Oh happy day! In a random search I came up with this page and then this one, which tell how to get the Thunderbird E-Mail client to poll all folders for new mail, not just the current. This was my one hang up about using it full time as an email client instead of mutt […]

Funky, I’m now wireless, at least for the weekend. $othercoder lent me his access point to go along with the Airport card for my Powerbook for the weekend. I’m on the couch, no wires, nothing, surfing and updating. Very cool, though two rooms away I’m only getting 2/5 bars. Handy as well since the long
Saw that Scoble had put up a link to his brother’s experience with Microsoft support. I had an experience a while back that I never wrote about, and I figure now is as good a time as any. This happened around the time that Microsoft was changing over their Instant Messaging protocol to cut out

Well, other than reversing the LAN and WAN ports of my firewall card, the transition went smoothly. The new system is up and going and waiting for a kernel recompile and reboot (sometime in the morning when I wake up I guess). The board I got was the Asus A7V600-X, SATA, 8 USB2 ports (in
In theory all my hardware should return to me. New motherboard for naked (this box) and my video card back. In theory. I have no illusions that they can still screw it up and leave me out in the cold for another week. I also got to borrow an airport card, at least temporarily. $othercoders
Yesterday’s gym session was a bit different than normal. Lately I’ve been getting a bit bummed out about my lack of progress so I decided to get their baseline evaluation so I’d have something to work from. I know the state of fitness I’m in, so their little report wasn’t any huge surprise, but it

Took today off to deal with the car and other such things. It’s amazing how damn productive you can be if you don’t have to go to work! It was a cash-hemorrhaging day though. First the car to Chilliwack, where I found that the master and slave clutch cylinder are leaking. They will give me
A few days ago a computer showed up in the front hall. Firefly had brought it home from her brothers ex (who lives in her parents basement… long story), who had begged her to bring it to me to clean off a virus. I of course, let it sit there. Last night I decided I

I’m now in the recently-completed downstairs area at work for a bit while the upstairs is finished off. Each time I go upstairs I pass by a girl at her desk with a nature themed calendar with March’s animal being a great Canadian symbol. For some reason right now it’s very hard for me not
