Happy Easter Tuesday to everyone. I hope that this Easter Octave holds blessings and happiness for you.

As for me, I have a new toy to play with. I am currently the proud owner of a new cell phone. I did the eBay thing and bought it there, so it’s unlocked. There is only one small difference about the phone - it’s British. That’s right, my phone spells things weird. Instead of Call Forwarding it’s Call Divert, instead of Customize, I Customise and I now send text messages through the Message Centre. Oh well…

Given that the phone is unlocked, there are a few things I had to do to get it to work seamlessly with T-Mobile’s service. I did some good searching last night and finally was able to get the drivers to work on the computer to hex edit the phone. Of special importance was the fact that my voicemail icon did not work properly. After some grueling hours of driver madness (I forgot how much easier it was to have an Apple), I was able to get my hex editor to pick up the phone for some fun (albeit nerve-wracking) customization.

Speaking of drivers, man I love my iMac. If there’s one thing about Windows that I don’t miss, it’s the whole driver shuffle. Is this the current driver? Is there a driver available? Etc… In fact, I never understood why Windows allows you to search the Microsoft website for a driver, because it never finds one anyway. Does anyone else see that as a waste of time. Go Apple. The driver madness ends right there. Just sit back, relax and the OS will take care of it all.
