assetManager email notication - it works BEAUTIFULLY

Beautiful. David Davies' assetManager allows me to make a post, and specify an email address when I create the post. It then sends perfectly-formatted HTML mail to the address I entered.

I set up a group for this weblog on Yahoo! groups, to serve as a(n) (admittedly bastardized) listserv type of system, so that when I post in Radio the email gets sent to Yahoo, and then from there onto the members of the list.

Your mileage may vary, but my SMTP server and/or firewall does not allow this type of redirect, so I cannot just enter the Yahoo group email address directly. To work around this, I have set up a recognized email address in my SMTP server to catch and redirect the post from RU to the Yahoo group mail address.

The caveat is that the Yahoo group must that redirector mail's address as a registered "member".

This works for me - thank you David!

Al Gore - the next Steve Martin?

Even though Gore says he won't run for Prez, he'd rather join Saturday Night Live as a regular. All this after having invented the Internet, the guy's going to be knackered out.  

Gore 'will not stand for president'. Former US Vice President Al Gore decides not to run for the White House in 2004, ruling out the possibility of a rematch against George Bush. [BBC News | Front Page | UK Edition]

More Japan fish-named Anime

Wonderful stuff - this new anime cited on Boing Boing Blog is one which I have never seen in Japan. The food-referencing names that they mention reminded me of another show:

"The Sushi Seals" is an adult-oriented Japanimation TV show structured around a bunch of characters with raw-fish cuisine names. The episode descriptions sound so not-funny, they're kinda funny. "Ikura" means "salmon eggs," btw.

There's a wholesome show that's been running every Sunday evening for, oh, 60 years or something in Japan, called "Sazae san", that talks about the adventures of a family with fish names. Big sis is "Sazae" (turbo), then there's "Ikura" (salmon roe) and other intriguing names. Maybe it's a trend, or somethin'.

The Japan Page has a review, and here's a pic of her.
