@FedexDolores @FedexRobin @FedexAl @FedExDelivers FedEx delivery people REALLY need to start ringing the bell before deciding we're not home #
@FedexDolores @FedexRobin @FedexAl @FedExDelivers 2 days in a row now -- with an extremely URGENT package he didn't bother to ring the bell #
@FedexDolores if the delivery person doesn't REdeliver the package this afternoon we miss our flight. It'd be wasting $225. unacceptable. in reply to FedexDolores #
@FedexDolores I've been here all day, both days. Never even bothered to ring the doorbell both days. unacceptable & he has my phone # in reply to FedexDolores #
@FedexDolores @tessa6461 is my girlfriend. it's her package FedEx refuses to deliver. AND we paid $70 for overnight delivery. want $ back in reply to FedexDolores #
I will go out of my way to never use FedEx again. What a cluster f**k this is. Absolutely ridiculous. #
@FedexDolores just sent you the details in an email. thank you for any help. in reply to FedexDolores #

Enjoying some desperately needed rain here in Brooklyn http://twitpic.com/24696i #
Watching the #worldcup ..with beer/mimosas...I know. It's rough. #

Dear Road Runner -- it's official: you guys suck. Worst customer service Ever. 3 weeks, this is pathetic. #roadrunner #twcable #
@TWCableHelp I really do appreciate the reply - however, someone from you group tried to help last week. (part 1 of 2) in reply to TWCableHelp #
@TWCableHelp They basically told me to wait for the technician...which has now been another week. (part 2 of 2) in reply to TWCableHelp #
@TWCableHelp how should I get you my account info? in reply to TWCableHelp #
@TWCableHelp here's the full run down of my situation if it helps to clarify things: http://shorttext.com/9xc29daiu5 in reply to TWCableHelp #
@jeffTWC here's the full run down of my situation: http://shorttext.com/9xc29daiu5 very unhappy as you might imagine. in reply to jeffTWC #
@bangbang023 closet racist ignorant asses. I completely agree. in reply to bangbang023 #
@geeksofdoom I'll prove your "100% iPhone 4" satisfaction myth wrong then. I expect a $200 phone to actually work as a phone. in reply to geeksofdoom #
@jeffTWC They said they couldn't help either. They said to wait for the technician unfortunately. in reply to jeffTWC #
I already need a nap, and it's only 9AM ...not good. #
@jeffTWC @twcablehelp the technician showed up. Looked at things for 10 mins and then left. Left his stuff, mandatory lunch break I guess? in reply to jeffTWC #
@jeffTWC @twcablehelp is it reasonable to request being bumped up to RR Turbo for the price of "regular" service after all of this? in reply to jeffTWC #
@TWCableHelp email sent a little while ago. Thanks. in reply to TWCableHelp #

@Stimpy5050 so it's safe to add the weather plugin to LockInfo now? Previously it installed WeatherIcon and caused a crash on OS 4 in reply to Stimpy5050 #
@Stimpy5050 bug using clock hide and clockweather on OS4. No way to get rid if extra date at the top. http://twitpic.com/1yququ in reply to Stimpy5050 #
@Stimpy5050 when I load the pref. for ClockHide it just says "There was an error loading the preferences bundle for Clock Hide" in reply to Stimpy5050 #
@Stimpy5050 yes, sorry. iOS4 on a 3G ...Clock Hide preferences won't load. Should I try just removing/reinstalling Clock Hide? in reply to Stimpy5050 #
@Stimpy5050 icon display is off on the weather plugin for LockInfo also. sun is shift about 20px too low. Need screen? in reply to Stimpy5050 #
@Stimpy5050 the current weather icon is shifted down several pixels. http://twitpic.com/1yrktn in reply to Stimpy5050 #
@bendodson too bad the iPhone version of iBooks isn't displaying PDF files (like it should be). in reply to bendodson #

@Twitterrific kind of sketchy that you just charged me again for the in-app "pro" upgrade even though I previously had purchased the app. #

AweSync: Bridging the Gap Between Lotus Notes and gCal

xxdesmus — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:19:16 +0000

Do you use Lotus Notes? Do you use Google Calendar in your web browser or on your phone? I've searched high and low looking for an option to bridge this gap -- luckily AweSync solves that problem. Initially I was hesitant to give new software a shot because I had fears that I'd mess up my work calendar. Fear not! AweSync's software worked splendidly. The software setup could not be simpler -- I selected my Lotus Notes account, provided my Google Calendar authentication information, selected the Google Calendar I wanted to sync with, and clicked sync. That's it! I went from maintaining two calendars to having them completely in sync within 5 minutes of finding out about the application. The only suggestion I have that I hope AweSync eventually moves to use OAuth for the Google authentication instead of using username/password like they currently do. I highly recommend this application for anyone in the situation I was. $20 is a very reasonable price to make my life easier.
