Nifty cell trick

For the majority of us checking voicemail costs us minutes. Well I learned today that if I called my own number, I would be connected directly to voicemail. This in turn would be treated as an in network call. No peak minutes spent and no accidental charges should I go over my minutes.

Of course this trick won't stop me from automatically pressing the #1 button each time I have messages. What can I say, habits are tough to break!

Three Weeks

Courtesy of yours truly, my parents and I now own this years official ND Shirt. Just in time for the first game against Georgia Tech on September 1st. Of course what would make the experience even better is an Irish win.

No brainer, right?

There's nothing like college football to pull me out of a blogging doldrum.

The upgrading continues

I'm now on the 4th release candidate of MT. I haven't really run into many bugs during the upgrade process. The only minor annoyance has been fiddling with the templates to make them compatible with this layout, which may see its final days anyway.

The biggest problem has always been and still seems to be my server. Making any changes to the templates seems to throw the script into a kind of white out phase. Deleting more than three comments does the same. Since I can now place my archives into a dynamic state, I'm sure the load on my server is remarkably less, but it shouldn't have been a problem to begin with. The truth is my server can't handle MT right now, and my host can't explain why.
