Aaron Antrim replied on June 28, 2009 22:57 to the question "Driver did not stop!" in Humboldt Transit Authority:
Sorry you had a bad experience. I don't think it's fair to say most bus drivers are "angry." In my experience most bus drivers, particularly with Humboldt transit agencies, are impressively friendly and helpful.
This sounds like an exception.
Could you tell if the 4:56p bus was full to capacity?-

Great. I'd be interested in the results of your testing, so please do post to GetSatisfaction. I'd still like to use Skype with a bluetooth headset. -

I think this is also happening with other apps, but I am not sure. iChat doesn't have a "Test call" feature so I can test this very well.
Also, an update to this. I think I am actually using the original Jawbone, not the Jawbone II. -
Aaron Antrim replied on March 15, 2009 05:13 to the question "Why can't I buy a new MacBook Pro with a matte (non-glossy) display?" in Apple:
Thanks for the heads up on the Power Support "Anti Glare Film for 15-in. MacBook Pro." I may purchase that, but I am a little scared of the purportedly difficult install process.
I learned that TechRestore offers a $199 matte screen replacement option for the MBP.

Would this violate the existing warranty on my MacBook? What about the 3-year AppleCare warranty I purchased? -
Aaron Antrim asked a question in Skype on February 28, 2009 22:41:
Has anyone been able to use the Jawbone 2 with Skype for Mac? Or know why I can't?I am running the latest version of Skype (2.7.0.330) and Mac OS 10.5.6, the Jawbone 2, and a 2 month old MacBook Pro.
I am experiencing an issue where the Jawbone headset randomly cuts out or produces static for folks on the other end or the line.
The Jawbone seems to work fine with my mobile phone.
Any definitive answer on what the problem is? I am suspecting an issue between the implementation of Bluetooth on my Mac and the headset. -

Aaron Antrim replied on February 23, 2009 17:08 to the question "How long does it take for my online number to become active?" in Skype:
Looking at this further, I am finding that the number is reserved, but I have not paid yet. I have the option of paying for the subscription to the online number service. I have to drill-down through about 3 pages to get there, and thought I remembered going through a process to purchase the new service, so that's why I was confused.
I would suggest to make the action associated with hyperlinks on these account pages clearer, and to reduce the depth of pages the user must go through to complete actions. -
Aaron Antrim asked a question in Apple on February 22, 2009 20:02:
Can an IMAP email account be configured so new items don't show in Mac OS Mail Inbox?Hi,
I would like for my assistant to be able to access my IMAP mail account and vice versa. It will be useful to see complete correspondence history for clients and jobs.
However, I only want to see his email when I choose to, or when I run a search. I do not want all his new mail to show in my inbox, and neither does he need all my new mail to show in his inbox.
Is there a way I can add an IMAP account so that it's available as an account, but where new mail doesn't show in the inbox?
Thanks! -

How long does it take for my online number to become active?Hi, I signed up for an online number.
When I go to "setup online number" in my control panel, I see the number I signed up for under reserved numbers, like this:
Number Location Reserved for Status
(503) 616-4480 United States, (503) | Beaverton 15 days Processing
It's been this way for several days (been counting down from 19 days. Will it be another 2 weeks before my number becomes available? -
Aaron Antrim replied on February 13, 2009 18:35 to the question "Bus question?" in Humboldt Transit Authority:
Hi Sylvie:
There are many different itineraries available, depending on the day and time you want to travel.
Fortunately, Google Transit can help you figure them out.
This link will show you the next available departures:
http://tinyurl.com/b7fdcz
Click through the three itineraries listed under "Suggested trips with upcoming departures" to compare all the options.
If you want to try planning other trips, you can go to www.google.com/transit and enter in your starting and ending location. Remember to include the cities in these locations (ie: 720 Wood Street, Eureka CA and Valley East, Arcata).
You can also access the trip planner from Humboldt County's transit websites, linked from www.hta.org.
Did this help? -
Aaron Antrim shared an idea in Umpqua Bank on February 11, 2009 20:54:
Umpqua customers live and work in SE Portland, tooI live in Southeast Portland, near SE Morrison & 30th. I've noticed that the SE quadrant seems to be the only quadrant in which Umpqua does not have a location in Portland. Do you have any plans to open a location in this area? I think it would be appreciated by many of your customers. -
Aaron Antrim gave praise in Newsberry on January 16, 2009 20:29:
I received great support for how to exclude people I've already mailed to from a new mailing. Thx!Hi,
I just wanted to say that I am a new Newsberry customer, and I had a great customer support experience off of GetSatisfaction, but I wanted to post the response here to share it with others that may find it useful.
Basically, I had a list of about 40 people I wanted to exclude from a new email campaign. But when I entered these addresses as criteria in the sub-list feature, that overwhelmed newsberry.
Support came back with a great suggestion for how to do this easier and more powerfully.
Here it is.
[begin]
Hi Aaron
Its Andrey. I'm in charge of technical support.
I'm sorry for inconvenience. It's seems to me, that the query, that you passed when edited sublist was longer then we support. Our sublists functionality is complex and, unfortunately, its very difficult to make it longer.
Don't worry, the system is pretty flexible and allow you to
specify up to, approximately, about 20 rules to the sublist selection criteria. The problem is in length of the rules. They can't be so long.
Now, let's discuss of whether our system allows you to do what you want. Yes, it does! But in another way. It a bit longer, but, as for me, much more powerful.
If you need to include or exclude a big number of subscribers its better to mark the subscribers with the flag that storing in a custom field and then use it in a search criteria of sublist.
Here is the plan:
1. Open an import page on the same list "MasterList" and put the list of subscribers you want to exclude
2. Put a flag, for instance a digit "1" after each subscriber separated by a coma. That flag will be used to exclude those subscribers from sublist.
I've just created the file for you that was attached to the email. You can use it.
3. Make an import those subscribers. On the step where the system is asking you to select source of columns, set the name for a new column where you put "1" flag. For instance "SendExcludeFlag".
Don't worry, the system will not create duplicates if your import contains the subscribers that already exist in the list. Those subscribers will not be neither duplicated or missed. Instead, they will be updated. And each of subscribers, that you specified in the list, will have that new "SendExcludeFlag" custom field.
4. Open the list and edit the same sublist that you previously edited - "Oregon".
When you will specify the rules, instead of using Email field with the list of your subscribers (as you did previously), use "SendExcludeFlag" "Does not contain" "1"
I had to delete that rule where you pass those emails because of system requirements, but the file that i gave you contains all emails from that criteria
After that you can send your campaign with using the sublist you just created and make sure that marked subscribers was excluded.
I hope my explanation will help you.
Can you tell me why you were not able to import all subscribers for the first time? Was it because of the system error or something related to our system?
I really need to know, what should be improved to make the system more flexible and friendly.
Thanks! -
Aaron Antrim asked a question in Apple on January 03, 2009 22:38:
Why can't I buy a new MacBook Pro with a matte (non-glossy) display?There are a lot of things I like about my new MacBook Pro (unibody, with glossy display), which just replaced my old MacBook Pro.
One of the things I really don't like is the glossy display. I see all the lights in my office reflected in my display. In fact, I had ordered an LED Cinema Display, too, and I sent it back because I realized its glossy display would pose similar problems?
Why is Apple offering only glossy displays now on many of their products? Matte displays are much easier on my eyes. I realize they don't offer the same contrast or dark blacks, but really, I still strongly prefer the matte displays. -

Aaron Antrim replied on December 27, 2008 22:16 to the question "how does highrise integration work?" in Newsberry:
What happens when a synced Highrise contact chooses to unsubscribe? Will Newsbury remember this, and make sure they aren't re-added when I do the next Highrise sync?
I am so happy to see you are using GetSatisfaction. I am even more likely to become a Newsbury customer now. -
Aaron Antrim replied on November 20, 2008 19:19 to the idea "Flag Stops - get them known and used through Google Transit" in Humboldt Transit Authority:
Well, I think at this point there are strong reasons to choose not to put unofficial or even semi-official unsigned flag stops out there in the passenger-facing information. HTA/RTS feels the risk of confusing passengers unfamiliar with riding the bus or committing to serve and pick up at unsigned stops are too great. It's interesting to compare how various bus systems deal with this issue. Some are super-strict — only signed stops; others will seem to stop anywhere. -
A comment on the idea "Flag Stops - get them known and used through Google Transit" in Humboldt Transit Authority:
Derek: I like the approach, except I think the toggle for showing non-timing points (flag stops, etc.) on the timetables may be overkill.
Tell me if I am wrong, but I am actually starting to feel that the Redwood Transit System website is actually starting to have a bit too many ways of seeing schedules. HTA and I have invested time in experimenting on different approaches, which is good, but now I feel its time to identify what works and stick to that, and actually prune down options.
Here's what I am thinking: an interactive map that shows all possible stop points, and then a timetable that actually shows less timing points than it does now (for example, just a few of the timing points on 4th and 5th in Eureka would be shown). By looking at the map, people could see all possible stop locations and infer the stop times from the more streamlined timetable. That'll be more like TriMet and many other agencies. We'll see. In the meantime, your feedback is always appreciated. – Aaron Antrim, on November 16, 2008 22:28
