Casey Key Drum Circle.

So, I’ve moved in with my significant other (yay!), and part of that move is a reconfiguration of my office space. Part of this involves me examining things I’ve been holding onto for a while. Those things? Software packaging. Giant, shelf-space hogging, software packaging. Boxes, just filled with cardboard & plastic, so as to take up more space on retail shelves, so that they get noticed by consumers and picked up. I just recycled so much of that stuff.

Now that we’re in the age of electronic software distribution, that won’t be so much of a problem. That said, I couldn’t bear to part with my box for American McGee’s “Alice”, one of the first games I bought for the first computer I bought, all the way back in 2001. So there’s a part of me that regrets this loss of the physical manifestation of software, too. The future of software will be a colder place in that regard.

iPhone keeps forgetting my phone number

My phone has been doing this every so often for the past few months, most often, when trying to view a text message. I’m a bit confused as to why this is something I can even set. This link suggests turning iMessage off/on & making sure Messages is set up to receive messages on my phone and my Apple ID. Will be trying this out & will report results here.

Update, 10/15/2012:
So, I haven’t seen this issue since I made the modification. However, I’ve since also upgraded to iOS 6, so I can’t tell if that’s why I’m not seeing it anymore. Either way, works for me!
