I knew it was going too well

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

See, I got that PC setup yesterday, and it didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would, this particular PC didn’t have nearly as many “extras” to uninstall. The guy doesn’t start until Monday, I knew plenty in advance, enough so that I had time to order and setup the PC, and enough in advance that I could get our ISP to include his account when they were setting up Postini for us. Being that far ahead of the game has to be some sort of record for this place.

It was going amazingly well, right up to where I entered his email information in Outlook. Then, it wasn’t going so well. So now I’m doing the rounds with their helpdesk, and their email admins, waiting for them to tell me why the password they sent me is being rejected by the server. Here’s hoping we have an actual, working email account before Monday.

    Linked – Why Aren’t You Using Email Threading on Every Case?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Imagine if Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo were incapable of grouping email conversations together. Without conversation grouping, or email threading, you might be able to sort by subject, but the software would not understand that “RE:” and “FW:” should be disregarded. The forwards would be in one group, the replies would all follow, and the original…

    This is mostly a note to myself, and anyone else who finds themselves in a similar predicament in the future. I downloaded my first ebook from the library since buying a new laptop this weekend.

    I installed Miranda IM the other day. I liked the fact that I could connect with Google Talk, which I can’t do with the free version of Trillian, but I wasn’t realy excited about the fact that there’s no voice features, which would be kinds nice to have with GoogleTalk. I also just didn’t like…

    An interesting article and discussion over at PocketPC Thoughts about all the places that don’t allow cameras, for various reasons, and what people who still want to be able to take their cell phones and/or PDA’s with them are going to be running in to. Personally I think there are going to be more and…
