The darnedest thing...

I have a trick I use when composing an email draft that I don't want to accidentally send, I type the name 'noone' in the To field. Why? Because eons ago I worked with an emailer that wouldn't let you leave that field blank before composing the mail, and I got into the habit.

It's nice, because while you could type in the name of the person you want to send it to, appended with 'notyet' or something, autocompletion of names frequently makes that more troublesome than not. Silly, but true.

Anyway, today at work I did that, and the LDAP autosearch popped up someone with that last name, filled out the address completely for someone in the UK. Poop. I guess I have to hope nobody has the last name 'nobody'.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

'No Body Messages' in *Brazil*!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!


BASTARDS!




grr.

Timestamping an idea is all...

iPhone rumored to be more of an iPod + networking instead of cell phone + music. Makes sense. Also rumored, no keypad, just click-wheel. Hilarious whining ensues as people bitch that 'phones have keypads!'. (Come on, *no one* remembers the rotary dial? Puhleeze.) Okay, so numeric input is a no brainer with the wheel, but the point of text messaging was brought up, and it's a valid one. I personally don't txtmsglol, but I know crazy people who do.

So here's my plan for text messaging through a click-wheel. Remember, this unit is going to have *GBs* of storage available, and a pretty hefty CPU, strictly for the media crunching.

(The second iPhone is supposed to the smart phone model, and have a full slide-out keyboard - obviously, this wouldn't apply there, this is just an exercise in how to input text on a device that has *only* a click-wheel...)

Simple, no? Amazing what happens when you make the device a little smarter, and give it a nice interface...

Hmm. Chafes a bit, but it's a fair cop.

You are The Hermit

Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.
