dchenesYesterday I finally found where Netscape 7 for Mac OS X hides its mailbox files. It's kind of the equivalent of in the basement in the bottom drawer of a locked filing cabinet stored in the back of a disused lavatory, but not quite. It's about three layers down in a folder labeled Mozilla. In any case, now I can import my mail into Mac Mail, so that worked. Chalk up one successful computer experiment.
All day yesterday I was thinking about egg drop soup, but it finally occurred to me that I didn't really want soup at all, so it turned into a stirfry idea. What I wound up with was stirfried celery and water chestnuts and two kinds of mushrooms and baby bok choy and edamame and baby corn and rice noodles. It worked surprisingly well, although there were so many vegetables that I wound up with not quite enough noodles. So, chalk up one moderately successful cooking experiment, too.
Now I'm hungry again. I've been trading off lunch and dinner lately; one day I'll have a lot of lunch and not much dinner, and the next I'll have little or no lunch and a largish dinner. (I know, it's probably not healthy to do that, but I tend to listen to what my stomach is saying, and if it's hungry at dinner but not at lunch, I don't force lunch on it.) Besides which, there's the whole eating at work vs. getting ulcers from eating at work while trying to stand on my head and play two trumpets (figuratively) problem. Which has just leaped out of the library, in the persona of my boss, who is going to be in mortal peril if he doesn't quit presenting me with utter trivia that Absolutely Has To Be Done NOW!!!!
Sometimes I wonder if I'm a secretary or a babysitter. Oh well, at least it's Friday, and tomorrow I go to the DiMartino Pre-Christmas My, How You've Grown Festival, which is actually a lot of fun. I started calling it the My, How You've Grown Festival because it's the gathering at which I see relatives I only see once a year, and who couldn't seem to realize that I stopped growing when I was 14. However, now that I'm 27, I enjoy it.
Happy Friday, all.

Netscape
Date: 2002-10-10 08:10 am (UTC)All the mail I have in Microsoft Outlook Express on the other hand will take a bit more work.
Still, Netscape puts it's cache in the profile, which is then part of the roaming user profile on a domain, which means 16 or more megs extra junk being copied to the and from the Domain server whenever someone logs off or logs on. And it's stuff they don't need anyway! ARG!!!
