This is what i get for not checking my TBCS mail...

My apologies to anyone who tried to reach me at that address. I'll skim it for important stuff but i think this one's going to be a 'mark all as read' situation.

This means that you can get a hold of me again at this address. I've just finished setting up 'Windows Mail' to make life easier on myself by getting all my e-mail addresses into the same place.

Ah, where would we be without POP3. The project i did this year at Uni was under the supervision of one of the guys who wrote POP3. Let me tell you this guy is bleeding anal about standards and documents. When a guy like him writes software, you know it's going to work well and be around for a long time.

MY gmail has 5063 spam messages no joke. How do I take a screen.

How in hell did you get 5k spam messages with Gmail? I've gotten like 2 total in the entire history of having it, lol.

To take a screenshot you just hit the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard, and then paste it into a program like MSPaint, but I'd recommend something better.

Silly humans! I used to get over 1600 messages a day! None of it spam.

~70% Normal system messages (backup completion, file rotation, build notices...)...Thanks Larry for perl...
~20% meeting related (ok maybe half that was spam...)
~10% Emergency related system messages (mail que problems, backup issues, user issues, etc) Thanks Randal, for teaching me perl...

There were 2 of us at any one time covering the que.

Ignore the left side -- that's just me working on a SketchUp model of my team's robot chassis for this year (and yes, I will post the model up here in case any of you want it). GMail's on the right.
