Great Pete!

You’re a whole day after me, so do whatever you want to do. Since you’re in the right-after-lunch slot, you may want to yell at people more–so they don’t fall asleep. I’m not sayin’ I’m doing that, though.

See ya there, Mike!

I’ll do my best to tone down whatever the heck I talk about.

Also, I’ll try to yell at people less.

Or more.

Either one.

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .
net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.

But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress
on a variety of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
I have heard great things about blogengine.net.

Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into
it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Comment on So, That's It For Thunderbird by metaverse

I agree that it would be a terrible thing if Thunderbird went away entirely, but as long as some users are around, I’m pretty certain there would be enough developers (even just one!) to maintain the code through whatever operating system upgrades occur.

For a long time, I used Thunderbird and its predecessors on Windows and KMail on Linux. What I always liked about KMail was the list management tools and the brilliant threading and navigation. Then KMail 2.0 became unmanageable, at least on my aging laptop. I personally hope that the KDE-PIM project takes advantage of this moment to make KMail more stable and functional.

I use a desktop mail client. (Claws Mail, for what it’s worth.) And the one on my smartphone. And Web clients where it’s the only option. Either way, e-mail is still vital for two tasks: 1) business communications and 2) account confirmations, password resets and so on. And it’s not like I wouldn’t like to see XMPP taking over these tasks, but it’s just not the same thing.

Whether Mozilla should (continue to) have an e-mail client in their product range is a different question. I just hope Thunderbird doesn’t go away, because less choice in the market is the last thing everyone needs.
