"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I use hushmail for my email only domain, but that's because I have other needs. Um. And it costs per email address, so that's probably not what you're trying to achieve.

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

No, I'm trying to use my domains to give people alternative addresses. Since I don't have any dark net needs (ugh, did I just trip a flag? If so, go ahead and surveil me a bit--you will find the porn is fairly even-handed).

Google Apps costs $5 per user, so it's not for me. Damn. I WANT FREE LUNCH, dammit.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I didn't realize it wasn't free for individuals anymore. Lifehacker may have a workaround, though: [link]

That works for one email address, though. I wanted to be able to provide it to others, like my family. I get why they charge for it, it's just frustrating to be close and then denied.

Did people who had been signed up get grandfathered into "For Business".

I don't use it anymore, but for awhile I was using gmail for my domain. Now, I just forward everything to my standard gmail account. But I just logged in to my domain on gmail and all the addresses I set up were still there.

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

I had tagged a bunch of stuff in instapaper and pocket for work (and evernote for that matter) and I'm horrible about tagging and filing, so I took an hour across the accounts to take a look and file what I had saved in the past 2-3 months.

Come to find out I had a secret pocket account that has old old old articles I saved there from like four fucking years ago.

I think I'm just going to delete the acct because I can't see why I'd need any of that.

I am having two OS X problems:

  • My Mac keeps freezing, and hard. The applications freeze one by one until there's nothing left I can do, including force quit. I've restarted twice today. I can't find a recent installation to blame, but it certainly might be a recent update. What are the OS X troubleshooting steps in this scenario?
  • Time Capsule keeps choking with the sparsebundle error. If I reboot the NAS, all is good for a day or two more. But that's not a fix, it's a week stopgap. Googling isn't much help either. Is my Mac to blame, or the NAS? Anyone seen this before?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What are the OS X troubleshooting steps in this scenario?

1. check memory usage.
2. check disk usage. If it's more than, say, 90-95% then you're going to have performance problems.
