Searching for What to Say
November 29, 2010 in Blogs
My brain is foggy, and I’m not sure I know why. It’s been a rough weekend, I guess. I finally have managed to get one computer mailbox working in the new e-mail client, which downloaded hundreds of backlogged letters; but it seems that the SMTP settings aren’t working right, because my efforts to reply have all been blocked. I have spent hours reading mail and writing replies, but the replies are stacking up in my box waiting to be sent (and I’m not quite sure where Pegasus hides these or why they aren’t being sent) and I’m sure there are people wondering why I’m not responding. I should probably post explanations to the social networking sites, so at least some people will get word of the problem.
Meanwhile, I uploaded the latest installment in the Examiner temporal anomalies series, Hot Tub Time Machine part 11: Lougle, or search me.
The weird thing is that some time this morning, when I was up at an unreasonable hour killing time between taking someone to work at eight and taking someone to work at ten, I knew that there was something I had to include in today’s post, and I even knew what the title of the post would be–and at this point I’m clueless as to what it might have been. Ah, well. As my father said to my mother before they were married, “you’ll think of something else”. I usually do.
Again let me thank John Walker for making our Thanksgiving dinner possible and delicious. He vanished without saying good bye to me, but then, I’m probably not the person he most comes to visit when he comes, and I’m good with that.

If it’s any consolation, only one of those hundreds is from me. Have you made a dent in it yet?

Well, sort of. I’m still trying to figure out the quirks of Pegasus. I started by installing the default MJYoung box, and got through everything there yesterday. Then today I tried adding the Referee box, figuring I’d clear that out, but for some reason it gave me a slew of stuff dating back into September that was never cleared from the server (even though I’d read it on the old client), and it also downloaded all the new stuff from the first box and shuffled it all together.
I probably need to create folder rules to get it to sort mail into separate folders, but I’m thinking maybe I’ll start by getting all the boxes up and running first.
