It could have been mass quantities of tadpole shit that killed your fish, or...

**See what I did there?**  

LOL!

My computer woes continue.  I figured I'd completely uninstall office, install it again and just begin anew with Outlook.  No chance, thanks to Win8.1's internet wizardry, it was so helpfull as to reinstall all my settings as well.    It's still borked.

Is this your new surface?

No.  Well, yes.  Kinda.  I'm trying to get outlook on my Sufrace and my Desktop synced, and figured that unless I wanted to open up my whole network to a constant barage of spam and viruses, what I tried was my best option.  My outlook on my Surface suffers from the same problems though, as I tried to do the same stuff on it.  I think that something just slowed my nas down too much for Outlook to handle.

I figured out that if I just deleted all accounts in my outlook and reconfigured them, things seem to work.  Anyhow, it's not that the hardware itself is broken to a point where I can't fix it, it's just me meddling with settings I have little comprehension of.

I don't get it, I have a few email accounts and once they're registered it works like butter.

Since my online mailbox is very limited in capacity, as it's connected to my website (as opposed to something like google), and I'm too much of a scrooge to pay a reasonable amount for more webspace, I have set Outlook to download all my mails from my server.  Meaning that they're stored locally.  This then implies that if I have multiple devices, they don't sync, as they're both storing the mails (and those I send) locally.  Which is a pain in the ass.


I could do 2 things: I could use my NAS as a mail server, giving me near infinite room to store my mails, but this also means that all the spam I get on a daily basis travels through my firewall, right to the heart of my network.  Or I could try to find a way for that local Outlook file to be stored on the NAS, and have Outlook access it from there.  I'm currently trying to get option 2 working.

Which is all fine and dandy, unless some firmware update for the NAS slows things down to a crawl, thus rendering every program that needs to fetch data from it useless.  I'm pretty proud of what I've achieved so far regardless of whether I get it to work or not, as prior to owning a NAS I had zero knowledge of what goes on inside my computer and networks.

Played two games this weekend:

**I secretly LOVE IT when one of my characters traits is that he is Gay. Just for the description alone! It says something like "Gay: You are a fan of the man." Now how didn't I think of that first?!**

What about you, Rogues?

I played two PS2 games this weekend: Skyrim and Fallout 3. I'd forgotten how choppy the framerate and how blurry the textures were on these old PS2 games.

How so?

I'm putting a lot if time into it.  Had to start way back on a previous save and I'm pretty much where I was before.  I did, however, start TLoU and Ninja Gaiden this week.

Ah.  I am just hoping to beat a single level of shovel knight today, but I'm otherwise ridiculously busy.
