Odd behaviour of BlackBerry Pearl 8130

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

So recently I had a minor issue with my BlackBerry Pearl 8130 on the VZW network where the BlackBerry device refused to clear out the missed call indicator.  I’d checked around here and there, most users of the BlackBerry stating that they’d saved a phone call some how and that they’d been able to find the phone call record and “unsave” it and thereby clear it out.

As for me, no, it required downloading the BlackBerry Desktop Software and actually clearing the log - on the flip side, the BlackBerry is now running a lot more cleanly.

Lesson learned - go and clear out logs on a more regular basis to increase the speed of the BlackBerry.

Oracle of Bacon…

imageSo for those of you that have heard of the a Bacon Number then you’re familiar with web sites such as theKevinBaconGame.com, but something else that came across the radar for me at least was the “Oracle of Bacon” hosted surprisingly on a server at my alma mater (the University of Virginia).  So my question to you of course, what’s your Bacon number?  Mine apparently is 6…  Go ahead, take a chance :)
