I broke email. I broke one server yesterday, we discovered it today, and then in fixing it I overloaded and thus broke two more email servers. I did good. :) That was a weird one though, glad that's over. Otherwise mainly small crazy stuff. People still seem to be missing files all over the place a lot more often than normal. And then they ask me to restore stuff and don't know which folder it was actually in 5 levels up. After work I finally went with my Dad and we started getting the whole cell phone deal fixed. We were working with the rep and had all 6 phones we were messing with out on the counter and one of the other reps looks over and is like "What are you guys doing?" Basically we ended up porting 2 numbers from Sprint and got 4 phones free so it wasn't as bad as it sounds. Although because of the name thing with porting we have to go in as soon as that finishes and move 5 of the phones from 3 different accounts onto one account. My phone is the
Nokia 3589i, which we found out (after picking it and it being one of the cheaper phones in the bunch) that it is getting the reputation for the best phone overall with Verizon for service quality. Anyways being a Nokia I quickly hopped into programming mode and had some fun. Apparently phones when porting get a temporary phone code internally which is interesting. I also found this IP address and port which arin has assigned to Bell Atlantic (which is the former name of Verizon for those not paying attention). Might have to investigate that one a bit further. As for the GetItNow feature, it pretty much sucks. Everything in there they want money for. There is a weather thing which could be cool, but it's much better if I write a perl script to listen on an email address and bounce me back any data I want - cheaper, faster, and easier to use. Oh well. The browser thing appears to be broken (something about security - wouldn't be surprised if it's the SSL cert thing), although don't know that I'd use that much. Now I just need to get everything out of the old phone and into the new...
