Striving for a bit of production from all this thought.
I finally finished We Few, the latest book by David Weber and John Ringo in the Prince Roger series of stories. I say “finally” because this means I can refocus on homework and stop slacking off. It was a damned good book, but I’m curious as to whether the series will continue. It’s been years since I’ve frequented the Baen discussion groups, so I feel very much out of the loop.
*sigh* I have a desire for so much more information than I am currently receiving…
It’s been a couple of months since I tracked food intake in a systematic way; it’s also been a couple of months since my figure was where I wanted it to be. So yesterday I resumed tracking, and quite frankly, I’m surprised I’m not even bigger than I am right now. By lunch yesterday I had consumed almost 1800 calories, most of which were from lunch (it was the salad dressing that got me, so that wasn’t in volume). I’ve stopped planning meals and I’ve stopped being conscious of what I’m eating.
No more. I’m heading back down to a 1600 calorie max per day, and all of it will be logged. I have good food I can make for lunch and dinner, and there’s no reason to eat out as often as I do. I eat past full, and need to work to regain awareness of quantity and fullness, rather than letting myself get lost in the taste.
1800 calories by lunch… ouch.
Things are looking up for me:
There are a few not-so-good things going on right now, primarily centered around health and money and grades, but caution and patience and persistence are probably going to be the keys to coming through these next two months without ending up on the far end of the wrong side of the okayness spectrum.
Mae and I figured out the secret to college life at Rose today.
Here’s what I want a solution to:
Microsoft Exchange uses the typical Outlook rules, except that they’re stored on the server. This is nice, because you can automatically sift through and sort emails before you ever see them in Outlook or Outlook Web Access.
These rules permit emails to be automcatically forwarded or redirected. Forwarding works in the same style as manual forwarding, in which the subject line is prepended with “FW:” and the original headers lie within the message. Redirecting, on the other hand, obliterates the original headers and makes it seem that the email was sent directly to the person the email is redirected to.
Those options aren’t bad, in and of themselves. Problems arise when emails are sent to multiple people or to a mailing list that you’re on–all that information is lost, and it may not be clear from the context of the message if the message was actually sent directly to me.
The only solution I can come up with is to have a complex set of rules for the various mailing lists I’m on–some get redirected, some get forwarded.
Another rule I want to have in Outlook/Exchange: the ability to change the subject of the message. I want to prepend “[All Campus Shit]” to emails sent to the entire campus, for instance. Can’t do that, either.
Grr.
