There's a disconnect somewhere

Wednesday, July 15, 2020

I received the following email from The Corporate Overlords:

All,

Microsoft is currently reporting service issue with the Outlook email client globally. They are rolling out fixes, however it may take several hours to complete.

Outlook on the web and mobile clients are unaffected. If you are currently experiencing Outlook crashes or problems accessing email via Outlook on your computer, please login with your [Corporate Overlord assigned] credentials to https://outlook.office.com or use the Outlook mail app on your mobile device.

There's an issue with using email, and they notify the users of this issue, by using email. I mean, I got it because I use the web version of Lookout. I have to wonder how many other people at the Corporation know of the issue …

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.

It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
