Stuff that doesn’t quite fit anywhere else.
Remember a while back when I blogged about how I couldn’t figure out how to log into a T-Mobile HotSpot? Well, I just got a text message from T-Mobile that apparently went out to everyone with the Total Internet Plan, explaining how to do it. (Login: phone number, Password: last 4 digits of your SSN.)
Guess I wasn’t the only one confused.
Well, some of it, anyway, yesterday at the San Jose airport. I have T-Mobile for my phone, and the Total Internet Package. Only I couldn’t log in at the HotSpot at the airport, and none of the accessible website pages gave me an answer as to what my login should be. The one for my.t-mobile.com didn’t work.
Fortunately, today Google found the answer here, and I am going to reproduce it just so that anyone else stuck can learn it too.
She instantly shoots back the answer to the question I’ve been looking for almost 10 days for : Username is your 10 digit phone number, default password is the last 4 digits of your social security number. YES!!! That’s it. It works. So simple, I have to wonder why no one else in the company was able to understand my question, let alone answer it.
Here’s the latest from the mailbag…
So I’ve gotten a few reports that some pages on the site (like this one) are cut off at the bottom when viewed in IE 6 for Windows or Safari on the Mac — but not in Firefox on PC, Firefox on Mac, or IE 5 for Mac. (Haven’t tried Opera yet).
We have found that on some pages if you resize the screen wider it’ll “pull up” the stuff that was pushed off the bottom, but you can’t just scroll down to it using the scrollbar.
Problem is, we don’t see anything wrong. Validating the HTML and CSS comes up clean. We’re baffled. Any web folks out there who have a clue as to what’s up?
I missed doing a report last month — I don’t remember why. I hope that means you all pined for the monthly dose of goofy search terms!
It looks like the torrid growth of the site has slowed down somewhat. Phew, I was getting worried there for a bit. Here’s a bit of a graph showing how it’s going:
