Outlook

We just made the discovery (ok, it's likely old news to Microsofties, but I've been blessed I guess) that Outlook's Test My Settings button only appears to show up if you're using a POP account - not IMAP.

But that's ok, because it returns false results; it says things fail when they don't, at least if you're using SSL on not-port-25.

The mind boggles. "Don't use open source, it's poorly documented and doesn't work right." Yeah, right.

Pirst Fost (sorta)

Every weblog requires a first post.


Edit 23 April 2006: Since I just finished importing stuff from my other weblog (one is ok, two is acceptable, but three is ridiculous) this is actually the first MovableType 3.2 post. I'd intended to keep work stuff separate from more personal stuff (mostly hockey) but any of my co-workers can easily find any of the weblogs anyway.
