A very good day. Outgoing mail from theStarport.org is working again!! (It only took a year...) When I picked up coffee I bought three Snake and Butterfly Thai truffles by way of celebration. Yum.

I got in a short but brisk walk at Santana Row, catching the last day of their annual Elfa sale and picking up a box of 7" brackets. I'm grumpy that the 5" ones apparently aren't being made anymore.

I did a lot of puttering, and ended the day watching the Olympics with Colleen (and Naomi on IM, which added a whole different dimension to it). For all that I say I loathe sports, I'm enjoying a lot of what I'm seeing, especially the pair skating. I'm going to have to be more specific about my loathing now, I suppose.

A couple of good links, especially if you find yourself trying to configure Debian to send email via Dreamhost or some other hosting service that requires authentication.

I'd also like to draw your attention to Hogs, Don Marti's allegory about who the real customer is for free web services (hint -- hogs aren't customers, they're ingredients). And haikujaguar's Many Roles, Part 2: Products, about what it takes to make money as an artist or writer. Go read Part 1: Introduction while you're at it; I seem to have neglected to link to it.

S&B Truffles

Glad you liked the chocolates. Did you pick them up at Barefoot Coffee Roasters or another location?
