Email Day


Being so tired after the long weekend effort I sat and read all the unanswered emails today.  
That was about my limit.
The emails have been lying there since Xmas some of them, I keep putting them off until an appropriate moment.  Most emails get answered reasonably quickly, spam gets dumped right away and there are always those that require thinking or a rational answer, those get left.
I make use of four email systems, though two now are one and the same thanks to Microsofts intention of killing of 'Live.co.uk.'  One I keep for museum work and another is old and ought to be dead but keeps working!  Then there is Googlemail the most useful as it gets your replies posted here, except for two of you with whom it refuses to work.  How strange but there we are, computer geeks are strange folks and their work reflects them.


So the morning was spent in waking up, scribbling replies to people afar off, deleting old mail, moving on to the next wondering what to say and scribbling nonsense, on and on.  So nice to get through all those and await the wonderful answers that will be received over the next month or two.  One concerned a sailor who died from appendicitis in 1917, then a very dangerous occurrence, and I discovered very intriguing information regarding him.  The sender was in Larbert and our man was stationed at Grangemouth which I did not know had the Royal Navy based there in the Great War, I thought it was just Rosyth.  The English government closed Rosyth in a vain attempt to get votes in Plymouth I suspect they closed Grangemouth earlier for similar reasons.  
Three were from the museum requesting my attendance to do things, most of which I avoided, and one at least I will attend, it's a get together for a laugh, I'll go there.


Too tired and weary and the day too grubby to make me leave my abode so old fotos will do to fill space.  I'm not fussy...

E-Mail Woes!




I'm having a wee bit of trouble with e-mail.  Some comments have been landing in the Spam folder for some reason.  It took me a moment to realise this.  This is unusual as normally comments go through straight away without bother.  Add to this one of my four e-mails, I use them for different purposes, often hangs for no reason, that is the Microsoft one, and the ISP email, where all the spam normally lands, is once again finding spam for me.  Now Yahoo is the e-mail I use for contact via my War Memorial websites, and the woman in charge, it had to be a woman, has changed the thing and upset the regulars.  The colour is OK with me but I am having great difficulties working the blasted thing.  One contact has been asking about a missing aircraft and when I attempt to reply I am finding it very difficult.  Three times he has answered and with each attempt to reply I am flustered more and more.  It was simple enough before, bah!

On the other hand where would we be without E-Mail?  It is the easiest way to keep in touch, useful for imparting knowledge, humour, and in my case rubbish!  It also saves time wasted in phone calls.  E-mails can be read and left to be dealt with later, phone calls cannot.  I suppose all the rich with their iPods and Tablets live their lives without e-mail as I know it these days.  This however does not appear to be my way forward, not at the price of those items!
