If u cn rd dis thrs no nd 4U 2 tak dis tst!

Last week, Michele wrote in this post how cell phone technology has impacted culture and business in Asia, and how that trend is moving west.

Yesterday, the title of this online article caught my eye: R u redy 4 uni's txt msj classes?. Before you shake your head and start laughing as I once did, I suggest you go take this short quiz and see how familiar you are with this technology.

The only reason I'm so good at texting now is because Michele persisted in teaching me text messaging through consistent use. As I got better I would txt teasing messages to her or txt jokes about others while we were in meetings together. My aim to make her laugh, was successful and came during an excrutiatingly boring meeting.

In the extended entry you'll find Michele's instructions to me on how 2 txt someone + her top txt msg accronyms to help you get started.

And the message I sent which made Michele laugh outloud... one of my coworkers shared this new acronym with me which I later sent to Michele: TD2M which means: Talk dirty to me.

After she had done blushing and the attention was no longer on her, the txt she sent back was: FU (I don't think I need to translate this, do i?)
My immediate reply was: A3 which means: Anytime, Anywhere, Anyplace

After that she quickly turned her phone off :C [sad face] thus ending our ~~SEX~~ txt chat and my fun. more...

Having a really bad MT day

Yes, I know my date header is on drugs! Tell me something I don't know. After spending what is to me an unreasonable amount of time on trying to fix it, all I can say is: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a darn!"

SO... until somebody comes along and tells me how to freakin' fix this, it's staying that way. Oh by the way, just in case you were considering making any suggestions... [can you tell I'm mad as hell?] you better first tell me why... OH why after setting the following syntax up in my stylesheet template:

<$MTSetVar name="highlight_color" value="#CCCC66"$>

and indicating the corresponding MTGetVar syntax in the .date subsection of my stylesheet, WHY... W.H.Y. IS MY DATE HEADER STILL FREAKIN' GRAY?

So if you've stopped by to read pt. 2 of the mobile blogging post, try guessing when I might be posting it.

Instead, I suggest you go visit:

Eric, of Grumbles Before The Grave, and get his code on Creating a Cell/PDA version of your site with comments enabled. Folks, this is a first for an MT blog community, so get it while you can still say you were the first on your block to have it. Then visit...

Paul, of Light and Dark, who has a great post for ICEing your phone, it's a way of setting up your phone in the event of an emergency with special info. It just might save your life.

Now if you'll excuse me, my hot and sore wrists and elbows need some icing of their own!
