Still, I will be getting that battery checked out at an Apple Store when I get home. This is the second 3GS that has had battery issues for me. Another issue that has crept up; I only have a 2GB memory card for my Nikon D40. This has never been a problem before, as I usually dump down photos every day to the laptop, and I’ve never had a single day where I’ve taken 2GB of photos. But now I have no way to move any photos off the card to make room for more, so I’m going to have to get another card soon. Luckily, cards have gotten much cheaper than they used to be. I figure a 16GB one will do the trick for the rest of the trip. AT&T? It is what it is. I’ve had no issues in El Paso. Maybe the occasional deadspot, but 3G pretty much everywhere. I did have a weird issue close to the border when I went downtown last night. My phone involuntarily switched me over to Telcel, which is a Mexican carrier. I got a text message from AT&T warning me of the switch, and informing me of the astronomical rates I’d now be paying for voice and data. I made sure my International Roaming was off, put my phone into airplane mode or a while, and it eventually bumped me back to AT&T. So little harm done. Still, I’ll be checking my bill this month for sure. Signal in New Mexico was spotty at times today, but I was hiking in the middle of nowhere for a large portion of that, so I can’t complain there. Still, makes you wonder about people who still think full-time cloud computing is practical. People do leave their homes and offices on occasion.
