Cat genie tech codes

I have one pet left, a cute little cat. I still have the cat genie from a couple years ago... wow. When it works its awesome. when its breaks, its a pain in the ass. Pet Innovations support is great, except for the fact when you ask things like "how do i tell it to dry" or "how do i tell it to just drain." They refuse to give up their little tech codes, like its national security. So I've decided to post what I have so far.... If you know any more, feel free to drop me a line and I'll update:

1) Unplug
2) Press and hold both buttons and plug in at the same time. Keep holding for 10-15secs after power is restores
3) The lights will cycle from 4 lights to 1
4) Press and release the auto-setup until lights 4 and 1 are on (this should require 4 presses)
5) Press start to start the cycle


Codes I have so far:
4-1: Drain (you must toggle it off when done)
4-2: Air on -no bowl spin (you must toggle it off when done)
4-3: Rinse-Drain-Air/Dry Cycle (unit will reset to normal after this)

There are a couple more like "Run water" and "Dispense solution" But I cant remember them offhand.

Postal increase

Heres a nice link to show the price hike: Endicia Rate Change Information. Most notable: Priority Mail 1lb (oversized, >600 miles) 422% to 711%. I guess they wanna give that business to UPS.

Blackberry outages

Got cingular? call them up, say "i want the service credit for mt blackberry outtage." My rep had no idea what I was saying so I followed up with "It was on a company memo last week." After waiting on hold for 5 mins, she came back w/ a $30 credit. I wont complain, April 18th hasnt been my only outage. heres the link where I found the memo:

http://consumerist.com/consumer/blackberry/cingulars-blackberry-users-can-request-credit-for-service-outage-254274.php

So while on the phone, I asked about the outage I had on sunday morning, 8am-12:30pm. She searched like 5 diff databases and nothing. She asked me if I was having a problem now, to which I answered "No, I'm fine now, and I know you want me to call in when the problems occur so you can diagnose, but this happens on the weekends or after hours, so i'd like a way to report it, so you know whats going on and to get it fixed. I dont need tech support, I know it was the network." So I'm on hold another 10 mins, and she comes back and says to call after hours and get ahold of the after hour support. what after hour support, is there some special keycode? WTF? Anyways, I told her i will be logging each outtage and calling in the next business day until this gets resolved. Then she tells me that there is an issue w/ BB and edge. all other pda's are fine, its something w/ BB. I dont buy it.

iGo power tip

As you may know from reading my blog, my wife and I got new phones. Stunningly enough, both use the same power adapters.... so it seems. The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 and MotorolaRAZR V3xx both have miniUSB connectors, both came with computer USB cables for data/charging. both came with wall outlets. (I boght an iGo juice70 a couple years ago while out of town, so I tend to keep the proper tips around now.) So its safe to assume you should be able to find one iGo tip for both phones at this point.
