Retiring My UmU E-mail Address
Just for the record: I’ve asked to have my e-mail account at Umeå University (@pol.umu.se) closed as I no longer work there and I have by now advised most contacts to use my personal e-mail address instead. So checking the umu.se-address in the last month has mostly consisted in emptying the inbox from spam.
I’ll expect to have an e-mail at the University of Southern Denmark up and running some time during September and students at Copenhagen University should be able to contact me through a ku.dk-adress in a couple of weeks’ time. When this happens, contact details will be updated accordingly.
Delicious Problem Update
Just a technical note on this: When del.icio.us updated its service, the automatic daily posting of links was broken (I wasn’t alone here: Eszter Hargittai suffered the same problem).
Out of pure desperation (oh, well…) I tried to edit and save the settings for the automatic posting at delicious.com (as the service is now known as) without changing the actual settings, and that seems to have done the trick. Except that the posting is now made at a different time of the day.
But you can’t have it all, can you?
Update: As you can see in the comments, this solution hasn’t worked for everybody. Strange.
Update update: There is a discussion about the issue at delicious’s forums and this workaround (for Firefox users) has been presented. No guarantees for the latter, though.
