Squirt's Alter Ego Log
Hi, I'm Mikey, but I'm also Squirt's Alter Ego.
Squirt lives in Las Vegas, but he needs someone to speak for him. He only says one word (bark)

 jim  I got the IPhone. I love it!!!
Its my toy, and I think it does a great job.
I also believe someone from the future brought the plans here, and Apple produced it.
It just doesn't seem like it belongs in this time. Its way ahead!!!
Here's what I've found so far:
Its really easy to understand. I generally don't like working with Icons, but these look good and make sense.
I can walk around, and it will connect to whatever it can find for the internet.
Using Wep with a hex key was tricky because it wants a password, and doesn't give you a hex key operation.
You have to set up any Wep/hex key before the IPhone discovers it. You can't just join it.
Unsecured networks, it just connects to. So far, its connected to almost every business on 4th street.
Its graphics are great.
Data entry is a breeze. I like how when I key in Jom, it shows a little drop down box showing Jim.
I think the speaker phone, bluetooth and regular phone work wonderfully.
Setting up outgoing mail, I had to key in smtp.1and1.com:587 because 1and1 doesn't use port 25.
That kind of stuff you have to set up in Settings. Once you understand its there, its not so bad.
I'm very impressed.
I think its got a great phone.
It cost $399 with no rebate.
I got Becky a Palm Treo.
I wanted to get the biggest discount on a phone, since we had to sign a two year contract with AT&T.
We did good. The Palm Treo is pretty easy to use. Becky loves it. I love it. It will cost $99 after the rebate.
Its better than any other phone that I've had so far.
However, its not nearly as easy to use as the IPhone, and its graphics are good, but the IPhone is just excellent.
I got some extras...I think the hole mess with activation and the accesories cost $600.
But we have all kinds of rebates coming. I just hope we get them. I've been let down a lot with mail-in rebates.
This is what I work for.
Not to just dole money out to other people because they ask for it. I work for myself.
And now I have something that represents the fruits of my labor and thats a good thing!

 sae   (Reply).I got the IPhone. I love it!!!
I've been told that if you use WAP instead of WEP, you'll have better security and you won't have to enter those hex numbers. You didn't buy me one too? Not even a Treo? Did you keep your old cell number?

 sae  .We are Wall Streeters now!
How about investing in the "SAE fund for the monetarily disabled". It is my means to pad my wallet, and bribe Jeffwee and others to like me. The return on investment is -100%. Would you like to write me your first donation check now, or a bit later?

No, you give me money and/or other valuables, and I give you a very valuable nothing.

So, you're hearing voices? First sign of (1) you're getting old, (2) you're losing your insanity, and (3) you're back to programming as a profession.

 jim  ..Getting settled into Louisville
Thats FUNNY!
I had to tell her my email address is ajilon@lvdude.com several times.
Since my refinance failed after signing the closing papers, I feel cautious when people say something is a done deal.
Ajilon's being 'late' and not calling me made me feel very leary about coming here.
I had to pin them down with, "If you say go, I'll take off Saturday. If not, I'll wait another week. Should I go?".
It's odd they'd still be doing a background check on me.
Reference checks beyond the question, 'does this person exist' has never made any sense to me anyway.
What is a person going to do? Put down a bad reference?
Like I'd put down Rodney Dangerfield's number. "Yea, jim has a big heart...and a big everything else too.".
lol.
I still haven't seen Ajilon's contract. I'm headed there today to sign some papers.

Funny. They had the same Dangerfield comment about Jeffwee Hock. It went "Yea, Jeffwee has a big heart.... but also has a very tiny pee pee". He does drive a Corvette!!! Speaking of Jeffwee, he says she called him too and had trouble pronouncing his name too, and couldn't (or wouldn't) get around to asking the important questions. Like your work abilities or ethic, etc. She kept asking where you two knew each other from.
