how to turn a google+ community into a quasi “mailing list”

Posted on 22 March 201621 March 2016 By antipaucity No Comments on how to turn a google+ community into a quasi “mailing list”

Spurred by a recent question from an acquaintance in town, I asked on Google+ whether or not you can enable emailed notifications for a Community. This led to the elaborate Settings page for G+. It turns out that if you combine enabling a Community’s “Community notifications” (under the specific Community’s settings (which you find by…

please reply at top

Posted on 1 April 201531 March 2015 By antipaucity No Comments on please reply at top

There is a constant war over top-repliers, bottom-repliers, and inline-repliers. If you’re replying to an email, reply at the top. Unless there is some overarching need to reply inline (hint – it is very very rare). Bottom-replying makes me have to reread all the crap that has been left from previous messages before I get to what you…

columnar “email”

Posted on 15 January 201515 January 2015 By antipaucity 3 Comments on columnar “email”

There needs to be a better way of handling group conversations. IRC uses the constant scroll mentality. Email has reply-at-top, reply-at-bottom, and reply-inline. Forums, reddit, Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and the like have a scroll-like view – every new post is merely sequentially listed after the last. This can all lead to highly confusing digital conversations….

Posted on 24 April 201421 April 2014 By antipaucity 3 Comments on automatically extract email attachments with common linux tools

decentralizing email

Posted on 6 February 20136 February 2013 By antipaucity 7 Comments on decentralizing email

After several years of pushing all of my personal email into Gmail, I’ve decided that relying [almost] exclusively on one provider is just not the best idea ever. Google is great. But, as with any cloud service, exclusively relying on just one provider is not the best. Going forward, I am going to be relying…

double at – email triangulation

Posted on 28 November 2012 By antipaucity 2 Comments on double at – email triangulation

Why has no one come up with an email routing/sending system that can use multiple at (@) signs? For example, why not have an author@antipaucity.com@apple.com? The email could be routed to both auther@antipaucity, and @apple – and/or could force-route mail through the first mail system (presuming credentials were available). Let the flames spark.
