EMail has been around for over 40 years
..yeah. Really. It's been around in some form in the 70s, more standardised in the 80s, and was decently embedded in education and business in the 90s. Heck, there was a movie that was about an EMail based romance in the 90s... yet.... people keep making same embarrassing mistakes with stuff like replies. Not sure why. I still see cases in professional environments where people reply to a group EMail, expecting to get to the sender when in most cases it'll just go to the group (or at best an (...)
Dual and half double are sadly not the same
I've been into multi screen for 20+ years. Obviously it started with computers but it extended to laptops (probably a rant in itself) and phones as well. First time I got one was a on-sale LG V50. A very clunky device that was almost exactly what I wanted. I could at last solve the old problem of referring to X while working on Y, as well as monitoring Y while doing X. Sadly after a few years of use the case hinge cracked in a very odd way and I lost the second screen. Case? Yeah. The V50 is (...)
The Sky was the limit
OneDrive... oh how I dislike how it's got. It used to be seen as a drive, like the name, now it's trying to masquerade as a one stop storage and backup stop. Which is a shame, as it's horrible as the latter, but generally useful as the former. I've been using it since it was SkyDrive, and I've got the "SkyDrive Photos" to prove it, so I've been riding this horse for a while.
I was one of the few who got into the Windows Phone thing. I got one of the Windows 7 phones, which I still (...)
New Year, old issue, same solution
My custom site and this site have the current year displayed. Mine is a php element that is used by most pages, this one.... dunno actully. Could be a setting... Need to look into that. Mine is a manual change I do (generally) in early Janurary. But I've often considered making the year auto-update. But there's so many reasons why I don't. For one, the date is based on the server time, which won't align to everyones time so it's going to be at least (...)
Beware the remote desktop password fail
Got my server mostly done now. But one issue has made things complicated; my inability to use Microsoft Remote Desktop on my default profile. To expand, I made my server from the innards of my older desktop to save money. This was the plan before the memory crisis, and by the time I did it, the plan made even more sense. Thus my default profile was active and had on it several years of usage. Stuff I lost unexpectantly when I turned my desktop into the server. It all came out of no where, (...)
Marketing EMails are not forever
'tis been a catch up time for me. On soooo many levels. Don't get me wrong though; not all of it's "work". I'm behind on my gaming too; I was out of the country during the Death Stranding 2 release so that's a high priority too! (Should finish the main story this weekend.) But one of the many things I'm behind on is my "marketing" mail. I tend to send it all to a dedicated box so it doesn't clutter my more important messages, and I tend to give it a quick look, but often miss things if I get (...)
