Enough is enough... but it's hard to pass on Chinese food. Incidentally, the Orange Chicken from Costco is a win.

No... We'd have to hear him scream. Would be worse than the WOOooo WOOooo.

Ok, that was funny.

I'm sitting at a United gate - and if they don't board me soon I'll be too zonked to get on! What a hell of a week this has been - super-crazy clients with super-crazy rush demands after dragging their feet for too long... late nights there, later nights at home trying to get everything ready for the wedding I'm in this weekend... oy vey. At least I'm in transit now.

Soooo....

I have been fighting with getting Susan's email setup. It just didn't want to work. C'mon... it's freakin EMAIL!!!

I was trying every variable I could think of: verifying that I had the password correct by logging in via web mail, checking port settings, whether her account name was supposed to include the @ sign and domain name, waving a chicken over my head. I threw the whole gauntlet at it.

Out of curiosity, I set up her Mindspring mail account. It set up easily and as it was supposed to. Okay, so the problem is with DSL Extreme.

So, I go to look up their number again. Go to the web site to get the number again. While there, I see a special message about "If you are having troubles setting up your email..." and think "AHA! they have a known problem!" Recently, they changed their system and required people to have passwords longer than eight characters. I had changed Susan's the other night (her old one was only 7 characters), and thought maybe something came up because of everyone changing their password.

So I click on the link and there was a guide for setting up Entourage (which is what she uses for mail). I check all of the steps to ensure i had things set up properly (I did!).

So next, I decide to copy the actual text of what is supposed to be in each mail box and paste it where applicable.

But when I pasted, I noticed a slight shift in the text. Hmm...

After several rounds of Paste, Undo, Paste, Undo, I made a remarkable and important discovery:

There is an "r" in "dslextreme.com"

Yep, seems the problem was all user error. I don't know how to type properly.

Time for bed methinks.

I'm discovering what I can and can't do with my iPhone. It's a pretty. Cool device.
