Twitter feed?
May. 29th, 2010 09:48 pmCan anyone tell me how to have my tweets automatically posted here? I promise to restrain myself and not twitter mindlessly. :D
Unfortunately I still don't have an easy way to post directly to LJ from my phone.
Speaking of which, I'll probably be posting some mini-reviews of Droid apps soon. Does anyone else on my flist have a Droid, though? Other than Teri? She doesn't count, she doesn't read my journal - and if I find a great app, I'll just install it for her anyway. I'm her IT person as far as the Droid goes. :D

Droid scare
May. 29th, 2010 09:53 pmHad a bit of a scare with my Droid today (okay, it's a cheat to call it a "Droid"; technically it's a Motorola Backflip, running a version of the Android 1.5 OS that has been deliberately crippled by AT&T).
But anyway, I went to a webpage which was supposed to have some video that I thought Sebastian would like to see. Instead, it locked up my browser with a "you've won a prize!" message. What was scary was that that award page stayed on top no matter what I did. I couldn't close it. I couldn't even call up the menu! I could switch out of the browser, but when I started it up again, there was that damned page. And I certainly wasn't going to click "OK", which was the only option.
I spoke with AT&T on the phone. Eventually I ended up turning off the phone, pulling out the battery, replacing it, and re-starting. The browser started up clean. But I cleared the cache and several other things immediately, just to be safe.
Like I said, scary!
