I have finally joined the 21st century...
Edited on Sun Jun-29-08 10:39 AM by DarkTirade
I got a cel phone! It's got all kinds of nifty features but the most important one: It's shiny and purple.

So my question now is... since it's a camera phone, is it mandatory that I stick it down my pants and take a picture with it, or is that optional?

1. Yes, I'm afraid it is.

Cell Phone User Rule #0343330 requires it. Also, Lounge Code #1-2CURW33N would require you to PM said photo for verification of compliance with Cell Phone User Rule #0343330. I humbly offer my services as your personal verification specialist.

:evilgrin:

3. easiest way is to e-mail them to you.
Just choose the send picture message (or something like that, depending on your phone provider) option.

10. Hmm. It seems like its working, but so far the only email that's come in
is the one that I didn't attach anything to.

Maybe it takes longer to process or upload if there's a picture or vid attached.

24. Looks like I can't transfer data with my current plan or something like that.
But 'sokay, I got it hooked up to my computer so I can transfer data that way.

I think I'm gonna get a miniSD card to put in there though, it doesn't have much storage space for the various crap I'd wanna put on there. :)

12. Work was a bit busy this last week
Edited on Sun Jun-29-08 11:24 AM by DarkTirade
got a whole bunch of extra hours. And they were fairly busy ones, since the kids are getting out of school and the parents are getting craft/art type stuff to keep them busy. :) Even covered somebody else's shift. I coulda covered another shift today, but I wanted to have time to hang out with friends. But next week my schedule's a little more lax.

I did the math and I realized that even if my schedule stays light, I'll still earn enough to pay all my bills (including the new cel phone bill) in one week of work. Which means the rest of the month and any extra hours I get go right into my pocket. Weehoo!

I also discovered that working on Saturday means having to hear lots of screaming children. I normally like children. I can even handle crying children. But when they start doing those high-pitched squeals, it gets a wee bit painful. Still, less painful than my last two jobs... what with the getting burned by hot grease and whatnot at the pizza place, and getting hit in the head with 70 pound boxes at UPS. :)

13. Aha!
Using my superhuman deduction skillz, I think I know where to find a DarkTirade. :P

I'll be sure to bring in my loud obnoxious children and tell them to go annoy the man with the long hair.

:woohoo:

14. ...


Seriously though, it's the Michael's right across from the mall. Handy for me, since I end up hanging out on that side of town for about 12 hours a week anyway. Now I can earn money while doing it. :)

15. I get all my art supplies there
If I don't get them from my college book store. The hubby gets a lot of his frames there (photographer) since they seem to always have good sales. Someday I want to get a job at the bookstore next door. I'd get in trouble for reading all the time though. Heh.

17. I have yet to take pictures of my junk with my cell phone.
And I've had it since September. :silly:

I found that it's easiest to transfer pics from your cell phone to your computer via bluetooth.

18. I don't have any kind of wireless on my computer
Edited on Sun Jun-29-08 01:35 PM by DarkTirade
although I did discover that the USB cable for my mp3 player is the same kind that my phone uses, so I'm trying to download the software I need to transfer stuff. :)

Woohoo! Got it working.

*edit* Now I just gotta figure out how to set the sound I uploaded as my ringtone...

*edit 2* Ahah! Got it.
http://www.stickmanltd.com/MIIntro.mp3 this is now my ringtone.

Monkey Island FTW.

20. Here it is... a picture from my new phone... in my pants.


Dark, ain't it? :P

Huh. I guess the phone doesn't actually zoom in when you hit zoom. It just crops it towards the center. I didn't realize the pic ended up so big, I thought it was gonna be as small as the last one. :)
