Geeking Out

I imagine the iPhone is going to be a big deal this Christmas. So far, I haven't heard of any carriers in Canada, and I read a few tech blogs.

In the last couple days I have seen some ads for getting an iPhone in Canada. I went to the website,and did a little reading. Hah, someone has set up a company that is importing iPhones, that must have been hacked. No fully carrier supported phone provider would have a quote
"We'll ship you and iPhone that's ready to go and is LEGAL to be used in Canada. Lean more"

(no that is not a typo).

The site looks pretty lame by Apple standards with a few typos and inconsistencies. There are no big logos for any of the carriers, and they mention these phones will work on any GSM network. It smacks of a scam to me. It may be on the up and up, but this really seems odd.

Some clothing for the link of the day.

There is the 8bit color Tie:

I love BoingBoing.

Apple support why do you anger me? I want a simple web form to submit a request for help for my Apple account. I DO NOT want to call you. I don't have time for to hang out on hold (I assume that is what is going to happen).

I simply want to change the country on my account. Why can't I do that? People move you know. Somehow the country listed show the US. I live in Canada, and the rest of my address shows that. I want to fix it, but you won't let me.

Grrrr.

After reading some documentation, I was able to fix my two mini-modules that only display a block. I'm happy to have me specially formatted recent comments back, and my own little content discovery block, aptly named "This Day in".

Now, to figure out how to export drupal 5 image nodes to a format that can be imported on another drupal 5 site.
