For those confused, here's what happened, as explained to Matt over AIM:
The JETS met for 10 hours at Hockaday this morning to work on stuff for the notebook. Because my laptop (the home of the notebook) has no floppy drive, we decided to send all the files to my home account, carbon-copied to my school address. When I got home, I found that my DSL was still down (meaning that I couldn't use Outlook on my laptop), my webmail was randomly down, and the attachment function wasn't working on the school server. In short, I had no way of accessing the work we had sent. Finally, I realized that my evil, ancient dinosaur of a computer still had Outlook, configured to the same settings I use now. I opened Outlook, which takes ages to receive all the emails sent to a particular address. Because Christine had sent me a bunch of huge files early on in the day (twice, I later learned), I had to "receive" all of her files before I could receive any of the documents my friends had written, which were the things I needed most. It took about 4 hours to receive the first set, then maybe three hours for the second. And now, everything is received and I can access everything. Hurrah. Still hard at work, and nearing completeness. Go me. Man, I'm proud of this baby. Priscilla said at 2:34 AM Comments: Post a Comment Title cartoon by Bruce Eric Kaplan, used without permission. |
