I have mail!

I may not be able to get Skype to work, but my backup machine now has mail working! Which means that I can send and recieve mail now! Of course, most of my mailing lists have disabled me due to bouncing, but at least some of that stuff is getting through. Yay!

So the Skype test call didn't work?

[kerravonsen]

No, there's something deeper wrong with my sound setup. I fixed some things about it, but skype doesn't even start up now. So I decided to leave it for now, and try again another day, probably after (a) redoing all the sound stuff and (b) getting the beta version of Skype-for-Linux. Something which requires a bit more energy than I have at this time in the afternoon.

OK, we can try again next weekend. :-)

How's the main machine going? Did they figure out what was wrong?

[kerravonsen]

The main machine is still cold and dead. The person who was/is going to fix it for me still hasn't managed to come and pick it up. Since he's doing it in his spare time out of the kindness of his heart, I can't really complain. And I dare not touch it myself, since it was me touching it that fried it in the first place.
