That's a handy feature. I use google voice to send SMS text messages.

Also, If you're texting someone who uses an iPhone, you can use iMessage from a Mac. Not the exact same thing as SMS, but from within the walled garden of Apple's closed ecosystem it serves the same purpose.

Google voice, on the other hand, allows you to send a real SMS to any cell phone irrespective of the operating system. Texting is totally free. Just pick one of the available cell numbers in your area code. There's also a function to call someone on the telephone via Google voice, but I never use that function. Can't remember if domestic calls cost money or just international calls.

:| Super busy week coming up, and I have no ide how I will do on my tests. I'm trying to get my time budgeted out so I use it effectively, but I'm really worried how it will all go. I also have a very long homework, and a paper to get done...

:oops: And apparently, other people somehow caught wind of my relationship mess, and they are all on my ass to talk to her about it. Which, unless they know something I don't, flies in the face of all the advice I've gotten except for samson's... I guess I'll give it a go if she shows up to church, but I still don't know if I even want to know.

The broken GBA SP pearl blue has more to the story before I figured there would be come friday.

The guy mails me again over the case thing, just pastes the same false thread of my fault for his crappy packing job and accusation of swapping systems despite looking the same and with the serial number on there clearly unmolested.

Then I get a second email, he tries to cute me a partial refund... $5.

Umm no. $66.70 shipped, he packs the SP very tight in a wrap of bubbles inside a ziplock with the games against the shell and the manuals in between the system top/bottom which caused it to crack in half. When the box took enough of a hit to blow out the large airbags inside there.

Happy Birthday!

Thirty is a great age to be, dude. I'm thirty-two now, and these have been the best years of my life so far. I hope your thirties are awesome, Xeo!

:( WPA2 is vulnerable now. This is one of the better summaries in my opinion: https://www.alexhudson.com/2017/10/15/w ... krack-now/

We are going to have to make major changes to our wifi network at work. I just ruined my network admin's week by letting him know about this.

Yay been wanting this for years but the new and strangely still used price at $30 a book (12 volumes) was very off putting, but today at 15 shipped a book it arrived. :D

28lb box cost the guy $38 shipping priority which is nuts. -- Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin -- all hardcover books.

To continue the computer related woes, I plugged in my backup drive this morning only to discover all my files were gone :evil: Thankfully, most of what was on there was saved elsewhere, but I've lost a lot of vids and photos. I'm just thankful that I still have all the pictures from vacation still on the camera card.

Does anyone know a good data recovery tool for Macs?
