My email is operational again. Hooray! Last night Ken did his techie thing (including speaking with customer service) and found I could get in through Eudora, which lets spam in and doesn't have my full address book but let me read my mail.
Tonight all is well, and I can use my beloved webmail with my full mailing list, no spam (amazingly!) and other nice things.
In the meantime, we had day two of our new computer management software. Still only minor glitches. The complaints from patrons who don't like the changes are more annoying. And it's almost always the adults who complains. Today the computer froze up on one teen who lost some of the essay he'd typed in, then he couldn't log back in because the computer thought he was already on. The young guy was simply grateful the nice library lady (my colleague) finally got him back into a computer again.
Our "new" secondhand staff photocopier (we don't rate new ones, not on the budget the county gives us) is flashing "low toner" even though I gave the darn thing a new toner cartridge last week (it came to us with a nearly-spent toner cartridge, of course)and it's spitting out perfectly fine, appropriately dark copies. So I called the vendor and put up a note:
"The staff copier "low toner" symbol is flashing. It is lying. "
I hate when equipment lies to me.
Got more art for our very own anime and manga mini-con, and had a wonderful conversation with one of our club members, who draws, writes, and sews. She had a wonderful tote bag she'd made herself with very cool star-printed fabric. All this creativity is excellent!
To end on a technological note, I read it's not a good idea to be on the computer much past 9 pm if one wants to relax and wind down for a good night's sleep. A couple of weeks ago I made a resolve to get off the darn computer for any reason by 9 pm each night. It is now 10:58 pm. I guess I should sign off.
