Okay, so after a bit of research it turns out that their outgoing mail provider has been known to be misconfigured since at least 2015. They seriously just don't care if their customers can send email.

Don't get me wrong. I know exactly how easy it is to screw up a mail server config. Probably most people who have set such things up have messed it up, but keeping a broken config for years even when people are telling you exactly what's wrong seems pretty bad.

I'd think if your mail server was misbehaving you'd maybe want to get that fixed that so people can receive your email.

Today I've been going back and forth with my shop's insurance company because their outgoing mail server is misconfigured and their admin is a dope.

My usual route into work has been closed for construction for a while now. Today my alternate route was also closed. At this point it's probably faster to leave my house in the opposite direction.

The combination of roads being closed and a train being stopped where it blocked streets and police being present but not doing anything apparently useful made it difficult to get home today.

New vacuum cleaner seems to work much better than the old one. Picked up about 1 cat worth of fur on the first use.

Too often with projects in other languages I look at the code base and feel like I'm lost in a maze of tiny files, all alike with nothing to orient against. I'm sure one could write C/C++ like that, but why would you?

The more I do it, the more I like C++ as a language for doing server side web stuff. Is there something wrong with me? It's just really nice to be able to go back to a project after spending some time away from it and be able to read the code, follow the control flow, and figure out what I want to work on next.

Finally got around to buying a new vacuum cleaner to use at home. The one I already had was some not good thing that I don't even know where it came from but it took a lot of effort to pull the cat fur out of the carpet.

Okay, it's a nice coffee. Sweet, clean. It's a little lacking in body and personally I'd probably go a little darker, but that's just my own personal preference. I'm also sharing this with my staff.

Got a bag of coffee in the mail from someone on the Typica release mailing list. Brewing a pot to enjoy now.

Can't make a fool of yourself on twitter if you're not on twitter. (insert meme photo) send toot.

Kind of want to replay Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter (the one that encourages you to be strategic in planning when you lose).

Time to play some more Future Tone. My cat is a big fan of the Project Diva games.

The cat was upset that I didn't want her to play with some cables, but then I put her on the couch in front of a fan and she seems to be content to let that blow on her belly.

Last night I was going to edit a new video but instead just ended up moving a couple hundred GB off internal storage. Maybe I'll do better at that tonight.

USPS says they delivered a package for me this morning but that doesn't seem to be true.

And birdsite account is now also gone.

I seem to be deleting accounts elsewhere. LinkedIn and Facebook now gone.
