Being 2 hours from everything the joke had gone just a bit too far. Im a post modernist with the best of them, and frankly if u dont DM twitter me, comment on a blog or flickr, or i dont subscribe to your blog/rss/twits/friendfeed I'm not going to waste 15 minutes a day listening to mindless voicemails, thats so 1996. Can Optus pls bring out a <a href="http://forum.shozu.com/showthread.php?tid=912">Spinvox like voice to text conversion service</a>, so I can read my voicemails as emails, they used to have those paging services a decade ago, whatever happened...<br /><br />But I needed some form of contact, and given I also write/consume 85% of my email on blackberry, thx <span style="font-style: italic;">god im back on the crackbry</span>. I've booted up <a href="http://www.shozu.com">shozu</a> who forget to tell u about some<span style="font-style: italic;"> TCP access points hacks</span> u need to do to <a href="http://forum.shozu.com/showthread.php?tid=912">make it connect to the internet already which i solved</a> (now that i have a camera on the go, <a href="http://www.shozu.com/portal/rss/f09c2e.xml">the feed is here</a> - shozu doesnt seem to be on friendfeed yet)<br /><br />I've syncd my feedcorp and gmail emails on it, google calendar is working... I'm back in the game, u might be able to contact me now. Altho I warn u if I'm on the Peninsula I still have no mobile reception as the only carrier here with reception is NextG and Im on Optus. Suffice to say Im in Melbourne most of next 8 business days. Doin those workshop thangs. But at least I'll be always on. <span style="font-style: italic;">Pass the crackberry gprs-pipe.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11021558-5835654995879438083?l=benbarren.blogspot.com'/></div>redbarrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02704855809119083457redbarren@gmail.com1
