You gotta love it..

Someone, who shall remain nameless but who is related to me, (although not in my immediate family) forwarded me one of those chain letter email thingies. Not a big deal, she’s been known to do this from time to time, but in this case, she didn’t take out any of the previous forwarding information. This email gave me names and email addresses of at least 50 people who I don’t even know. If I was a little less scrupulous I might have been tempted to use those addresses, say to promote my site, or the Amazon links, or something worse…

Alas, I’m not that mean, but it’s something we all need to remember about forwarding email messages. Take out all that contact information!

  • When plug-ins don’t work

    There just something completely frustrating about discovering that an Acrobat Reader plug-in is causing random problems with various PC’s around the office. Especially when your PC is one of the one’s having a problem. In my case, certain behaviors in Reader, like clicking a link to another PDF on-line, caused the program to crash. Others…

  • Email

    Not sure if it’s related to the blaster worm or not, but email to this domain is not being delivered right now, and hasn’t been since at least sometime this afternoon. I don’t know if it’ll bounce eventually or get to me eventually, but if you’re awaiting a response from me, don’t hold your breath….
