touch wood... lick frosting
looks like the email technical issues are sorted.
online access remains limited but at least i can use Mail when i am online and MobileMe is now happy because it can once again talk to Mail. i was terrified i was going to have to send the laptop away for a software fix but i've just tracked down a tip on a forum and thank the Lord it appears to have worked. all i know of the cause is that something appears to have gotten corrupted.
to save the Father, i'll say it:
corrupted?
with me around? surely not.
mercy!
but it's fixed so i really don't care what caused it. as long as it keeps working from here on in.
right. 36 hours ago i was determined to learn how to make cinnamon rolls having read Peace Like A River by Leif Enger (in which they are baked several times). all the palava with trying to fix mail Mail means i didn't get around to it, and i'll admit to being a little uncertain about the recipe i had found. but with Mail and thus calm now restored i've done another search and come across an Alton Brown overnight recipe that's looking a lot more reliable.
thank the Lord for geeks who spend their days answering strangers queries on forums for little or no thanks.
if i'm needed, i'll be in the kitchen.

technical issues - attn Shirley
i'm mostly offline this week and to top it off am now having severe email problems. something's aglitch with syncing my mobileme account and when i try to send out replies from mail they disappear.
so, this is a note for shirley (and anyone else that's been emailing me)- i can see the mails as they come in but having trouble responding.
ack. desperate to get this shite sorted. the only way i can pick up my mail is on my UK iphone and that data roaming bill is gonna be horrible if this goes on much longer. i can't tell where the problem is originiating.
