Duke Street AlleyDuke Street Alley - LiveJournal.comMachine Down- February 28, 2008 Brief Note: My home desktop machine has manifested a mysterious malfunction, which involves it not booting (or, indeed, looping through a partial boot over and over again). The hard disk seems to be ok - olethros was able to look at files on it when he booted from a Linux CD - so I'll be able to retrieve data, and I can get online from the laptop, but I won't be on WoW or EVE for a few days until we work out what needs to be done to get the desktop running again.

I tried during the week to sit down and do some work on my various websites, and really couldn't hold it together. Again today, I got in a few necessary updates, and then found myself reading back over a gardening blog instead. Earlier in the week, I thought it was because I was trying to work on the...http://gothwalk.livejournal.com/533289.html Unsubscription Standard- February 6, 2008 Originally published at Now Is A Long Time Too. You can comment here or there.Something I fervently wish existed is a standard &8220;unsubscribe&8221; method for mailing lists - both discussion and broadcast. Something that an email client could hook into, in order to display a great big &8220;unsubscribe&8221; button in the interface. I&8217;ve been cleaning up a few mailboxes during the early part of the new year, and looking at email tactics for our own marketing efforts.
