Fixing
Posted on December 17, 2002 @ 16:53 in General
I fixed the car; took me about 2 hours.
I fixed Paula's computer, the router and network; took most of last weekend.
I messed up Paula's Outlook; took about 3 seconds.
I fixed Paula's Outlook; took about 4 hours.
Lessons learned? Hmm... If you install Outlook to make use of the Exchange server at work, there is a Delivery tab in the Services menu (under Tools) and you definitely will want to set that to your Exchange server mailbox. If it points to anything local, Outlook will download your mail from the server and then delete it from the server. Without any warning!
More lessons learned? Certainly! If you create an Outlook archive (.pst) file and you burn it to cd-rom, you cannot open that file with Outlook. Outlook can only open writable files. Copy the archive to your harddisk, right-click and choose properties, remove the "read-only" checkmark, and then finally open the file with Outlook to import all the messages you had inadvertently deleted from the Exchange server.
Now tell me, if I'm fixing that much, when am I supposed to work?
I still need to fix the website too...

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
