Droid broke, plus bonus contact erasure John: Have a droid issue. Screen.... got broken Replacement pending of screen, not droid. or should I say... The f*cking thing me: Were you doing silly outdoor things? John: Oh no... trying to use it. Did not work, per usual me: You aren't supposed to use a hammer when swyping John: It is not convinced by a smart fist to the screen. F*cking thing me: I see. Yes. Hmmm. Quite. Indeed. John: Tap an app and.... setting come up! Tap settings and the phone would dial. great intuitive function that. John: Watched as all my contacts disappeared one by one.... Check gmail and Voila! so efficient.... they are gone there too. What a great system f*cking thing me: I wish I coulf but fuckingthing.com for you, but it probably violates an fcc rule could buy not sure what a coulf butt is. Sounds more like a condition than a noun, though Sent at 10:00 PM on Monday John: Bed time for me now. Poop first. Pre warning message me: Oh wait. It is available. Night sweetie John: It is... is it? What is... it? me: fuckingthing.com Sent at 10:03 PM on Monday John: You should snap that up. me: Just did Sent at 10:04 PM on Monday And we're back.... John: New screen on Droid. I can READ again! Fuckingthing Sent at 7:21 AM on Tuesday me: Huzzzzahhhhh! Welcome back Boot, repeat. John: Hmm... So... The new updated, upgraded, anticipated, version of chat no longer displays what I just sent... That's so... Wonderfully useful No history, no record. Just my very own manipulable memory as reference. Luckily for me though, I can insure that spelling to errors are corrected before sending. And given the wondrous accuracy of Swype, ink always have plenty of editing opportunities. Oh! Look! A dancing ellipsis! Isn't that just so fucking cute! What a great device this is, I tell you. Fuckingthing Sent at 7:58 AM on Wednesday John: One more advantage I've found is that to send messages all I need to do is simply reboot! ... Every hour or so seems make things much better. Wow what a system. Sent at 8:00 AM on Wednesday me: Oh hey, sorry for delay in reply, was just rebooting my phone Sent at 8:02 AM on Wednesday Out! Into the Snow! John: Hmm... Another cool fucking thing feature is the apparent refusal to show what is being just sent Nice Must be time to reboot. It has been nearly three hours of trouble free operation since the last functional failure. There was that maps thing of putting me in Connecticut, but hey its only one state off. Sent at 8:01 AM on Tuesday John: Ah yes, we be back again. Almost as stable as windows 3.1! Sent at 8:04 AM on Tuesday me: I seem to recall Windows 3.1 yielding at least 3.5 of productivity before the desire to defenestrate the dang thing would peak Sent at 8:12 AM on Tuesday John: I have successfully defenestrated this fucking thing three times now. Sent at 8:14 AM on Tuesday me: And you were able to locate it under all this forsaken white Crap? Sent at 8:16 AM on Tuesday John: It's all in the tracking... As in... Look that's where it went into the lovely snow. The world is better with it... Over there Sent at 8:18 AM on Tuesday me: So what is your plans this weekend? Drunk in a snowbank somewhere above a tree line again? Sent at 10:33 AM on Thursday John: Snowbanks only exist down with you people that need to drive. In the mountains it's glorious Pow. And yes. Other than work ruining my Friday, I will be looking to get above treeline. Or in treeline. Or on slopes me: wear a jacket, monkey Sent at 11:16 AM on Thursday John: If nessah... I'll put the jacket on. Looks to be in the balmy 20s for Saturday. me: Oh geez. Heat wave. Watch for melting snow, avalances, glacial movement, etc Sent at 11:19 AM on Thursday John: And somehow... F-ing thing loses connection. I'll be right back after this every more frequent reboot. Actually yes. Quite above preferable temps of about 0F. In the 20s everything gets wet and melty. Sent at 11:22 AM on Thursday John: Oh and another cool newly discovered fucking thing feature: recent forced update for phone has broken Bluetooth... Isn't that awesome!? Sent at 11:24 AM on Thursday me: Wow, that IS awesome. Especially since software update was only a programmatic change to how roaming to CA operates. Very cool. Sent at 11:25 AM on Thursday John: I see it as yet another feature to fucking thing. Manually fixing the fixes that fixed things that didn't need fixing. Sent at 3:08 PM on Thursday John: I'm really looking forward to the day when the fucking thing functions smartly and works at very least as a phone. Wouldn't that be just fucking amazing!? Work has closed down and I am on the roads of fun me: I am still at work. Went out for lunch and faced all those morons who don't know how to drive. Sent at 3:09 PM on Thursday
