Partial Functionality.

[swestrup]

Right now I'm surfing and handling emails using webigail, our mail and web server (which is, I suppose, sort-of appropriate).

The screen is tiny though. I'm having to squint to see what I am doing. On the other hand, at some point in the past (judging from the looks of things, about 3 years ago), I put in the effort to copy all my bookmarks over to this system, so at least I can find many of the places I regularly surf to, and so on.

Its making me seriously consider taking sps up on his offer of grabbing his big old monitor, now that he's switched over to using flat panel technology.

IO have several monitors lying around, including one that's making it hard to close my dining room door. Also several old computers of Pentium I or II vintage. Maybe older? One might make an X-terminal.

Thanks, but I've already told sps that I'd be taking one (or more) of his large monitors off his hands. I'm trying not to gather more stuff than I have an immediate need for.

It interests me that you are reading mail. The evidence from my end is that the web site has eaten our ability to do the imap thing.

Hm, ok, it's just intermittent and sloooooow....

Let me know if you have the problem still. Mail seems to be working perfectly normally, as far as I can tell.

On a slightly unrelated subject.... I was wondering how does one ( ME! ) access the list of crap file I have on pooq. I know how to do it from home with theputty thing, but I am at work and Just need to check what I have there and maybe download one or two.

I thought it was azrhey;pooq;com but it says I have no access to that is there a /something after the .com ?

I am confused and this could totaly wait till I get home, but still...

Uh, the url of http://azrhey.pooq.com USED to work. Let me see...

Oh, it seems there's no website there anymore. It looks suspiciously like you took it away at some point. There are a bunch of files at http://azrhey.pooq.com/pix that you can still access, if that's what you were looking for.

That's how it always is, you put some tiny useless monitor on a machine because of course, nobody will ever be sitting down in front of it. Then, at some point, it becomes your main machine for a week. Not that that's ever happened to me. Repeatedly.

Also, chalk me up on the spare monitor list. Mine's not so terribly old (1999), and not so astonishingly big (though still 19", and it certainly weighs enough) but it works quite well. I run it at 1600x1200, though I seem to have a higher tolerance for squint-o-vision than most. I just think now's the time to reclaim a bit of desk space. Let me know if you have any interest.

I'll let you know. Everyone is upgrading to flat screen, so I've been getting tons of offers to take away folk's old boat anchors. I only need one or two, so I'm just going to accept the biggest/fanciest ones.
