2009-07-24 update: it works again
I wanted to report an issue with zsh, but I can’t.
The problem is that they’ve got harsh blocking rules which prevent emails from any @gmail.com account. I went through a lot of trouble to research other email accounts and to sign up for one only to learn that @gmx.com email addresses are also blocked. An old @myrealbox.com account is also blocked.

Seriously people, figure it out and make it work.

Well, I got schooled with all kinds of bootloader and install issues I was having with Unity Linux 0.99-alpha2.
Boy did I get into trouble. I took three pages of notes before I finally managed to scrap 0.99-alpha2 and get 0.99-alpha1 working again.
It’s mostly a problem of my lack of understanding too. I’ll need to take another pass at the whole affair after reading some advice I got. I know how I’ll do things differently next time.
I hope to get into it later this week, although docs are a higher priority at this point since I’ve left things on auto-pilot for a while.. i.e. nobody was doing anything.

I can’t actually use the YouTube messaging system. Firefox is completely useless.
Whatever has been done with Firefox over the last many years has only made it progressively more inconsistent.
Sometimes it runs really well, and other times it’s REALLY bad.

I always find it curious there is a website owned by a browser manufacturer which happens to not work with another browser (like with the GMail contacts list).
When using the YouTube quick list, and autoplaying through it, scrolling up to see previous items in the right-hand mini quicklist doesn’t generally work. Scrolling all the way down through 100 videos is a terrible idea, and Firefox’s classic 100% CPU issue comes back.
I went way out of my way to comb through all of the settings of msec to make sure things are to my liking. However, my preferences have been overwritten by a default for the second time!
This really pisses me off to no end. The one thing whose configuration is amazingly important to not screw up.. gets screwed up.
I strongly suspect this was done by PCLinuxOS updating.
I went through hell getting things working with my new VoIP.
It wasn’t them, it was Linux and my system which were to blame.

Twitter >
On an old and soon to be spam-ridden account, I received a spam from a Twitter “user” (advertiser). They invited me by email using a standard Twitter feature.
Within that email, Twitter provides an opt-out link. But that opt-out link doesn’t actually work.

I had very old .eml email archives laying about and wanted to convert them into an open standard format so they could live alongside my current email.
