Mailing List Blues

The Conference mailing list server is down again. I’ve been monitoring disk utilization on the list server for awhile now in an attempt to keep the server up until after the building move. Once I realized that we were going to run out of space again I decided to take the server down preemptively. We [...]

Now That’s an Old E-mail (For Me Anyway)!

After writing my earlier post on the demise of Geocities I spent a few minutes poking around Google to try to find some of my old stuff.  I stumbled across this long lost e-mail!  Back in college I tried to start an online newsletter for aspiring writers.  The newsletter didn’t make it long term so [...]
