Slow Saturday

  • At 3:12 this morning, something in Charlottesville exploded and woke me up. Being as it woke me up, it must have been seriously loud. Afterward I heard no sirens nor anything on the news this morning. Nor did I see any fireballs or smoke. Who knows?
  • The spam filters in Outlook are sucking big time. I don’t want to switch to something like Thunderbird due to my use of Plaxo.
  • What’s more, some spammer is using the grad student listserv as a sender. Unfortnately some of the spam is undeliverable, and I keep receiving “undeliverable mail” mail.
  • Gmail is also upsetting me as new messages aren’t downloaded to all my computers. However, I think I just fixed that. Perhaps I should forward all my mail to one account that is good a blocking spam. Suggestions?
  • Wait, why do I have so many damn email addresses anyway?
  • I’ll probably be upgrading some blog files today. I’m sure I’ll screw something up, so I apologize in advance.

The last 10 emails I received went directly to my inbox instead of the junkmail folder. Plus, over the last week, far too many real emails went to the junkmail folder. I would also like to bitch about the fact that when I empty the junkmail folder, it deposits the email in the deleted items folder. […]

I noticed you mentioned you didn’t want to move to Thunderbird because of your usage of Plaxo.
Thanks. We appreciate that. It might be worth mentioning that we released a beta version of
our Thunderbird client today. You can check it out at:
