Email count

As you may know, when I was offline for 10 days back a few months ago for a bad modem, there was thousands of emails waiting when I got back online. Right now, one weekend offline, I have 200 waiting, but I expect that a busy week on the Geek's list will easily make those numbers balloon quickly. From when I shut off my computer on Friday, until I get back online(assuming the 10th as my reconnect date), it will be 15 days. 4000+ after 10 could realistically mean more then 6000 waiting when I get back online. Hmm. I guess I know what I will be doing between the 10th and Gnomedex, reading mail. I am being smart and going through all of my mail boxes(or at least the two major ones) and removing the Spam and other junk I don't find critical, like the InfoWorld and CNN newsletters. Oddly, the only email in my Geekblog.net account that was not Spam was one from Lockergnome, and yes, those are being kept.

I counted about 175 or so Geeks list posts, and one or two nice emails, including the one from the press, as well as 3 or 4 LG newsletters in the Geeksworld.net account. I think one or two days into the week will show how the email count will go, and by the funeral I will know for sure what to expect when the modem starts going solid green. I hope to have a reply in the mail box tomorrow from the reporter, which I will have to remember the name of the reporter when I get home tomorrow, and maybe a good news piece as well. At that, I need to get to bed, as I need to be up at 7:30-8 AM. Have a good net... err night.
