Washing Machine 2, John’s phone 0… lost another phone to the washing machine, either I need to find a phone that is waterproof or stop doing laundry… \ud83d\ude09 We did find out, after finally “guessing” the Verizon account password (least we didn’t get locked out this time), that Susan was eligible for an upgrade. I’m glad we got to the Verizon store when we did, because it seems they move really slow and there was a couple people waiting in line for a LONG time while Susan got her new phone set up and transferred her old one to my number. I guess I have a little more knowledge then most people who go to the store and I really wanted to argue with the sales rep, but I kept my mouth shut… <\/p>\n
He first tried to tell us the Eris wouldn’t support Adobe Flash because it had out of date software… I told him the reason we didn’t have flash on our phones was due to the fact the processor is arm v6, not supported by a lot of stuff, including flash. He looked blankly and was like no it’s because you don’t have the latest Android version. I then wanted to say, oh yeah well before my Eris took a swim it was running Gingerbread and this phone is running Froyo… but I didn’t. After he got Susan’s phone set up, he went about resetting her Eris, once it booted it up he was like “whoa, I haven’t seen this version in awhile”… dude it’s what is running on YOUR phone… stock Android 2.2. We got home and first thing I did was flash Gingerbread on it, hah take that… my end-of-life Eris has Android 2.3 while that sales rep is still waiting for Verizon to release an update to his phone. Susan seems pretty excited about the phone… Angry Birds is actually playable on it! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
As far as work goes, things are in the hurry up and wait process. I have a ton of stuff to get done, but can’t do it until other programmer’s get their changes in. I had a surprise project dropped on me earlier this week that I had to code against what I thought the other programmer was going to do. His stuff doesn’t work 100%, but my stuff does, so things are looking good… for me! The commute isn’t AS bad as I thought it was going to be, it still kinda sucks getting home closer to 6, but it’s working out for the most part. Hopefully I’ll be doing my open water dives this weekend to get certified, should have an update on that next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
