Email is broke?

Whew, missed this last week, as I was out, but it seems people think that email is broken, or at least email is somehow having some sort of problem. I wouldn’t really know it if it wasn’t for the hype from everyone else. I’ve had no problem getting my mail. I don’t have a huge increase in spam. I seem to be getting my mail fine, and sending it fine. What’s the problem?

Yeah, I know, I don’t use Windows, and if I did, I’d be using Mozilla products rather than IE and Outlook anyway, but I think the real trick is, I don’t really know people who use those things. Ok, I know people, but obviously I’m not their friend. By that I mean, I don’t seem to be in their Outlook address book, or in their IE cache, or whatever is required by the latest MS flaw-ware that allows Windows to go nuts like a disgruntled postal worker on speed.

I remember a few years back when there was some virus that emailed everyone in your Outlook address book, and at work everyone was getting it except me, due to the fact that either I’m a loser with no friends, or my friends use good software.

Happy Birthday Blogger…

Happy Birthday Blogger. For those of you who might think Blogger started weblogging (or blogging) it’s their 4th birthday. This site is now over 6 years old, and I’m not even considered one of the ‘earlier starters’ by many. I was looking at sites like Scripting News or CamWorld as inspiration back in 1997, cuz there wasn’t much around at that time… Oh how times have changed…

MT Kool-Aid

For those of you who have drunken the MT Kool-Aid, read this entry at SixLog (well, skip the NetNewsWire part) and you can rest assured for a bit longer. Those SixApart folks just always come across as nice, smart people…

Who knows? Maybe someday I’ll use their software…

Restrictive Diets

More of that Atkins stuff, from Duncan:

I was talking with Rael and he remarked that its interesting watching people on Atkins eat out as they have a more restrictive diet than even vegetarians.

Try existing on a diet of certified organic foods. You won’t eat out very much. Well, if you do, you might only get a choice of one, or possibly two, restarants. If you’re willing to drive. Far.

Ahhh, someday perhaps we’ll all be able to easily and affordably get to eat the foods we want…
