Must be Monday…

Getting started on a Monday morning can be fun… let’s see where the day takes us…

New work music to start the day off…

Will they listen ? I think I’ll add to the Steve Jobs chorus. He’s right.


Are Read Receipts evil ?

I use MS Outlook for work-related e-mail. Have done so for the last year since it became a “corporate standard” around here. Html is for web pages, not for e-mail. Luckily, with a little effort, I can use Outlook without resorting to using html in e-mail messages I send other people.

I can’t find a way to prevent html from working in e-mail and still use Outlook. Over the last year I’ve been able to tweak it so at least it’s ?mostly harmless”. But now, apparently, I’ve run across something I can’t control.

Read Receipts in Outlook don’t appear to have an on/off switch. And worse yet, I have no way of knowing if one has been sent except by accident. It doesn’t appear to be logged anywhere. Very un-user friendly. This verges on “evil”. I haven’t yet decided where, on the scale of “software evilness” this resides.
