midimusic, I went by my local AT&T store at 5, and there were about 100 people in line. Since I figured they'd have about 1/10th the number of phones that the Apple store did, I headed to the nearest Apple store, and got in line at 5:45, with about 500 people in front of me. Had my phone by 7pm :-)

Leo, maybe you could kill two birds with one stone here -- buy the Octo, and use it to do some light grilling once it gets good and warmed up...
-
Illy, Lavazza... If you're really serious about your espresso, you roast your own beans... The flavor peak drops off rapidly about 3 - 7 days after roasting.
(Geeze, I'm a geek even when I'm not near a computer....)
-
Ain't it the truth...
-
There was a time when the entire computer industry ran on coffee and cigarettes...
-
Dan -- yep, all of that... Plus we could use a Windows Smartphone client, too, as long as we're adding to the wishlist.
And for the love of God, let's lose that S60 ad on the Overview page before my gadget addiction forces me to go buy an N95...
-
Lennie -- how do you know the student doesn't swill espresso and smoke? God knows I do both, and I barely speak enough French to get slapped...
-
Wow -- you're a first rate exchange host, Leo! Are you taking candidates from Texas? :-)
-
Y83ross -- Excellent! That's what I was missing... I guess I just assumed that that was another link to Manage Comments, and never went there....
Apparently boneheads like me do need it on the Overview page :-)
-
lol -- yeah, I figured out that posting a comment was a way to blather longer, but I hadn't quite figured out yet that I should write the whole thing beforehand and then cut 'n paste it in...
Basically, I need MarsEdit Jaiku Edition...
-
Is using comments to post more than 140 characters cheating in this medium? :-)

How I use Twitter is that I keep Twitterific open on my desktop. When I've been away, or ignoring it, I go out to my Twitter page, back up X number of pages until I'm at the last post I saw, and read forward to catch up.
So far, I haven't figured out a way to do similar with Jaiku -- the "Home" page won't let you back up in the timeline.
I've dumped the RSS feed to my feed reader, but that's a poor solution -- it's slow to update, and loses the immediacy of the interface.
I expect we'll see good desktop clients soon, but the history problem needs to get solved too..

My fallbacks from FIOS are Comcast, EVDO, and smoke signals, in that order...
If all that fails, it's camp-at-Starbucks time...
-
Verizon (and GTE before 'em) was my local telco for 20 years - it helps if you think of them less as a malignant organization, and more as a blind dumb force of nature...

Yep -- I bet the lights dimmed in the Jaiku data center when Leo announced he was coming over here...
-
Sure enough -- somebody just added me, and there it was. It'd still be nice to be able to review them (should I ever have enough to keep track of....)
