I told my wife as I went out to run an errand yesterday, "If you need me for anything, just message me through Facebook."

extending the network works fine for me. Check your settings. I think you set it to "bridge" or some shit.

don't get an iPhone, if you have to have that stuff just get an ipod touch and save yourself hundreds and hundreds of dollars
the ipod touch is not a phone
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link
also an iphone is $199, so you mean hundred and hundred of dollars
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:42 (fifteen years ago) link
The only thing putting me off of an iTouch is you have to be near a hotspot. I'd love to get a data-only plan for an iPhone somehow.

haha yes cutty you are brilliant.
― El Tomboto, Monday, 29 December 2008 17:49 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm just sayin. the phone comes in handy. like when you want to call someone.
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 18:13 (fifteen years ago) link
;)
Yeh, bridge works fine. If you put it on the other one where the second station rebroadcasts though, it kills the speed. Utility gives you a little warning about it as well.

cutty the thing with me is, I already have a phone, and it's smaller than the iPhone.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 29 December 2008 18:53 (fifteen years ago) link
what is this small phone you speak of
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:00 (fifteen years ago) link
It's one of the 1,000,000,000,000 models of mobile phone produced in the last six years that's smaller than an iPhone.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:06 (fifteen years ago) link
It's the new iPhone Nano.

i don't think SIZE is the deciding factor in a phone for me. plus you are willing to schlep around an ipod touch if it had a data only plan.
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:12 (fifteen years ago) link
btw i'm not an iphone zealot. i still like blackberrys. if you have an apple computer at home, an iphone is wonderful.
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:13 (fifteen years ago) link
i already schlep around an iPod - sometimes - and it's no big deal. i think i just like having separate devices. (and each one's smaller than an iPhone.)
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:16 (fifteen years ago) link
there you go talking about size again
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:17 (fifteen years ago) link
im very well aware of the iphone's shortcomings. it being TOO BIG never crossed my mind.
Well some of us don't carry purses.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:38 (fifteen years ago) link
Fuck a blackberry.
vvv blackberry user

PLEASE. i wear tight as fuck jeans and the iphone has never been too big fit in my pockets.
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 19:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Is that yr iPhone ringing or are you just glad to see me?
― яσσʍ♭ⱥȵℹҁᔔ ᴗȵȴℹʍℹȶ∊∂ (libcrypt), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:02 (fifteen years ago) link
No way is a iphone too big. No way. It fits everywhere I've ever had to put it.

Including the road. It survived that tumble btw.
I'm glad you clarified that.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 29 December 2008 20:35 (fifteen years ago) link
as camille paglia a user who initially resisted on several grounds, including that i preferred a somewhat narrower clamshell phone, the advantage of the iphone is that, while not without problems, it's the best phone/email/web available in a single device. if you don't care about email and web, you're probably better off with ipod + separate phone (preferably on Verizon, in the US). if you do care a lot about email and web, and also about marginal cost and/or tactility (both of keys and overall) and/or c+p, get a blackberry. if you want the best overall device, shortcomings included, get an iphone and don't look back.

i was calculating one years worth of bills--so where is this iphone alternative where you don't pay monthly fees?
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 21:38 (fifteen years ago) link
besides retards who like to use VOIP on an ipoh touch
i have an iphone; the plan was only $10-20 more per month than other comparable voice + data plans. i guess the cheap alternative is to not spring for voice + data.
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 29 December 2008 21:44 (fifteen years ago) link
exactly.

Fuck an iphone, that calculator is SO CUTE.
― Pope Gay Homo Awful House Music (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 29 December 2008 22:25 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah ok the ipod touch is totally useless because it does not force you to buy a voice and data plan from AT&T.
― El Tomboto, Monday, 29 December 2008 22:32 (fifteen years ago) link
autumn almanac otm though, we need more mustachioed information technology in the 2009

my toaster doesn't force me to buy a voice and data plan from AT&T either. but it doesn't make phone calls.
― cutty, Monday, 29 December 2008 22:41 (fifteen years ago) link
(it makes toast)
I requested my workplace's wifi password and was told that it was six pages long.
I don't know if that's hyperbole or not, but fuck me sitting here typing in a six-page password with my two thumbs.

Working on hacking the wine bar next door, but I don't know any French.
My iphone doesn't force me to buy from at&t because we don't have at&t here. I could buy one from one of four telcos because our govt actually bothered to do something nice for us in this instance.

ok, please bear with me as i am a total n00b, and easily confused by interchangable terms ... but it sounds like the best thing to do is
1) set up the time capsule as the WDS base on 5ghz
2) set up the airport extreme as a 2.4 ghz WDS relay, using an Ethernet cable
3) set up the airport express as a WDS remote

this. all the blog posts that smugly post the REAL price of the iphone seem to ignore the fact that all cell phones cost money every month.
― s1ocki, Monday, 29 December 2008 23:53 (fifteen years ago) link
anyway, different people different needs, but im with cutty, i like having everything in one place, i like having a nice thing to show off photos & videos, i like not having to carry 2 devices, i like not missing calls anymore because im listening to my ipod.
a dude asked to be talked out of buying an iphone. I attempted to do so. I'm a smug motherfucker!!

i like not missing calls anymore because im listening to my ipod.
I mitigate that by listening to my ipod instead of my iphone.
