It occurs to me today, as I try repeatedly to do something so simple as to coordinate a group project via e-mail, that e-mail is a broken system.
I have not been able to consistently recieve and send e-mail with people I need to be in contact with for months. On average, I have to send an e-mail twice to get it somewhere, and on average, I tend to recieve about 25% of the e-mail people (claim) to send me.
That’s a broken system. I can’t rely on it.

My e-mail is quite fast, easy-to-use, and reliable. It might be time to switch who you’re using.

Who i’m using is gmail, oxy, and jason-preston.com.
Oxy is the least reliable of all, because their mail system goes down like once every ten minutes.
Gmail is pretty good, but I still run into problems occasionally.
Jason-Preston.com works excellently except that most places assume my e-mail is spam because it’s not a big-time mailserver.
Having shitloads and shitloads of spam floating around the internet has made it really expensive to run a mail service effectively (block spam, let the real mail through).
