(Please don't interrupt the mine discussion)

Erm, I know that the email is fine because I have tested it on mine own account. But I have no idea if I'm sending it to the right list! There are a bunch of queries lying around on the db that I've cobbled together - they want members and students. So I've started with the members and practices query, deleted the practices and stuck in a union with the students query.

There's no reason that shouldn't work. But knowing this system... I'm sure something will go horribly wrong with it! Like the Members query won't actually be a members query, but every damn person in the DB or something. It is filtering for various things that I am assuming are taking out DNC persons. I hope.

xpost: I read that too.

The film was set in both working and abandoned mines - I assume from that page that the Ding Dong mine was the one they used for the working mine scenes. The abandoned-and-haunted mine is annoyingly, the one that the writer of that page had forgotten the name of. "On the north coast" fits, though.

Kate: aah ok, I see what you mean. I've had problems like that before too.

(The descriptions I can find of Ding Dong's location are a bit contradictory, but none of them are on the coast)

It's all gone horrible wrong. Of course.

And because I changed two lines of code (which I commented out with my initials and the date on so I could change it back) it looks like I broke it.

it is supposed to be sending out batches of 350 emails each in the bcc field. Instead of doing that, it is only sending out an email every 350 records. ARGH.

That sounds like a better way for it to fail though, could have gone the other way and each member gets 250 mails.

AAARRRGGGHHHH. You are right, that would be even more nightmarish.

I have made my colleague take a look at it. He now thinks that I broke it. :-(

I told him before I did it, that I didn't know what I was doing, and I was essentially just poking it with a stick.

Oops. It was me that broeked it after all. It was then me what fixed it.

GOING OFFLINE FOR A WEEK??!?!?!?

My god, I might actually get some work done.

not now thanks to ed.
Now you just need to get AIM and chatz with everyone

Hurrah I can finally changed my name!

I didn't get any more work done than usual after all. Hey, I gotta investigate this name changing business.

Will it show who people *really* are, as well as who they are claiming to be?

(Not that this helps with all those people who chose utterly random names I still can't recognise.)

I thought you might
