pseydtonneNorthland Communications finally blew it with me, scant weeks after I dutifully made my annual payment for my increasingly ancient shell account. They are no longer serving my interest except in keeping alive an email address of eight years.
I'll tell y'all more when I'm not half asleep. My mailbox was ten times beyond their limit. However, I never knew how close I was to the limit and they could only find out when they asked the sysadmin. You have no idea how angry I am with them. The full story will be worth reading, I promise.
I leave my mail remotely. Lots of it. Unsorted. It's how I work. 30 MB is a lot of email. I realize this. I'm a pack rat, okay? However, I should be informed my limit isn't the 10 MB I'd signed up for in 1996 but 3 MB. Three! In 2005, when I have a memory stick on a lanyard with a measly 128 MB. I wasn't able to look up my usage because "that's a different server". Asshats galore! Fucking Uticans.
I have not been able to send or receive mail since noon Thursday, when a system sweep happened. If you need to email me, please use pseydtonne at gmail dot com. I will be setting up a Linux box to let me run the backup I need to perform. After that, I get my Dreamscape mailbox back. I have to get it below 3 MB if I ever want to use it again; it's at 24 MB after much skinnying.
Does anyone have advice about good shell providers? I want a POP3, I want to call dibs on a domain name, I must have a bash or tsch shell on a modern UNIX flavor, and none of these draconian limits.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tkitch mentioned Delta Web Hosting. Anyone else have a fave? I am looking to stick with whomever I choose for a decade. Please let me know.
-if I weren't on an SSRI I'd be too pissed off to sleep
P.S.: I also found out I have to use the full 1040 and fill out Schedule D this year. Ah, my thirties arriveth!
