everything's not lost.

seen in an e-mail signature from a customer:

this is absolutely true :)

i know i print mails every now and then – still hardly ever – and only if there are a lot of things on it i have to cross off, but i know other people who print almost every e-mail and read them on paper instead of the screen. or they archive e-mails the old fashioned way instead of only moving it in their e-mail program. couldn’t believe it myself at first..

yay! new moo minicards here. a few new pix and a few old ones again… and the back side is rather experimental haha :D

also, i got myself the card holders, pretty cool :)

happy new year and all that rest btw.

if there are two ways to do something – do it the hard way?

a customer said, that there was a problem with the delivery of an e-mail and that she got an error message (probably from the MAILER-DAEMON), so i asked her to forward that mail (she didn’t think of that before, nor did she tell me the recipient e-mail so I could check the logs on my own).

what i got was

• an e-mail with “here you go”
• the e-mail had an attachement
• the attachement was a pdf file
• the pdf file was the scan of the mail
• the scan was a OCR scan as well, so i could copy/paste*

uhm. works for me… but hey…. why not use the “forward” button in your mail-client? :)

reminds me of the times (yes, happened more than once!) when I asked for the screenshot of an error message and got either a scanned print OR a snapshot from a digital camera when someone made a picture of the screen. once someone used the flash for the photo and I couldn’t see the error message because of the reflection.

fun times, fun times.

* copy/paste was useless by the way since the print that has been scanned was scanned a little distorted so there was no use for that :)
