I’m an Apple guy …
I got a call today to help a client whose email just stopped sending. Bad news, since I personally just set up her new email accounts a handful of days ago. I rearrange my day, drive over; check it out. Yep, it won’t send. The email client (Outlook) on their desktop machine constantly asks for the login info. I finally eliminated all other possibilities (including deleting the account I so very recently installed) and since the error persisted I concluded that it MUST be the ISP – give them a call. So the client called them. To make a long story short – the ISP made changes without telling anyone. My client called and there was a voice mail stating the same. Sigh. Thanks.
All this time, while my client was on the phone, I was exploring their brand new Windows 7 laptop – looking for the email client – such as outlook – so I could setup email on that new computer. I looked, and looked and looked. Am I dumb or what? I can’t find any email client. Feeling quite low IQ, I searched the internet. It seems Windows 7 doesn’t have an email client installed …. :P

Font Management on Snow Leopard
Today has been a most incredible day of learning about fonts, specifically, font management in the context of Snow Leopard.
Once upon a time, I thought it was cool to have fonts – so I gobbled them all up – every one that came my way and kept them on my computer. Not wanting to mix them with system fonts, user fonts, I put these guys in separate font folders. I once even had special software for font management. Then, as OSX developed, a new thing came along – Font Book. Good bye 3rd party software and hello font book. Well, somewhere along the way I changed computers, maybe once or twice. Moved all my fonts from here to there, and now, some 10 years along the road, I have found that my fonts have multiplied! (more…)
