IJBM: Having a job that involves talking to a lot of people has led to my speech patterns being more distinctively Alabamian.
From what I've read, the HTC will last about 9 hours (while the Galaxy lasts about 8.5 hours) if you just use it for calls/text/few simple apps. I've gotten my HTC to last about 2.5 days without a charge if I didn't use it.
If you use it constantly the HTC will last about 6 hours vs. the Galaxy's 7.5 hours.
Basically, the Galaxy has lower total battery life but is more efficient when lots of stuff is running.
My old HTC Wildfire lasted a couple of days as long as I wasn't actively using it, and that's with the wifi connection active. Dunno about without it.
Protips:
I just set Gmail to auto-archive and mark as read all messages with "[Duck Soup]" in the subject.
Hopefully I remember to remove that filter in the case that I end up participating next year.
This seems much less interesting now that I've actually typed it out. Still, weird coincidence. Or...conspiracy???
Quote from another forum:
I always forget how awesome it is to be a member a forum where pretty much all of the regulars know how to type.
Name and number on my arm, too bad I can't into Chinese.
Also, I think working in a "formal" working environment has gotten me used to not working (or studying) at all outside of it.
^Finally, someone else who reads that LP.
I did, lost interest.
So, plans for this year?
RE: Phones: I have an HTC Sensation 4G and it's decent, I guess. I wish I could figure out the odd glitches on mine (seems to reboot at purely random times, I keep getting notifications telling me to make room on the SIM card when there's nothing to remove, though it's probably because the SIM was likely swapped in from my last phone).
Wow transferring music is painful (simple drag and drop doesn't allow for playlists)
I came out to my mum last night
One of the reasons I hang around the TVTropes crowd, honestly.
Though I've picked up various rapforumisms like "tbh".
It went okay. Mum was really accepting, and seems to be okay with the idea of my girlfriend coming over in the summer. She is discussing it with dad at the weekend.

Thank you
@Nyktos: the spamfest has been over for almost a day now. And UE got the spamfilters actually working; I formatted the regex wrong when I first did it.
Anyhow, we're just solving an online non-competitive puzzlehunt right now, the Puzzle Boat. And we might do some competitive (read: time-limited) hunts a few times during the year, aside from Mystery Hunt.
@Tools: Good to hear that at least your mom is accepting.
The reason why communism is awesome.
