Megabus expands to Chattanooga and Atlanta from Knoxville
Woohoo! Can you say weekend jaunt to the aquarium!
The bus system, which started five years ago and books passengers using an online ticket-selling system, will begin making twice-daily trips from Knoxville to Chattanooga and Atlanta on Nov. 16. The company said customers can begin booking travel Tuesday at www.megabus.com.
My daughter has taken the Megabus to New York City. It’s cost effective and works great. I will definitely be planning a family weekend in Atlanta and Chattanooga soon.

While Cathy was away, the boys played!
Cathy went to visit Sarah in New York City. The grandparents basically had Amy and Evan for the entire trip and Noah for much of the trip. That left Tommy and me at the house alone. Tommy, like Freakzoid, gets sucked into the Internet so I basically had the house to myself for duration of her trip minus the time I spent for clients and the time I spent juggling at Boo at the Zoo. So what happened in that time? The yard had a major cleaning of the junk which had been accumulating for a decade. The house received a sweeping and mopping. Then there was this surprise for Cathy:
-
What happens when you leave a man home alone?
The wife and kids are away…so I run out of toilet paper!

Don’t touch fast spinning things
I wonder if the time lapse video will capture the moment I touched my finger to the shaft of the rotary tool. Bad thing to do just before going to juggle for 3 or 4 hours.

How to Fix iOS5 Restore Error 3200
UPDATE: Mashable and other sites are reporting that Apple’s servers are being overwhelmed and only about half the requests are getting through. The error is related to authentication and there is nothing we the users can do to fix it. Simply keep trying to get your update. As demand settles, the error will go away.
To anyone getting “An internal error occurred.” (3200) while installing iOS 5.0, Apple’s servers are swamped, and failing half the requests.
Word in the Ether is that you must update iTunes before updating your iPhone, iPod, or iPad to iOS5! If you are experiencing this error, I personally would try updating iTunes and try syncing again before doing any of these steps. I personally have not tried anything in this post.
xiphone.org has been hammered and is over its resource limit so I’m reprinting their instructions here.
- Install newest version of iTunes while do not connect your iPhone, iPod or iPad yet.
- Once installed, run new iTunes for a while then close it.
- Windows users simply go to folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates (replacing C: with the appropriate drive letter)
Mac users need to locate it. I don’t really sure where it is. - Cut and paste files there to somewhere else.
Do not delete them in case the steps does not work for you, you can still copy them back to the folder. You can find out your username by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. - Put your iPhone into DFU Mode (alternate link)
- Finally, proceed with iOS 5 restore procedure

To enter DFU mode:
DFU stands for Device Firmware Update. Unlike Recovery Mode, DFU Mode doesn’t load the firmware/OS currently installed before restore attempt. DFU mode will be considered as a last resort to restore if a restore using Recovery Mode doesn’t work and you are getting error while restoring you device.
- Open iTunes and connect the iPhone via USB.
- Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
- Continue holding the both buttons for exact 10 seconds. Then release the Sleep/Wake. Keep holding the Home button until iTunes pops up that it has found an iPhone in Recovery Mode.
It may take a few attempts to get your iPhone into DFU mode. Generally, I hold down both buttons then release the Wake/Sleep button just before I think the Apple logo would appear. If you are still holding both buttons down and you see the Apple logo you are holding them down for too long!
