I love lighthouses, puffins and whisky.
You can probably tell I don't spend a lot of time hanging around the board any more, but I make cameo appearances now and then.
Because all the cool kids are doing it:

Whenever my grandma
learned that someone had died -- a celebrity she liked, a neighbour, a relative, etc -- she would always say,
"He sure made good doughnuts."

PINE
Since webmail is inexcusably slow here at the university where I'm doing research these days, I check my email with PINE, using the PuTTy telnet client. HTML-formatted emails come through as fairly crap, but I can save attachments to the file server with three keystrokes.
I also keep in touch with friends by writing letters. With a fountain pen and postage stamps. If I'm lucky I get one letter back for every ten I write, but it's better than nothing.
