Dear Sprint (PCS): You suck!

Samantha’s second Samsung A560 died last week, so I got mad and called Sprint to try and get out of the contract. No way — a kidney and my eldest child is the only way to get out of this deal with the devil.

So, until March 2008, the phone will be powered down and stuck in a drawer. We will grudgingly pay the bill, knowing that we can then tell them to take a long walk off a short pier and not re-subscribe.

On Sunday, we added Samantha to my T-Mobile plan and she now has several fine phones to choose from out of my existing collection. I really don’t see us going back to a CDMA service…ever.

GSM Phones are my weakness…

I have a problem: I like to collect GSM phones. Right now, I have seven.

"Hi, my name is Stephen, and I have a problem"

From left to right.

  • MOTORAZR V3
  • MOTORIZR Z3
  • MOTOSLVR L7i (current phone in use)
  • Motorola V188 (running V220 software)
  • Sony Ericsson K700i
  • Nokia of some description
  • Samsung T619

Ugh.

GrabPERF Return to Service

GrabPERF returned to service at approximately 17:30 GMT (13:30 EDT — 10:30 PDT) September 20 2007. The database server was on all night, but an esoteric choice of primary interfaces (i.e. the least obvious one!) meant that it was taking to empty space.

Have fun and enjoy the data!

Where there's smoke, there's poor fireplace design

The boys wanted a fire last night, so we fired up a pressed log, and all was well.

This morning, Samantha prepared the fireplace for a repeat tonight. We kept smelling the remnants of last nights fire smoldering, so we just lit the thing.

Guess the logs were lined up wrong.

Living Room full of smoke, billowing out the front of the fireplace.

I love home ownership.
