Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2011 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it!

I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

What domain name to use, and thus how to construct an email address for email-to-SMS on my phone.
Where the downloadable gzipped archives link is on mailman archive pages (example). On the right, right under my nose; no need to cast about and start constructing a wget
command.

Then you could have a simple search engine...
