Catching up on email, again
"No new mail! Want to read updates from your favorite sites? Try Google Reader"
Apparently Gmail now plugs more than just Google News when you have an empty inbox. I didn't know this because I haven't had an empty inbox since March 6. Holy hell, this has been the worst email-avoidance streak yet. I just spent about 10 hours responding to well over 100 messages, which is more email than I think I've sent in the past three months. The earliest unanswered messages were from mid-March, a whole week or so after the last Great Purge.
I remember back in 1994 when I used to pride myself on answering every email I received, within seconds of reading it. Ha, what a joke! I'm starting to think I have no business even giving out my email address anymore, if I'm never going to respond to anything sent there.
Another thing I did today: took care of a bunch of little Zyzzyva details, mostly word definitions and other lexicon fixes. Including a Volost lexicon! I plan to release 1.0.5 tomorrow (uh, today) with all its Volost goodness. I had to laugh out loud as I was testing it out. Creating the database took about 1 second. Searching for Length: Min 2, Max 15 found 2 words. I took a quiz over the entire lexicon and got 100% correct. While testing the word judge, I tried to imagine the tenseness of the scene after one Volost player has just issued a challenge. As the players stride nervously to the computer, will the word be acceptable? VOLOTS: UNACCEPTABLE. "Crap! I can never remember how to spell that word!" Yeah, this update is so totally worth it.
