I was feeling very enterprising at work this morning (Im on lunch now) and decided to make a nice mail template for something I send out quite often. I didn’t need anything crazy but quickly found some guides and went to work.
You have to manually code via html/css your email template and do all sorts of stupid and useless things like generate plists to make it but here is the catch. Let us liken the generation of this email template to a cute puppy. This is what I made:
Look how awesome my template looks!
So I was really excited to test it out and send it to someone using outlook. What they got was very different, they got the equivalent of this:
ZOMG WHAT ISTHAT?!?!!? WHAT HAPPENED!?
So be aware, it’s not worth using apple mail templates because they look like crap when you send them to people.
I’m feeling very conflicted about keeping my iphone 3G. Is it shiny? Yes. Does it make calls? Yes. Does it tether? sort of…
iPhone Tethering
The most important thing about getting a phone was that I would be able to get high speed internet anywhere I was. I was really looking forward to that functionality. So far I’ve had occasion to use it twice tethered with my laptop and both experiences were lack luster. I followed this guide and tried a few different things. I did manage to get all my apps to connect to the internet by setting my entire computer to use the SOCKS proxy settings required, so at least I could use all my apps with out reconfiguring every last one of them.
Problems with tethering
The biggest problem with tethering is that it depends on your iphone to maintain the right route to the internet, that is to say, it has to continually default to it’s 3G or edge connection for the proxy to function. This has not been my experience, every 5 minutes or so my iphone would default back to the wifi connection and I’d need to reload a page on the iphone to reset the route. That is a pain in the ass and a piece of functionality that is very easy to use in almost every other damn smart phone. Plus it kills the battery life.
So can I really justify paying for an expensive data plan when I could do what I want on any other smart phone for much cheaper? I have a little more than a week to decide whether or not I will take my phone back. What do you think?
What is a Magical Zombie?
Magical Zombies are zombies that have been created by wizards, witches or other people that play Magic the gathering. The are unique in that they generally aren’t contagious, so when they bite someone they won’t become a zombie and they have no grounding in the physical world. Take a look at the examples if you don’t get what I mean:
History in movies
The most comedic of all zombies
You may have noticed from the movie list magical zombies aren’t exactly the biggest threat on film makers minds. They are however very unique and should you ever run into them it’s important to know how to fight them and survive!
Magic Zombie Fact List
- Magical Zombies are generally not infections! Don’t go killing party members because they got bit!
- Their limbs can function independent of their bodies, cut off and arm and the arm will chase you.
- It’s generally agreed that magic zombies TOTALLY hate fire!
- Their attacks are usually limited by geography: get out of the effected town and you should be ok
- They have a nasty habit of popping out of the ground, watch your feet and avoid cemeteries
The Zombie Plan
After you’re done laughing because magical zombies are totally weak take a moment to realize that guns won’t stop them. Even if you blow their head off they’ll keep coming. Even if you chop their limbs off, all you will do is create five parts that are trying to kill you…granted they don’t have much leverage.
Your real goal should be to get out of the area effected by zombies. Stock up on molotov cocktails but remember that anytime you use them whatever building you run into will probably start on fire. Flame throwers are great too and you can make them from scratch!
Shotguns are good too because they won’t end up starting you on fire and they still help slow the zombies down.
If you can’t just leave and you insist on stopping the zombie invasion
That’s easy, just find the shmuck that rose those zombies from the dead and kill ‘em. It might be difficult because they’re magic but it should be easy because they’re total wimps that play Magic: The gathering.
Just remember, if Scooby Doo can survive a Magical zombie attack, you can too.
