Guys, this is frustrating the hell out of me and anything you could do to even point me in the right direction would be *super* helpful. I'm looking in particular at apetslife, who I know does network admin stuff, but anyone who can help will have my undying gratitude ( Read more... )

Getting up at 7: annoying
Shelling out $450 for hardware, a service plan, and insurance: really, really annoying
Posting this on my brand-new iPhone 3G: FLIPPING SWEET

Howdy. I'm baaaaaaaack! And, I might add, exhausted. I have a love-hate relationship with flying cross-country.

Anyway, there has been a lot of to-do about Strikethroughgate 2: Electric Disappearance Of LJ Users With No Warning Boogaloo, but y'all, come on. I just bought my permanent account a couple months ago. I'm not going anywhere. These ( Read more... )
