iPhone 3.0 Update Liveblog

5:22:29 PM: I’m going to annoy everyone on my Twitter thing by liveblogging the iPhone update. Yay technology!

5:22:43 PM: Installing now btw…

5:25:41 PM: Verifying. Hrm, blog seems to not actually be getting these updates.

5:29:05 PM: Okay, the blog is working. My phone? Not so much yet.

5:30:56 PM: Oh, what’s this? A warning that an app I have contains stuff not suitable for those under 17? Crazy…

5:32:15 PM: What’s this? Done already? Huh… Wonder why so many other people had to re-sync everything, but I didn’t.

5:33:47 PM: “whats this? what’s this?” Who am I, King of frakin’ Halloween?

5:36:46 PM: Checking out some settings. There’s an App Store entry in Settings now.

5:38:43 PM: Trying the Find My iPhone thing now…

5:40:22 PM: Getting some strange feedback on the blog. I think I’m also going to setup a new twitter account just for liveblogging.

5:43:33 PM: Found it to within a several blog area… refining it to within twenty feet. Not bad.

I had so much fun yesterday detailing and annotating the picture of the top of my bookshelf that I figured I’d do the same with another picture of the living room.

Follow me below the jump for happy fun image, and a breakdown!

Yup, still alive – and recovered after the holidays.
Not much really to sum up – been playing a good chunk of Fallout 3 (more than is healthy, I assume), reading some Star Trek books (a weakness, I know) and playing with my spiffy 3G iPhone (I caved, deal with it).

So, not much really to say – I might write up some thoughts on Fallout 3, and some thoughts on the 3G iPhone later… But for now? Just trying to get back into the groove.

Really? I find this hard to get behind… Rosenberg, Coldiron and I failed EPICLY to organize a BBQ using only Twitter as a means of communication – I can only imagine the chaos of attempting to do anything larger in scale.

Re: The Color Printer
The network color printer is still out of commission – it is jamming, regardless of where the paper is fed from. We are aware of the problem, and are working as quickly as we can to fix it. In the mean time, please do not send any more jobs to it – they won’t come out anyway, so it’s just a waste of your time and mine. Also, please refrain from dropping by my cubical every five minutes to either ask if it’s still broken, or let me know that it is broken. I know it is – that is why there is a note on the printer in my hand writing saying that it’s broken. When it’s fixed, I’ll let you know – and remove the note. Until the note is gone, it’s broken.

One last thing to be aware of: Contrary to popular belief, beating the printer like a rented mule will not, I repeat, will not make it work any faster, and may cause further damage to both the printer and my sanity. The next person to use undue force on the printer will be choked with a CAT6 cable, as outlined in the employee manual in Chapter 32, Subsection 4F.

Thank you and have a nice day.
