Ok...I've reenabled post-by-mail via a separate account. Let's see if this works.

Spent most of today in meetings refining our product plan, will type up the requirements this weekend. Dinner tonight is at Chin Chin. Suspect we'll cab home. This weekend has some running (well, walking in my case) in the NYRRC race, followed by the monthly viewing of LOTR.

Argh. So, while I got email posting working again, i got tripped up by Norton Antivirus. See, I'd installed NAV2001 on my laptop in September. Some time in December it got hosed and I removed it. When I went to reinstall, all I could find was the trialware NAV2002, so I installed that instead. Trialware is designed to be annoying so that you license it. NAV2002 is nice because it inserts itself transparently into the protocol stack (well, that's what it looks like to me), so email, web, etc get filtered automatically without specifically configuring each application. Even "Radio Userland" got filtered. So, when I arrived home, there were a zillion dialog boxes from NAV's license manager (something called vBox) complaining that it could not find a valid license. Radio, in turn, had an error up that each time it tried to connect to the POP server it received an error. Given that it does this every minute, I was glad to see only one error dialog. Net: now I'm trying to install the license for NAV2002, however it doesn't appear you can just buy the license, you have to re-download the entire 22Mb package.

Oh, and while I'm at it. This is the first opening night of the Olympic Games in six years I've had free to actually enjoy and watch the ceremonies. I've celebrated this freedom by completing ignoring the opening ceremonies.
