Pinochle and Phone Hax
Oct. 8th, 2006 10:49 pmSpent the weekend down at Deb and Thorin's. This was fun; I drove down, so my car has now had it's first tank of gas (avg MPG 36) . Also, we learned Deb's version of double-deck pinochle, which was a blast, I think. Definitely worth playing again later.
My Razr is a pretty phone, except for the fact that Verizon built its own OS for it, and then turned off all the features that allow me to make it _my_ phone, rather than a three-and-a-half-gram Verizon ad.
People on the 'net are so friendly; they found all the little toggles and wrote up a hex-editor for the purpose of hacking the phone. I'm so going to spend most of tomorrow making the phone dance to _my_ damn tune rather than the phone company's.
hackity hack... Geek toys ftw.
ETA: 2am... No no no no NO more caffeine after noon or so. Certainly not a mocha with dinner, even if it is before the drive home. AAaaargh. Thank god I'm not going to work ... tomorrow. This morning. feggin hell.
