is sad (but not surprised) to find that Scrabulous has been shut down, at least in the US and Canada. Feh.

is looking forward to Verizon adding RFD-TV to our cable service in a few days so I can watch the Big Joe Polka Show!

found an interesting bookstore at lunch time; first interesting place I've seen in this neighborhood. Also, a place that carries Beard Papa!

@dori sounds like a different error, then; still, it may be worth trying to restore the FLEXnet copy protection files from a backup

@dori what kind of error mess are you getting? I've seen messages from CS3 when another user on the same computer had a CS3 app open.

has to keep catching himself from "correcting" the word "flicker" in his e-mails and IMs today. Damned Web 2.0 vowel-droppers....

is looking up who to complain to about Verizon. Now it looks like they're billing us more than we agreed to. (NJ Board of Public Utilities)
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat July 17, 2008 at 3:43:08 PM

@kimmieblessing I sympathize; a real Philly cheesesteak is a thing of beauty, but what passes for one elsewhere is more Camden than Philly

would have stayed with Comcast and AT&T if I'd known it was going to be such a royal pain in the ass switching to FiOS.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat July 15, 2008 at 10:05:33 AM
is on hold with Verizon, who seem to have fucked up our order AGAIN

finally figured out what the problem with the TiVo was; TiVo is sending obsolete channel lineup information to the box. Grrrrrr.
Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat July 11, 2008 at 6:42:09 PM
can haz Ethernet in the family room for the new TiVo.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat July 11, 2008 at 10:20:59 AM
isn't getting an iPhone today. Waiting until the AT&T employee discount kicks in in mid-August. (50% off data rates is compelling....)

got called back to work for the company that let me go last week, starting next Wednesday. I can enjoy the rest of my time off now.
