Hello, its been awhile..Sorry bout that.

Well yes I have been MIA from here for a bit. Work has been keeping me pretty busy lately. Long hours and 6 days a week make for a tired old man. That doesn't mean I have been out of the loop though and I have a few things I am going to touch on here today.


First up is my poor carrier, They switched to a new system. Now normally one would think that was a good thing. But.... They were down for 4 days and when they came back online things went a miss. I have been getting reports of phones being activated but not actually coming on until the midnight hour, some not at all. Billing has been a nightmare. I have yet to receive my bill as have many others. I am hoping that things come together soon as customers will not wait for long. Its different when we the customers make an error, but when its a company we pay money to we tend to be fickle. Lets hope thing get better soon.



Next up, SD cards. I picked up a class 10 32GB San-disk card last week. I loaded 1100 songs on it then copied said songs to another SD card then loaded them into my two phones. The one that got the new card then started doing something a phone has never done to me before. It would randomly shut off. Not reboot mind you, but just flat out shut off. Some time s it would do it twice in a day sometimes only once. Now I never panic so I monitored this for a few days, I just forwarded my calls to the other phone so I didn't miss anything. After a few days I finally pulled the card and stuck another one in. The phone has been perfect (once again) ever sense. I will be returning the card for replacement today... if the rain lets up. Which brings me to the next subject.



I live in central Oregon. the area is called "The High Desert" We don't get a lot of rain here, on average we get 10" Which we got last night in the storm from hell The rain came sometime during the night, not exactly sure what time it was as I was dead asleep from a LONG LONG day. But the thunder woke me a few times, but only when it was loud enough to shake the whole house. Then the rain came down in buckets. I would of loved to gotten up and watched the rain fall but my body said NO! So I stayed in bed and listened until I went back to la la land. When I woke the rain was gone and I was ready to start my day. My day off always starts at Starbucks. So off I went. Now here I am with my laptop in tow and just a light jacket. You will never guess what its doing outside...SMDH Its raining and has been for the better part of an hour. I am trying to wait it out but just how much coffee can a guy pour in him?.. I will update you on this when I find out.


Next, I have not forgotten the "Knox" feature I promised. Just haven't had a lot of time to be gathering all the info I want. I did stop into the Samsung store that is now in my local Best Buy store. I asked the guy about Knox and the look on his face told me before his mouth did "I have heard of it" I looked at him and asked "You are supposed to be a Samsung specialist aren't you?" He didn't answer but he did Google it....Again SMDH. I will get said info and post about it soon.


And the other post I promised is just about done, I have a few more pics to do and then I will let that one out to the public.


Get some rest and get ready for the weekend peeps something tells me there is a ton of tech news coming this month!
