Well, look at the calendar. I posted this on the night of July 29th, which was the full moon. However, the body mechanic ordered me to "take it easy" which eliminates the monthly thrill of the chase and kill. So, I stayed home, chewed up some furniture, keyboards and mice, and snarled at the neighbors chickens.
Being a werewolf has its challenges:

Ummm. Nahhh. I'll pass. Can we get back to holy wars about cellular gadgets?
How'd you get in computer consulting, with such a writing talent?
We're at the bottom. It's all uphill from here. At least I don't think you or I were the worst here.
"Alan Spicer" hath wroth:
I'll resist the temptation to expound in detail on my favorite subject, me. Way back in high skool and college, I was consistently judged to be the most atrocious writer that ever lived. My grades were marginal and my writing unremarkable. The problem was that I believed the grades and acted accordingly in avoiding any manner of writing.
That worked well until I designed a product that needed documentation. I did my honest best and much to my amazement received copious praise from the customers. That was 35 years ago. I've spend considerable time since then working on my writing, poetry, style, and form. The difference is that I no longer care what anyone else thinks of my writing. I'm my own judge and worst critic. It works.
During the dot com era, I did quite a bit of writing and criticism of science fiction business plans and product proposals, mostly for investors. In many cases, those most knowledgeable about a product or service, are the least qualified to analyze or document it. My combination of techy talent, business knowledge, writing skill, caustic criticism, arrogance, disdain for authority, and a dash of humor, was sufficient to get and retain the business.
In short, 35 years of practice and honest self appraisal was what was required. If I had received good writing grades in skool, I would have maintained a smug attitude and done nothing to improve myself.
I have some not so nice things to say about the writing skills of some of those posting in these newsgroups, but I can save that for another rant.
We return you now to the iPhone versus everything.
John, my son was home for the weekend and tried to connect to my wifi network ( found my SSID and I gave him my WPA key) but the iPhone was "Unable to connect"
is this a "hex/ascii" entry problem or an iPhone inherent (being a new device) problem? I don't recall seeing the option for sending hex/ ascii when the password keyboard prompt/disppaly was up. Googling this issue seemed to show that quite a few people are getting ahard time connecting to WIFI network, mostly due to WEP hex/ascii problem.
