Re: How to Make an HTML Signature in Apple Mail for macOS Catalina 10.15

stephenfleming — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 15:26:03 -0000

Bought a new M1X Mac, which means Mac OS 12 Monterey. The custom signatures still work, but the image isn't displayed. (The image's alt-text is displayed in a box with a question mark.)

I went through all the steps again, just to be sure, and I think I tweaked everything correctly, but the image doesn't appear.

The image file is stored on my personal WordPress site: http://academicvc.com/wp-co...

Can you see any reason why Mail wouldn't load that into a signature?

Thanks!

This is exactly what I needed; thank you.

My hidden .mailsignature file didn't include a BODY tag, so I just deleted and replaced everything after "Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 13.4 $3608.80.23.2.2$)". Do you foresee any issues?

Also, the text parts of the signature remain editable in the Mail Preferences > Signature window... is that safe, or should I go through the whole TextEdit procedure again to make minor changes?

THANKS!

Irrelevant to this particular article (of which I approve) — is anyone at PJMedia responsible for site accessibility? I can comfortably read the first fragment of posts using Safari “Reader Mode”, but the “Load More” button breaks the page and makes it inaccessible to anyone with less than perfect eyesight.

I've tried these steps and many more. I still cannot get a reliable backup going. Details at <https: discussions.apple.com="" message="" 29669268="">. Any suggestions or inspiration would be welcome!

XCOR has no current plans to fly out of Spaceport America. That could change if a vehicle customer wants to do it, but it's not high on our list.

My favorite story is that a couple of scraps of aluminum from the wreckage went to Mars, as parts on the Spirit and Opportunity rovers.

I'm not going to argue your redefinition.

I *am* going to nitpick and point out that although Steve Blank seems to get credit by osmosis for "Business Model Generation," that book is actually by Alexander Osterwalder. /end-nitpick

Re: Tech Square celebrates 10th anniversary

Expanding across the canyon of the Downtown Connector not only transformed Georgia Tech... it transformed this entire area of Midtown. Businesses, restaurants, and residences have sprouted in the last ten years. Some of them want access to Georgia Tech faculty, students, and laboratories; some are just taking advantage of the "creative class" community anchored by Georgia Tech. It's a great demonstration of the value of public-private partnerships, and the impact that a major urban university can have on the surrounding fabric of the city.

Re: Allen Nance’s Breath of Fresh Air

In my world, wearing my "Not the Valley" button is an effective tool, because I am always (daily) coming into contact with people from outside the ecosystem. Politicians, visitors from other cities and countries, counterparts from other universities, big corporate players who don't know what's going on here and who still think RTP is a role model for us... In other words, people who don't read Allen Nance's blog. Some of the visitors have active government programs to "become the next Silicon Valley" and the ones that don't often wish that they did.

By providing a bit of cognitive dissonance, handing them a "Not the Valley" button makes them reexamine their unconscious assumptions, and it gives me a chance to talk about all the strengths that Atlanta has without needing to compare ourselves to Silicon Valley/the Bay Area.

If you're not doing that kind of outreach on a daily basis, the button isn't nearly as effective. We absolutely don't need a new brand for Atlanta (although the idea comes up every few years.) Our brand is "Atlanta." If people want to wear a different button, I suggest grabbing one of the "I am ATL" buttons like this one that Jen Bonnett is wearing:

I think you big-phone people are nuts. Your privilege, of course. That's what makes markets. But it looks like you're holding an iPad mini to your head. Better for me: iPhone 4S as phone/camera/constant companion, and an iPad mini for when I need the additional screen size.

Re: How One Faulty Nitrogen-Purge Valve Forced SpaceX to Abort

stephenfleming — Mon, 21 May 2012 17:57:34 -0000

And, of course, that post-ignition auto-abort was only possible because Falcon uses liquid fuels. Once you ignite solid rockets, you are LEAVING... the only question is how high, and in how many pieces. Notice that the ATK Liberty folks have been very, very quiet...

Re: How One Faulty Nitrogen-Purge Valve Forced SpaceX to Abort

stephenfleming — Mon, 21 May 2012 17:55:22 -0000

Yep. The one-second launch window was a management decision to maximize fuel at station, NOT a requirement of orbital ballistics. No telling how many handstands and pirouettes Dragon will be required to perform before being allowed to dock, and they want to have max fuel available for them.

Sigh. It's not a Space Shuttle. The shuttles are all headed to museums. I expect better from the Atlantic.

Re: Executive Summary Examples | Force of Good: a blog by Lance Weatherby

Yes, it is a good summary; unsurprisingly for Greg & Co. Although I kept visualizing Glengarry Glen Ross in the search for the leads!

How would I improve it? (1) Use "we" and "us" instead of "the BrightWhistle platform." (2) Use some other registrar than GoDaddy.

But this is a nice resource to have online.

Re: Time Warner Cable Says It’s Looking for Cord Cutters, but Can’t Find Them, Either

stephenfleming — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 08:37:41 -0000

Bozos are lying or in deep denial. We cut the cord in October. And we were premium-channel, high-def, multi-room subscribers paying $160/month to Comcast. AppleTV and Netflix provide us more than enough content to fill our screens. So we watch an episode of a show a day -- or a week -- late? Who cares?

Great map! But it just cries out for a third dimension showing the connectivity over time. I have no clue what tools one would use to create such a 3D diagram but I hope someone chimes in with a suggestion.

You ought to look up the meaning of the word "penultimate." It doesn't mean what you think it means.

Re: Nambupocolypse Averted

stephenfleming — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 09:38:59 -0000

I had to delete both the prefs file and the database folder, then re-download 1.2.1, then launch. Adding multiple accounts hung it up, so I'm living with a single Twitter account entered at this point. Got hung up several times switching from combined view to multi-column view; had to Force Quit each time. Then it seemed to run normally, but never fetched any new tweets, even when manually refreshed. So I quit and relaunched again, and now it SEEMS to be working correctly.

But my confidence level at this point is pretty low.

New version still won't load on my Mac. I deleted every file with 'nambu' or 'nambucom' in it before downloading a fresh copy and reinstalling. No luck. Is there another file I should trash? Frustrated...

I actually lost Nambu a couple of days early, when the 1.2 update crashed, burned, and soaked the ground with toxic waste. And I miss it badly. Hoping the Twitocalypse update also fixes whatever killed Nambu on my machine, since I miss it.
