See, I knew you'd find more reasons to use a cel phone once you got one!
heh.
You have been assimilated.

LOL! I'd just left PT and there was no way my wrist was fit for typing. =D

Sorry about that weather. Wait an hour or two, though, and it will change.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

And so it did!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Feel free! Have fun with it.

So how do these gottbewonden phone posts work?

[rougewench.livejournal.com]

Only paid accounts can post them:

This is how you listen to them:

Bene. I think it would be amusing for my amigos to hear my voice now and then.

[solan-t.livejournal.com]

I am so glad I could listen to that!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Glad to help you be glad, hon. =)

Yeah, I know (http://www.livejournal.com/users/stuology_rss/99251.html). Doesn't it suck. I want Spring now.

(And CR is using a cell phone to post to LJ. That makes me giddy! *Giggle*)

Come to Seattle, Kansans!

The cherry and apple blossoms are pretty much over, but the maple trees are leafing out and the hyacinths and hibiscus are coming along nicely.

Spring's almost over.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you also have all that rain the rest of the year. Not many 90 degree, sunny blue sky days there, I hear. For all I gripe about winter, the summers here are worth it. Oh, and thunderstorms!!! No way I could give those up.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I've come a long way, baby.

Ah...

[angelbedwell.livejournal.com]

the sound of Lydia's voice...

Ah....

Of course, I'd only phone post in song...which would be completely ANNOYING...

Hey Lydia...sing something for us? Please?

Re: Ah...

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

sing something for us? Please?
Um. No.

[chronovore.livejournal.com]

Ah. Very succint. Thanks for not posting in .ogg format.

[jjgalahad.livejournal.com]

Ditto. That was the very first LJ phone post I could actually hear!

And yeah, weather sucks one state over as well. Ugh. Too cold, dammit.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Fuck that shit about April being the cruelest month. March is worse. March is a cock tease for the summer people. It gets our hopes up for an early spring and then it says "Oh no I've changed my mind...sorry about your erection, there. Is that painful?" And then it giggles.

I think the .ogg format is weird. I mean, the speaker quality on the average joe's computer is okay at best. Why put your post in a format that only half the people can hear, and of those that can hear it, maybe a quarter could tell the difference of sound quality? Silly.

Glad you enjoyed.

[chronovore.livejournal.com]

Actually, the issue is not really about quality so much as open source and accessibility. The .MP3 format is proprietary, but the .OGG one is not -- it's free. Unfortunately there isn't much support for the format built painlessly into the mainstream operating systems' default players.
