Pomplamoose – Another Day

Pomplamoose is at it again!

This time with Another Day

No Posts? Wazzup?

Hi all, I just wanted to drop you all a note about why so few posts. I’m sure your thinking that I must be finding interesting stuff so I’m just dissing you…

lol No not really but I am quite busy. I wish it was all paying work but alas mostly it is personal hobbies and interests.

I am actually working on 2 other blogs right now. They are not public yet but should be available in the next couple weeks. I am finding both these projects to be very exciting.

I guess I will post a little video I found yesterday…

Interesting, the Migration of Man

Based on the information gathered from the Out if Africa series. I found it to be very interesting.

Google Voice FTW

Hi all!

I think I mentioned Google Voice some time ago. It seems to be working real well and so far I have only heard one complaint about a voice mail giving a weird response.

If you do not have Google Voice but think you may want to try it you have to request an invite.  http://google.com/voice

What does it do…

Google Voice is a Centralized Voice-mail system. You can assign many phones to forward all missed calls directly to a single voicemail in-box. You can access these voice-mails on your phone like normal (with a new number to dial). You can also access these voicemails on the internet.

The Voice-mails once received into the Google servers are transcribed into the language of your choice. The transcriptions are not yet perfect but it almost always gets numbers and clearly enunciated words correctly. This is especially nice when you can just click a button and create a new contact with as much of the vital information as can be taken from the transcription. Of course you can listen to the original recording and like Network cell voice-mail the recordings will be saved for only 14 days. That is unless you save it separately which is easy to do.

Really the best part about it is the ability to access everything on the web. If you already have a Gmail account an if you’re using Google contacts the transition is easy and simple.

Another nice point is that if you get the free for life google phone number you can easily send and receive sms messages from the computer keyboard. These message just so happen to get stored in thread form for easy reading and archival.

With or without a Google number you can also dial a number to call someone on a separate phone. So you want to call your Auntie Em? You simple goto your Gmail contacts and select Auntie Em’s listing. Next to her number will be a call button. When you press this call button a dialog comes up and asks you which phone you wish to call from.  On my setup I can use either “My Cell Phone” or “My MagicJack”. You just select which phone you want to use and check if you want to save the settings. Clicky Clicky and Google voice will call the phone you selected, when you answer the phone it automatically dials out the correct number you wanted to call.

I think it is very cool, especially if your one of those people that is in front of a computer more often than not.

Customer Service Failage

Hi all, today is just a little re-cap on my stolen iPhone.

I called AT&T to see if it would be possible to brick the phone remotely. I was informed that there is an app that removes personal information and if I had d/led the app I could do it myself.  Other than that there is no way for them to do anything.

This is bullshit! They should be able to totally brick the phone remotely for stolen phones. If all the stolen devices were bricked then the thieves would have no incentive to steal them.

I admit that I will never see my phone again, it just really pisses me off that someone else will be able to use it as not only an iPod Touch but also it can be jailbroken and used as a phone with any other carrier besides AT&T. Bullshit again!

Where are Penn and Teller?

This is the worst type of customer service ever. We have the technology to do it but we will not do it for you.  BULLSHIT!

Down with AT&T, Down with Apple for making me use AT&T. Down with both companies for promoting thievery.

Here is an image showing something similar to my broken screen.

Amazing things are afoot

It’s totally personal but I may talk about it soon.

Remember Bartles and James?

Thank you for your support!
