In Uganda!
26 August 07 08:35 AM | Brandon Live!
I meant to post something here before I left… oops!  Anyway, we all made it here safe and sound and so far things are going great.  Uganda is beautiful, the people are amazing, and the team I’m with is just great.  I was a little nervous about being the only non-religious team member, but it [...] Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

iPhone apps in your Start menu!
18 August 07 06:54 PM | Brandon Live!
Today comes the first Start++ update since May.  Long overdue, perhaps - but I hope worth the wait :)  As I teased earlier, a major new feature available in 0.7 is the ability to turn many iPhone web apps into Start Gadgets.  There are more examples on the Start++ home page.  But here’s another: Just like [...] Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

BoA saga continues
18 August 07 02:06 PM | Brandon Live!
I just sent the following message to BoA customer service, since they don’t allow direct e-mail or have a “reply” function on the astoundingly unhelpful messages they send to me.  This is unacceptable.  To review my experience so far, visit: http://brandonlive.com/2007/08/16/boa-is-pissing-me-off/ I just received a response to my last message stating that: “Please be advised, Online Banking only allows access [...] Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

BoA is pissing me off
16 August 07 09:50 PM | Brandon Live!
I’ve been mostly happy with Bank of America for the two years or so that I’ve been a customer.  That’s quickly changing.  I just tried to send the following message using their Online Banking customer service e-mail function: This is my third message on this subject, and I’m quite disappointed at the customer service I’ve experienced thus [...] Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

Skipping the continent
04 August 07 09:36 PM | Brandon Live!
Less than three weeks remain until I depart for Uganda!  I finally got our team’s official blog set up a couple nights ago, and you should see posts from the whole team popping up very soon.  I’ll be making more posts there (and here) about the trip as it gets closer, and while we’re there you’ll [...] Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

iPhone update impresses.
01 August 07 04:44 PM | Brandon Live!
It might not contain new “features” per se, and Apple certainly didn’t make much hoopla about the release (as far as I know, there’s still no official changelist apart from the security fixes).  But I’m incredibly happy with it. What’s great about this update is that it fixes every issue that I wanted them to fix [...] Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks
