Ooops, looks like the Television Without Pity forums are hosed – at least this one is. Try again later.

I wonder if it’s virus related? DSLreports was down earlier too, but is back up now.

Wonder what happens tomorrow on MyDoomsday?

Virus Sighting – had Novarg briefly. Don’t anymore. Thanks, DGH!

Phone News: we’re keeping the phones for now. The really loud tones on startup seem not to be changeable or muteable, but the shutdown tones are now turned down to the minimum level. The camera seems to work all right – we’ll see if we keep them for the 2 week period trial period. Porting the number from our old service (Sprint) was accomplished overnight. Very smooth and unnightmarelike.

The phones themselves are a little slick (literally and figuratively) that I think I’ll have to get some sort of tactile skin or case for mine. It’s annoying that I can’t get my name to appear on the outer and inner screen banners – this is an advertising banner for Verizon Wireless that is not changeable without some hacking around that we’re not willing to do.

Various solutions are possible, but then the roam banner is on all the time. Which is more annoying than not having my name on my phone, which looks identical to my husband’s phone.

Another good reason to get a distinctive skin or case for mine, non? Oui.

So it looks like we’ll keep the phones for now, and use various techniques to keep them from being embarassing when turned on in public.

Sticking a thumb or finger over the external speaker seems to work best.

Lo-tech rulz!
