FYI. Tape some foil to a piece of cardboard (or just use some metal if you have it) and hold that up in front of the phone. Wave it around until the signal drops / disappears and take a bearing.
Repeat this from several directions, then plot the bearing intersections.
Failing that, any ham who enjoys RDF would be happy to help, provided they have gear that can listen in on that high of a frequency. Chances are the ones that can are the ones you want helping you anyway:)

At home, I have an old razr diamondback for my right hand. At work, I have a kensington expert mouse on my left.
Seems to do a decent job of it, but I've been finding the low profile razr bothering me lately. I want to rotate my hand 90-degrees, like shaking hands. Which sucks, because I had gotten the razr because it seemed to be (at the time) the only mouse with a shape that didn't cramp up my hand.
On an unrelated note I was banned from school computters in grade 6 thru 8 (highscool starts in gr 9 here) for "hacking".
Sounds like a fun story. Care to share the details?
I never had any problems like that - but I'm sure a good part of that was, being a rural school, the 4 staff who knew anything about computers thought well of me.
I'll take a stab at it and mention... it sounds like you did not learn traditional typing (home row and all that). I do the same thing you do, and I find I can adapt quickly to impairment of any of my fingers without any thought. Those that I know who learned "proper" typing seem to have a harder time with that.
I should mention that typing doesn't really bother my hands at all, though I do get some forearm fatigue after an extended period of typing. What really bothers my hand(s) are mice. I switch hands, but I still end up with fatigue/aches when using the damn things.
(watching myself, I actually noticed that if I stop using my index finger, the "assignments" move over a finger. Meaning my middle finger takes over, and the ring finger picks up the slack).
I almost never use my ring or pinky while typing, on either side.
Just type so that it feels natural to you. Nothing forces you to use any specific fingers.
Because I learned to type in such a "natural" form, instead of learning home rows and specific zones for each finger, I find I can easily adapt to different typing positions and injuries. Eg, if my index finger on either hand had a cut on it, it only takes a few minutes for me to adjust and type at a near full speed without that finger.
While I'm not the -fastest- typer around, I still type pretty damn fast and with little fatigue.

Timothy, what the fuck are you doing?
I'm not republican, and I'm fucking offended that you called me one.

If anything it makes it worse - now you can't tell what traffic is yours and what is his.
You deserve modpoints. Many many modpoints.

Again what?
How many cars these days have carburetors? Hint: if it has fuel injection, it doesn't.
Then maybe they could fix the fucking problem that causes such events, instead of trying to snuff out a symptom?
Naah, that would require actual and unpopular work.
Same thing, different method.
Only if you can shove Jython in there somehow...
Fair point, but would it really be that hard for them to have asked?
... because the engineering department would have brought up such a potential issue, before the CEO made himself and his company look like a bunch of fools?
Fine. Carburetor.
Hotbot says EXTERMINATE
Of course, it was remarkably easy to make an unfortunate typo whilst trying to land at hotbot.com...

If you can't see the clouds, try for the crowds.
This is much more likely than the lead theory
What makes you say that? I note you yourself fail to back that statement up, instead trying to piggy-back it on a link that has nothing to do with it.
That's what I've been doing, currently.

I like this judge. Seems like sound reasoning to me all around, and the sentencing seems entirely fair.
Can we get this judge to come work in the US? Pretty please?

This is insanely cool...
Seriously.
