My PGP Key

Hi there,

This is a quick post just to let you know that I've updated my PGP key.

You know someone f*cked up when...

I think that sometime I'll create a number of posts here called "You know someone f*cked up when...", but, created or not, here's the #1 of the (potential) series...

You go to your mailbox and see:

xxxxxxxxx would like to recall the message, "xxxxxxxx...".

For those wondering, this is what Microsoft calls a recall message. The problem here is that Microsoft doesn't stop thinking that the world belongs to them, so they keep doing stuff that only works with their systems, even for their bad. They never thought of making this "functionality" a standard (and it's so poorly designed that I doubt they would achieve that with this implementation) so...

Recall only works for:

• Messages that are sent to other UWSP email accounts.
• The recipient must be using the Outlook client.
• The recipient's mailbox must be open for the recall to succeed.
• The message must still be unread and in the recipient's Inbox.

This means that the rest of the world not only recieves the e-mail you didn't want to send, as they recieve a message telling them that you didn't want to send it (turning more attention to it).

Lesson #1: stop using Outlook.
