Who The Hell Are You People? - part II: MessageLab Incursion!
okay, I’m not trying to get all narcissistic here (it’s a totally spontaneous reaction, I assure you), but now that I’ve gotten over my wonderment at the proliferation of a weird search term bringing visitors here, I am now wondering about a number of visits from one new source with which I am unfamiliar. SO: If you are visiting from Messagelab, could you drop me a line and tell me what’s up with the fifteen or so visits over the past two days, many of which are of long duration?
and if you’re suddenly getting weird messages from MessageLab, could you let me know? I’d hate to be a condiut for any weirdnesses other than my own.
And since you’ve been so patient, allow me to share a delightful vignette: Zach came to me a few days ago with one of my sudoku books and proudly told me that he’d helped me with it by filling in some of the numbers for me. Really, Z-bot? That’s very sweet of you. You know, those numbers go in a special order. How did you figure it out? Oh, it’s okay, dad, I know the numbers - all the numbers. Well you know, son, that each of these groups of boxes has each number from 1 to 9 only one time, and each number 1 to 9 across each back-and-forth row and each up-and-down row. Did you know that? I know more numbers than that, dad. I filled them in from 1 to 14. Oh son, that’s excellent. I never got that high. Thanks for helping! Sure thing, dad. Anytime you need help with the numbers, you can ask me.
And I will!
