I have a bit of a confession, well just a sort of shameful story I am sort of not wanting to write. But anyway, someone I know won a cell phone the other day and didn't need it, so I got it. I got it hooked up or whatever and then I read the manual where it says you can get email through it. I called them to get instructions about that, and it turns out I don't have an email address for the phone, people just have to go to the cell company web page and enter my number and type a message.
So okay, this is the shameful part: I actually thought "no problem, I will write a program that takes all the mail sent to a special address and uses them to submit the form on the cell company's page right from my mail server that will send me the message". Luckily it only took a few minutes before I realized: That is exactly what an asshole would do. And then if they were a really big asshole, they'd write about it on their online web diary/weblog page. So I writing this to sort of atone for my momentary slip. I am both sorry and scared at what I might be turning into.
(ugh! I went to change a typo here and I erased a bunch of this entry, so I redid what I could remember, oops. Me no good with typey typey! Keyboard + sore hands - problems for Andrew)
