  • Ning Resolution

    mIt appears that the Ning trouble ticket software couldn’t accept a – in the email address field.  That’s been fixed.

    I also had complained to Paypal that their month charge for the Ning group I had set up shouldn’t have been charged since I couldn’t cancel the account.  That charge is in the process of being refunded.

    I think that harrassing the on Twitter helped a lot. 

    I certainly couldn’t get a response any other way, which is sad. 

    Weird part is that the trial Ning network still exists.

    I do still have click-l.com as a Ning network, as it does somewhat work.

  • Whatever you do, don’t sign up for a Ning Network

    I’ve actually been with Ning for a while – had click-l set up there but the support has always been lousy.  You get what you pay for right?

    Well, I decided to set up another network with their free trial.  For two weeks now, I’ve tried to get the network cancelled, I’ve been charged for the network and I’ve gotten ONE response from Twitter.  It’s impossible to find out how to cancel your account.

    RIght now, I’ve got a ticket with Paypal out, hopefully I’ll be able to get out of the Network that way, and am planning on moving my first account out also, and just took the first step.

  • Novatel Wireless Mobile Hotspot MiFi® 2372

    While I liked the Sprint Overdrive, it used Sprint service and I’ve been with ATT forever.  So I picked up one of these today.

    Here’s the major disappointment, and I really felt bad for the salesguy – they only supplied certain stores.  I can’t my regular store and they said “nope” didn’t have any and stopped at another store that was close to where I was today.  “Nope” they didn’t have any and the sales guy was very upset.  He found two on the way home, and one of those was sold by I got there, not that store is sold out too.

    The sales lady was VERY good, VERY nice, and I got in and out fairly quick.  Unfortunately it takes at least 20 minutes to buy something from ATT even if you know exactly what you are doing. 

    I used it at the gym this evening and I was very pleased.  I’ll see how good it really is on Tuesday.

  • Blogging with typepad and the windows 7 phone

    I really like blogging clients and am bummed I haven't found one for the window 7 phone.

    Right now the best bet is through email. Gives me the predictive keyboard and lets me edit over sessions. All the biggest requirements for blogging clients .

    In fact that is how I am blogging now.

  • Favorite windows phone 7 apps

    One of my favorite windows phone 7 apps is shuffle by album. I used to use the authors software and have followed his blog ever since. Like it so well it’s pinned to my menu.

    I also like the weather channel app – best part is that it shows current conditions on the title.

    Just downloaded and set up remember the milk. The app is called WinMilk – sure wish the outlook task was supported in the office apps but oddly enough it isn’t.

  • still loving my Windows phone 7

    By the way wrote last blog post on it while on a stationary bike  – see ma – no keyboard!  And this one.

    Love the camera button and used it today takes awesome pictures .  Equipment may be disappearing front bag.

    everyone likes the tiles, especially the individual people tiles.

    and a small weird brag – my questions have been on the Zune insider podcast on two episodes now – episodes  94 and 92.

  • 21st Century Technology conference

    just spend the day there.

    it was good.  got sidetracked in the morning but ended up where i wanted to be.  learning how to create lessons with smart notebook software.

    I presented windows movie maker software twice.  The first room was great, the second not so much.

    ran into a bunch of friends including dr. Lenvay who I has not seen in years.  He did the other presentation I participated in.

     

    he showed how to use PowerPoint, Word, and Google apps to differentiate learning .  He was good.

     

    breakfast looked good • lunch was great – good goodie bags and good door prices though didn't win any.

  • Loving Windows Phone 7

    I love the Windows Phone 7 and most everyone who has seen it does.  It's light, a bit big in my hand, but I have small hands, and the display rocks.  I have the Samsung Focus.  I am SO over HTC.  Well, their Windows Phone 7 isn't bad, but this rocks.  I will probably go in and look at the LG, and might swap for the keyboard, but can live with it.

    • Wishes:

  • Trying out Sprints Overdrive hotfoot

    Cute little device -I am in far north McKinney – getting ready for a dog agility trial and it is giving me enough wifi to do email and words with friends on my iPod touch

    It is 3G so it counts against my cap but since it is a few weekends month it should not be too bad.

    Have to see what I get where I train agility.
