[10:50] <cmaloney> morning
[10:50] <cmaloney> wb rick_h_
[10:50] <rick_h_> morning and ty
[10:51] <cmaloney> how was the excursion / tour?
[10:52] <rick_h_> it was good, naigara falls is pretty cool and there's a lot of fun stuff to do there
[10:53] <cmaloney> nice
[10:53] <rick_h_> and the annual family visit down to VA is nice. That's a good area with lots to get out and check out
[10:53] <rick_h_> now I'm just in major pain heh. deck was finishes while I was away so back from the trip lots of deck staining and prep and now have a deck again
[10:59] <cmaloney> woo woo!
[11:02] <rick_h_> did I miss anything exciting while I was away?
[11:16] <cmaloney> not much
[11:16] <cmaloney> Arts Beats and Eats meant that the Bean and Leaf closed early (8:30pm)
[11:16] <cmaloney> so we moved over to Atomic, which was decent
[11:16] <cmaloney> But that was the highlight
[12:05] <jrwren>  First bad thing about ting. No visual voicemail on GSM. Still worth it to
[12:05] <jrwren> save 40-50/mo
[13:06] <cmaloney> Visual Voicemail = ?
[13:06] <cmaloney> Oh, I use Google Voice for my voicemail so I never noticed.
[13:10] <jrwren> iphones have this voicemail tab and rather than dial a number to hear your voicemail, each voicemails shows in a UI in a list. It is a great feature. Has been there since day 1 w/ATT
[13:10] <cmaloney> right
[15:31] <greg-g> g'morn
[15:31] <cmaloney> g'morn and all that
[15:32] <greg-g> jrwren: I *think* that's an option if you use cdma/sprint towers
[15:41] <cmaloney> Yeah, they had something like that (which I never used)
[15:41] <cmaloney> iirc it was a pay service though
[15:42] <cmaloney> https://help.ting.com/hc/en-us/articles/205422008-Voicemail
[15:51] <jrwren> greg-g: yeah, that is what the help docs said, but I went GSM for other reasons.
[15:51] <cmaloney> Mostly because GSM works
[15:51] <cmaloney> CDMA isn't great in this area
[15:52] <cmaloney> Not sure if new phone or what but I'm more happy with this phone than my previous one
[15:58] <greg-g> cdma is surprisingly good out here, all things told
[15:58] <greg-g> that's the only thing I'm still not sure on, though, is cdma vs gsm for my replacement phone
[15:58] <greg-g> haven't had time to really think/look at the maps in more detail
[15:58] <cmaloney> greg-g: International Travel
[15:59] <greg-g> yeah, meh
[15:59] <cmaloney> GSM is the only option there
[15:59] <greg-g> I've been fine without a real phone when traveling int, mostly because I don't stray far from a group :)
[15:59] <jrwren> phones do both now, so for international, you just buy a sim when you get there, right?
[16:00] <greg-g> that part was unclear to me when reading the docs on ting
