If you're looking for more SIGGRAPH stuff, read the last paragraph.

I recently started experimenting with using Evolution Email as my primary email client. I've had a love/hate relationship with it in the past, but my recent obsession with GPG, coupled with Enigmail's various deficiencies, meant that my Thunderbird experience was drawing to a close.

I'm always tickled when applications try to be smart, especially in unexpected ways. So imagine my delight when I ran across the dialog box in the picture. Of course, any human being will tell you that the text in the message clearly does not refer to a present attachment. But ‘A’ for effort, Evolution!

And really, my ribbing is only half-serious, as I've forgotten to attach a promised file more often than I'd care to admit. So I can seriously see this dialog box saving my behind in the future.

As for new SIGGRAPH-related blog entries. Obviously, SIGGRAPH is over now, and Peter and I have returned home. I do have pictures, and I have every intention of blogging about the trip. It may take a while though, because my week-long absence has left me with a goodly amount of catching-up to do. So keep your RSS reader tuned to this frequency, but don't hold your breath. (All kinds of mangled metaphors! Score!)

ttyl!
