Next installment

Well, I heard back from F, a lot of stuff I don't feel like posting. The salient points are that he doesn't want to see me but, to my great surprise, he forgives me for doing him wrong. ("I forgive you," he says.) I'm very grateful for that. Also, it seems that Sabbath has been systematically lying to him for some time.

I shall be sending him a reply, and that may well be the end of a long friendship. Sigh. The worst of it is, I brought this upon myself, and I really do feel ashamed. I hate that. Perhaps there is a streak of pride through me that I hadn't noticed before--perhaps this is why so many people have called me arrogant. (The puny mortals!)

Ah, life...

Recently, my ISP decided to close down the server on which my account has been happily ticking over for lo, these four years, and move me to a new one. This entails a change of address from javanet.com to rcn. com. I went to their website, followed their instructions, and moved my account on Tuesday. I then spent 20 minutes waiting to have a five minute conversation with tech support to fix the problems I was then having with email. (It turns out that they forgot to tell us that there would be a different outgoing email server, and what its designation would be.)


Just now, I have received an email from RCN. It begins--

Dear Customer:

As you know, RCN is decommissioning the JavaNet servers and moving your account to RCN servers. We noticed that your account has not yet migrated. Please take a moment to migrate this account before Monday, February 11th in order to insure uninterrupted Internet service.
