My primary e-mail (marissalingen.com, not gmail) is receiving but not allowing me to send. In fact, it appears to be eating the things I have attempted to send, including one longish epistle. This is not the most pleasing event ever, though of course I am quite capable of coming up with ways it could be worse without breaking a sweat. The resident networking systems expert and I have scowled at it and determined that any of a number of things could be wrong with it, none of which are fixable on our end. Bah. Bah, I say! Also possibly harumph.

Bah, indeed.

I sometimes have problems with outgoing email -- usually when I'm away from home on some wireless network. At times like this, the shell account is a godsend. And if worst comes to worst, copy and paste into my gmail account and send the message from there.

I had a problem with incoming email New Years Day, but my ISP fixed it shortly after I realized it existed and emailed him about it.

I hope yours gets fixed soonest.

I add a "feh" and a "grrrrr."

I lend you my Pointy Stick of ISP Poking.

Actually I haven't needed it much lately since my ISP's response to this sort of thing is, "you know where your admin console and your shell account is, go fix it." I suppose I could poke myself with the pointy stick in those situations but that seems counter-productive.

Hmmm; might be useful to be able to poke myself sometimes. I'm sure I have some kind of pokey stick around here somewhere; or if not I could just break email and then grab quickly when somebody like my wife pokes the stick at me....

Also, I owe you email, but it's unlikely to happen today.

Well, I have reply capability back for whenever time presents itself, but I'm not feeling woefully neglected by my friends in this regard.
