Fix for WiFi problems after iPhone 3.0 upgrade→

I’ve had this problem the past few days where it’s been really hard to connect to WiFi… I’m not even sure it has worked at all at home, and at work it’s been spotty. Turns out it may be due to the latest iPhone update. It’s not to hard to fix though, tap:

  1. Settings
  2. General
  3. Reset…
  4. Reset Network Settings

Afterward go back in and redo your WiFi settings and you’ll be all set.

I think this is my favorite comment because it’s #251, and thus the confusion has been well documented, but more-so because Darlene thinks that she could take Facebook/RWW to court for the injustices put upon her.

Holy crap. This is priceless. See Neven Mrgan’s funny comments here.

Probably it would be unwise to say too much about my job. After all, any “artist” with a profession is bound to have an ambivalent attitude towards it: one loves it sometimes for not being one’s art, and hates it sometimes for the same reason. I don’t think that, if one needs money, being an artist is sufficient excuse for shirking the job that feeds one, and I try to do mine conscientiously for that reason alone….The best thing to do is to try to be utterly schizoid about it all – using each personality as a refuge from the other.
