I feel like a tech geek today. Actually I wish I was more of one that I am. Maybe I should've gone to Carnegie Mellon to study computer science instead of NU for religion....

Anyway, on to my geeky accomplishment of the day. You may have heard that Mozilla finally released Thunderbird 2. It's not that big of an update over 1.5, but I like to have the latest and greatest of these kinds of software (unlike my officemates who resent having to move from Eudora to TB and never want to update). I love Thunderbird, but it's only really usable in the work world because of the Mail Redirect extension. Unfortunately, when I installed TB 2.0 today, I was informed that the extension wasn't compatible with the new release! I spent waaay too long looking for a similar extension, or news about when the extension would be updated, to no avail. And then I read Mozilla's instructions on how to build a new extension. I did not build my own, but I did use my new-found knowledge to tweak the existing extension so that it would work in 2.0. And it works now!!!

I had a dream last night that I ran a marathon in one hour and was asking people whether that was a good time. Keep in mind that I can't quite run a half marathon in two hours. And that a one-hour marathon would be a world record. By over an hour.

I am *not* registered for the marathon this year. But I may start running again.
