Hotmail Backlogs

Let me get rid of my hotmail backlog. Sometimes, I can check hotmail account several times to se if there is no emails for me, but some time (just like recently), I didn’t check it in the last two days and found 50+ new emails. I know I missed more recently. I have to appologize for not responding to many emails about information on Shanghai, such as how to get from one location to the other, how to buy certain goods in Shanghai. I really love to answer these questions, but it is obvious that I don’t have the bandwidth to handle that. Many one idea is to ask for some volunteers to help, but I believe I don’t have time to manage this, the other idea, I guess is better, is to direct the questions to a volunteer groups, Shanghaiist.com. It is a small group of people living in Shanghai willing to help people. Dan Washburn, the famous journalist, my good friend and a frequently mentioned person on this blog, started the website and I am honorablely be part of the team. Although I told Dan that I may not be able to contribute a lot, Dan still kindly kept me in the membership list:

Shanghai blogs

Bingfeng Teahouse

China Herald

Micah Sittig

Myrick

Running Dog

Shanghai Eye

Shanghai Diaries

Sinosplice

Wang Jian Shuo

They have formed up some ways to help people to answer questions about Shanghai. The column is called Ask Shanghaiist. On the website, Dan said: “Need answers? Advice? Ask Shanghaiist! Email shanghaiist(@)gmail.com.”

BBS on this site is also a good choice. The community may help.

  1. Why do you stick with a measly 2Mb Hotmail account? I know that they once ‘promised’ a 250Mb account, but they still have yet to keep their promise. Why not use a Gmail (2401 MB at the time of posting this comment), or Yahoo (1Gb) account? If you want, I could send you an invite for GMail.

    Am curious, is your loyalty with Hotmail, simply because you work for Microsoft?

    Btw, here’s more details of that promised 250 Mb Hotmail account, http://www.nirmalya.net/blog/archives/2004/06/250_mb_hotmail_coming_soon.html

    REPLY TO MY PRIVATE E ;mail;barrister696@yahoo.fr]

    Attn: Dear Friend,

    I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise,please accept the content in good faith.

    I do not intend to cause any grief to you and your family.The reason for sending this mail is very

    fundamental to the doctrine of human privileges and right.

    I am Barrister franklin larry, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to a national of your country

    Mr. H. Stevenson and used to work with his Company in Lome Togo.

    Here in after shall be referred to as my client.

    On the 25TH FEB 2005, my client,his wife and their

    only daughter were involved in a car accident alongNouvissi express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.

    After these several unsuccessful attempts,I have reasoned very professionally and I

    feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so that you can be

    paid the funds left in his finance firm.

    I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an

    advantage,equally from the same country, that the proceeds of this finance firm valued at US$10.3M can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds. 45% for you and 50% for me, while 5%

    should be for expenses or your Government may require

    Taxes.

    The said finance Firm has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account

    confisicated.

    I expect your urgent response indicating your full interest in this great business to our both mutual

    trust.Your telephone and fax number will be needed for

    our easy communication.

  5. I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted

    out because it is about the individual but it can be with everyone.
