The other day, my beloved Mimestream started hanging and being slow. I’m probably not going to abandon it, but it was an excuse for me to set it aside for a while. I just opened a gmail.com tab in my browser and rolled like that for a while. It was nice. Honestly, I probably look…

“Free your newsletters from the inbox”, Meco says. I tend to agree. I keep my content consumption stuff out of my email inbox. I do that through Feedbin as it makes the most sense to me to combine that with RSS. But if you’re not an RSS type, I can see this being useful. Looks…

Rands, in I Hate Fish, says he’s conquered email after struggling with it for a long time: Are you still struggling with your email inbox? I’m not. It’s been years. Which basically boils down to two rules: It’s always elbow grease that gets it done in the end. Your job is to push through the…

Or maybe just do it automatically? Yep, that’s my take. Why? My alma mater Wufoo made it a choice of the person making the form. The default was to not do that, which I understand. Even though I’m a fan, it also feels like that’s the wrong choice for a default. It’s also interesting to…

It’s: The Forwardable Email: A way to help others actually make that connection they said they would They explain it in more detail on the site, but the gist is that if someone tells you they’ll connect you with somebody that is very appealing to you to be connected with, don’t just follow up with…

I’ve said this too many times but I won’t stop now. An HTML can be quite tastefully done by just doing a few things to improve the situation beyond a pure text email: No fancy layout or images or whatever, just better text. Maybe a style for buttons since they make for such clear “calls…

That’s what Resurf is, if you trust them to do it! It doesn’t have to be yourself, it can be whoever: Personally, I have reasonable doubts WordPress can truly offer a 100 years of hosting, but I think I trust it more than one guy’s side project. I gave them a buck to send a…
