This post is being written with the WordPress app for iPhone.
As expected, it’s pretty awkward to use, but functional.
It’s going to take some getting used to … but I’m pretty sure this isn’t the next ‘killer app’.
FWIW: This post was originally entered on the iPhone, but edited in regular WordPress.
What a pain … Discover card has issued Ginny and I new cards with new account numbers.
A few weeks ago I got an email from Discover indicating that we were getting a new account number …
As part of a recent systems upgrade, you will be issued a new Discover Card with a new account number.
At first I thought it was just another phishing scam … but they had all the relevant information correct (last 4 digits of the card number and my full name).
For the past two weeks my daily Quicken download was failing on the Discover account … so I guess it’s legit.
Well, today the new cards came and, as promised, a new account number. Now I get to go through the hassles of changing credit card number with those vendors I have recurring charges with. What a pain.
This begs the question … why would they need to issue a new account number? According to another website I found Discover is doing this to “millions” of their customers. This smells very very fishy. Another site I found mentioned a “security update”. Bill Roper ran into the same thing … except he found someone doing fraudulent charges on his old account.
Methinks that Discover had a security breach recently … and aren’t owning up to it.
I can’t wait for this iPhone application …
It’s not available on the iTunes App Store yet … so I’ll just have to cool my jets for a bit.
Ok, I got both iPhones upgraded to the 2.0 version of the iPhone OS.
Initially, I had some trepidation about upgrading a day early … and my feeling seemed to be valid when a co-worker tried to upgrade his phone and had a bunch of problems. He kept getting an “Unknown error (6)” message. I don’t know if he actually got his upgraded.
Regardless, I decided to throw caution to the wind and upgrade my phone anyways. Luckily, it worked without a single hitch.
When I got home from work, I proceeded to upgrade Ginny’s phone. This, of course, is where I ran into problems.
I started the upgrade process by first upgrading her iTunes to 7.7. That worked without any problems. Then I proceeded to upgrade her phone.
Initially it was going OK … then I got an “Unknown error (10)” message. Figuring that I would just restore the phone to it’s previous OS version, I tried the restore option … but when I did this I got an “Unknow error (20)” message. Tried a few more times and got the same message. This is not good.
I Googled around a bit and found a thread in the Apple support forum that said that, if I pressed Option (shift in Windows context) and clicked the restore button, I could ‘Recover’ to the 2.0 firmware. Luckily this worked.
About 20 minutes later I had Ginny’s iPhone working fine.
Five minutes after that, I we were both playing with the “Phone Saber” application.
Well, I jumped the gun a bit and installed the iPhone 2.0 update.
Overall, I’m not super impressed … the incremental functionality improvements are rather limited.
Some of the applications look cool, but I’ve only played with a few of them.
What I’m really disappointed in is the lack of base functionality enhancements … things like ..
It really sucks to be suck … especially on a holiday.
Yesterday I stayed home from work because I wasn’t feeling good. At one point during the day I had a fever of 100.1.
Today I’m feeling better, but not 100%.
Originally, Ginny and I were planning on going to my folks house for the 4th of July, but I don’t want to risk getting anyone else sick.
So today I’m just going to relax and take it easy. Maybe try to get together with my folks on Sunday.
