Napier:
The saga continues. I hear it’s harder to move stuff from the old phone to the new one if there’s lots on it, and I haven’t cleared out unwanted photos for a while, so I deleted a whole bunch from Camera Roll and from Photostream. But the Photo app was still using 6.5 GB so I searched online and learned there’s a new Recently Deleted album and deleting just moves them there without deleting them, so I went in there and deleted them there too. Still 6.5. So more online searching and I read that maybe I need to sync with iCloud or maybe I need to reset the phone, so I reset, then sync, then reset again. Still 6.5.
I gave a presentation to seventy people on Friday, talking about a computer program I had written. It was quite clever and made good use of reflective metaprogramming as well as several statistical regression methods and an iterative optimization. But I can’t delete photos off my phone.
The part of me sitting on my shoulder keeps asking “how did that feel” and “ok, how did THAT feel”.
Well, there’s big difference between writing good software and using software that was written by someone else…
My dad is an expert in computer simulations - he wrote software in the 70’s and 80’s that is still used by the government today.
I have to help him keep his PC running…

Go to Settings > Messages. Is “iMessage” on or off? It sounds like it’s off. But if it is on, turn it off, then back on and see if that worked.

I think you got it. It was off and had a message under it saying “Activation failed”, but I turned it on and now when I send stuff to other iPhones it is blue in my display. I haven’t heard back whether the recipient sees it as blue, but it seems to me like you probably fixed me. Thanks!
