Why is it that Hiptop Nation will add the break tags to the body of the email, but not the signature?

Just wondered...

new CSK has arrived :)
So a couple of days ago I call T-Mobile to complain about the GPRS outtage I'd been experiencing, among various other hardware issues. I've had multiple units with various hardware problems. This latest one shorted 3 separate earpieces, including a $25 rectracable one I got from walmart that I figured may be better quality than the generic T-Mobile one, and therefore would last longer. It lasted a week.

I basically told them that I had too many problems with the black and white hardware, and I'd like to try the color version to see if it's any better, before I drop the Sidekick completely. They decided they'd go ahead and do that for me.

My brother just called from home. My CSK has arrived :)


Looks like I have plans for the evening :P

*pinky*: What I'd do with 180 Million...
1. Get out of debt. 2. Quit work and go to school. 3. Invest/Save in a way that would ensure financial security for my family, including my parents. 4. Save for my eventual childrens' eventual college education 5. Build my dream house on a nice piece of land. 6. Build my parents' dream house and give them enough to retire on. 7. Donate oodles to charity. 8. Give lots to loved-ones and friends. 9. Put my brother through school. 10. Build a homeless shelter.

And if there's anything left:

11. Two chicks at once :P

Corrected: First-ever online Presidential Primary
Whoops!

Corrected HTML:

MoveOn.org is hosting the first-ever online presidential primary tomorrow. It is a democratic primary, but no matter your political leanings, this is a historic event.

Register here.


ps: Mike, what would it take to implement an edit feature? More trouble than its worth?

Foremank: at least you're actually making diagrams. I'm reading about them. I don't have anything yet to diagram.

I'm on book #2 of the week. First one was UML Distilled, Second Edition - A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language

I want the Ultrasparc... I'm just getting a Dell with Win2k. Bo-ring. Apparently these people avoid unix like the plague. (government contractors)

Notice something missing?

That's right. Almost halfway into day 3, and still no computer.

What's a machine-less codemonkey to do?

You guess it. I'm reading thrilling documents and manuals. Real page-turning stuff. Right now I'm working on: UML and the Unified Process - Practical Object-Oriented Analysis & Design

I've been so bored that I've used all but one bar on the battery meter by 7pm for 2 solid days. Today will most likely be the same.

They're saying possibly tomorrow on getting the machine here for me.
