn right back around. What the hell is worth waiting that long, seriously...it's a phone. Went back to AT&T upstairs and ordered it for Monday.

Now my problem with it is this...it cost $15 shipping to order it. And it's being delivered to the store. So if they have enough phones which they obviously do since they can be in the store by Monday, why don't they just send them to the friggin stores?? And why am I paying because you bastards ran out? That is complete bullshit, but very ingenious on their part to get more money.

I noticed it had cut, copy, paste, tether, flash, 3G and a gps, lol. I think i ma back to that phone at least for today. It shoudl liven up my journal a bit.

Oh wait, I think she's bringing nourishment to her doofus BF...

tinypliny writes at 01:33:19 07/11/08 - Comment #36926: I'll settle for chuckles any day. Just have to mosey down to the vending machines.
Come to think of it, they need to sell these in vending machines instead. I think that already do that at airports.

The new iphone firmware 2.0 with AIM

Finally, the iphone natively has AOL instant messenger app which by the way is free. This I imagine will make it a big seller for a lot of people.

You can get the new firmware here

but you will need itunes 7.7 to activate your phone. I got it using system update on my mac.
