Well, last night I was good: in bed by 11:58pm, up this morning at 7:25am (slept in a little! that was nice).
Some of you (*cough*Justin*cough*) are still sending mail to my old email address. Send it to my “alumni” address instead!
For those that don’t know, “alumni.uvic.ca” email addresses aren’t actually email accounts at all — they’re redirectors.
Redirectors work like this: if you send an email to my alumni address, it automatically gets forwarded to the address of my choosing. This is handy, because it means I can change my actual email account without needing to tell anyone. Since July, my alumni address has been redirecting my mail to “asterizk@uvic.ca”; however, since said address will cease existence as of 11:59pm tomorrow night, I had to change it. I just happened to pay $49 back in October for a year’s worth of .Mac service. What a coincidence! 😀
I transitioned all my existing email from UVic to the .Mac account this morning. Pretty painless so far. The only thing I’ve run into is that the .Mac smtp (mail) server expects the “from” field of the e-mail I send to use my “mac.com” email address. You know, “only .Mac mail comes from .Mac mail servers”, that kind of thing. Trouble is, I’d like to keep the “from” address as my alumni redirector account. Never had this problem with UVic’s mail server.
Of course, the solution is obvious. Abuse work’s mailserver, which lets me use whatever “from” address I’d like. 🙂

End of an Era Approaches
Tomorrow night, “asterizk@uvic.ca” is no more. It’s hard not to feel a little sentimental. If you’ve still got that address kicking around, be sure to replace it with “krishen@alumniREPLACETHISUPPERCASESTUFFWITHADOTuvic.ca”. -
Time flies..
I seriously don’t know how people find enough time!
After grocery shopping, I got home from work around 8pm. Er….. I was going to go into this diatribe about clothes/dinner/dishes/icq/irc/msn messenger/ichat/email/blog, but I think I found my culprit.
To force myself see how little sleep I’m getting, I’m going to record it this week for the world to see: last night, in bed by 12:52am, up at 7:10am. My goal is to be asleep by 11pm. I’m not sure how this is going to happen, but we’ll see.
Last night I had the most unusual dream. I’m not going to get into it here, but trust me, it was weird. Definitely think I need more sleep.
I think the situation is complicated by the fact that I’m in EST, and most of my friends are in PST. Damn you, earth curvature!
