Subject: Your Email ID Will Expire Soon!

Please be advised that your CUIT computer account, XXXXX, will expire early on the first Tuesday after 2006-11-29.

If you are an employee and you believe you are still eligible, please contact your department administrator.

If you are an alum, please see

http://www.columbia.edu/acis/accounts/alum-info.html

for information on alumni e-mail forwarding and other alumni services. If you have already set up alumni forwarding, it will continue to work. This message just means that your old Columbia mailbox and Cunix access are expiring.

IF YOU THINK YOU SHOULD STILL BE ELIGIBLE

Most CUIT computer accounts remain valid for as long as you remain eligible without any action on your part. If you think you should still be eligible to have an account, reply to this message or see

http://www.columbia.edu/acis/support/

Note: If you are affiliated through Teachers College, Barnard College, or Union Theological Seminary, please contact local computing support at those institutions first to discuss your eligibility for e-mail.

WHEN YOU LEAVE COLUMBIA

If you are not an eligible alum (see above), once your account expires, mail sent to it will be returned to the sender. We can install an auto-reply to inform senders of your new e-mail address. See

We welcomed a new addition to the family this past week. The brother got married. Welcome to the family Audrey!

all in all, a good time. the ceremony was done at city hall on the 22nd. banquet was on the 25th. friends and family from all over the world gathered to celebrate.  particularly nice was the carmen visit. it seems that running around san francisco in november can be a lot of fun.

Oh, NBA television rights why do you hate me so?

of concern is the crushing footnote:

Sacramento Kings games are not available in the Bay Area due to NBA restrictions.
ESPNEWS and other programming will air during games and replays.

f-ing warriors.

the sound of 18,000 pennies marching out of my piggy bank . . .

The candy has been bought and is waiting patiently for trick-or-treaters. Will tonight be the first night i give away some halloween candy? only time will tell . . .

update: it looks like this wasn’t the year . . . i guess there’s always next year.
