It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Astrid.com is still out for me today, argh!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Also, can I associate multiple tasks with a single context profile in Tasker? Like, I have a task named "Class" that switches my ringer to vibrate, but turns my media up and keeps my screen alive, so I can quickly play reference tracks. I use that same "Class" task at each of my school locations profiles. But now I want to add the Astrid to-do list filters for each location. So it needs to be a different task for each school.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just logged in and deleted a task, so I got nothing for you Liese.

I am crankypants at your radiating awesomeness.

Also, did you ever get your calendar widget worked out? I'm downloading Pure Calendar (the grid version) right now to try out. It looks like it'll integrate Astrid and Google calendar, and what's more, if I also buy Widget Locker I could put access to it on my lockscreen.

Meanwhile, I'm syncing Astrid to Producteev to see if I can use that as the web interface for the duration. I may like it better anyway.

Liese is might be a DNS thing. Have you tried switching temporarily to Google public DNS?

Hmmm. That's a good idea.

Nope, doesn't seem to be it. It did reveal to me that I thought I'd switched over to OpenDNS but hadn't.

I'd also made adjustments to my cookies security, so I thought maybe that was it, that it needed to pass info to cloudfront.net, but enabling cookies doesn't seem to do the trick either.

I guess I just have to accept what Astrid is saying and hope it comes back at some point. In the meanwhile, Producteev is pretty nice.

Coding and Sleeping

I'm up to three computers, three routers, a switch, and two cable modems in my office. Not an impressive collection relatively speaking, but I'm building up a decent collection of hardware.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

okay, I am archiving email from IMAP using Thunderbird.

It is downloading messages. Do I drag the messages to local folders to make sure they are archived or does the IMAP folder structure after download do that for me?

Imap does preserve folder structure. But with every email server I used Imap does not work well for archiving. Delete an email on the server side and it deletes in Imap as well. Delete a folder on the server side and the whole folder deletes on the client side as well. Of course I've used Imap in only two cases - gmail and my university email,so maybe there are client or server settings where this won't happen, But I think you pop is better for backup or archiving, and pop unfortunately does not preserve folder structures.
