I feel like an email cross-dresser – I use a Microsoft product on my Apple product to access my Google product.
I get a lot of email, so if you’re sending me an email, if you want to rise above the clutter, put something on it: say, ‘Hey!’
My readers – and I get 400 emails for a day, my readers normally they say, well, you understand me, and I answer, you do understand me also. We are in the same level.
I can never fully switch off given my work, but laying on the beach replying to a few emails on my mobile is much better than being stuck in the office.
I work really hard. My daughter asks me what I do, and it’s mostly calls, emails, and meetings. We have our office in Hayes Valley, a nice part of town, because we’re all about place being important.
Email did precisely what I predicted, back in 1978, it took over the postal mail process and system of writing letters.
We have a presidential candidate who’s deleted emails and done things illegally and is a presidential candidate. That doesn’t make sense to me, because if that was any other person, you’d be in prison. So what is this country really standing for?
I know that my cell phone in Iran… is bugged, and they listen in, and my emails, I’m sure, are monitored inside Iran. They have my email address; it’s not like they can’t snoop on it.
When email and the Internet came along, I never publish an email address. I just stuck with this P.O. Box address.
Debt collectors should not be able to call, email, or text you to the point of harassment.
Broadband connections allow us to access more robust types of content, services, and applications – video chat versus email, or live streaming versus chat, for example. Yet if we look beyond our own personal use, we can see that broadband Internet access is not merely a convenience: it is a powerful force for social change.
While most of us have long understood that privacy is a fading commodity, something in human nature still expects that a phone call or email is a closed communication, and we tend to behave as though it is. That behaviour is what the electronic spies count upon, and want to preserve.
Think about spam filters; if email didn’t come from someone that someone you know knows, that’s an important signal, and one we could embed in the environment; we just don’t. I just want the world to be filtered through my social graph.
When I got my first email from a record label, I decided I didn’t want to go in with just one song, so I sat down and kept on writing.
I’m very detail-oriented, which is good and bad. Because I will wake up in the middle of the night thinking about something or seeing a mistake, thinking about it, and I immediately send an email – I’m very focused on details.
Skimming is fine for our emails, but it’s not fine for some of the important forms of reading.
My humble request to journalists – It only takes one phone call or an email to check facts.
I am at home with my kids from 6 to 8. If I have a work dinner, I’ll schedule to have dinner after 8. But we’re working at night. You’ll get plenty of emails from me post-8 P.M. when my kids go to bed.
Alongside my ‘no email’ policy, I resolve to make better use of the wonderful Royal Mail, and send letters and postcards to people. There is a huge pleasure in writing a letter, putting it in an envelope and sticking the stamp on it. And huge pleasure in receiving real letters, too.
It may be well possible that phished passwords ended up being used at Sci-Hub. I did not send any phishing emails to anyone myself. The exact source of the passwords was never personally important to me.
Anyone I don’t know, in my emails or texts, I just delete. If it’s someone legitimate, they’ll send it again.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been writing an article only to get distracted by an email notification, either on my laptop or smartphone.
When topics are complex and meaty, don’t create a never-ending email thread. It’s amazing how much time people waste composing and reading carefully-worded essays, when a 5 minute in-person chat would resolve the whole thing.
Readers would email me and say, ‘Please write a novel about so-and-so,’ but it has to come from yourself and not so much from your readership.
In 1998, it was possible to make a big-screen romantic comedy about email. Yep, email – the same medium we often think of now as boring and even annoying.
In a world of iPads and emails, nothing has really changed in the theatre. You still get in an hour early, do your wardrobe, put an old pair of tights under your wig, and you have, ‘This is your call, Miss Jensen’. I got exhilarated by that.
Blogging is great, and I read blogs all day long. However, my goal is really to have a deep, meaningful discussion with people. For some reason, I’m able to accomplish this best via email.
The selfie makes us accustomed to putting ourselves and those around us ‘on pause’ in order to document our lives. It is an extension of how we have learned to put our conversations ‘on pause’ when we send or receive a text, an image, an email, a call.
At a time when the Post Office is losing substantial revenue from the instantaneous flow of information by email and on the Internet, slowing mail service is a recipe for disaster.
We’re now seeing email that people thought they had deleted showing up as evidence in court. You can’t erase email. As that becomes more commonly realized, people will be a little wiser about what they type.
I do try to schedule out the week and I do make sure that when I get home, I’m done. That’s when my emails can get really backed up because when I get home I need to be totally present for the kids.
But it’s true I hadn’t realised quite how much the discipleship of Jesus Christ would involve keeping up with email.
I’m close with my whole family, but it requires email and texting because they don’t all live nearby!
When writers stop to sharpen pencils or get up and make coffee to procrastinate, they still stay in their heads with their characters. But when you zip over to read email or check your Facebook page, you get zapped out of the fictive dream. It’s brutal on my writing.
The ‘sent’ folder of my email program is really my biggest inspiration and my biggest source of lyrics. That’s where I go to pick up a lot of the lyrics that I’m writing.
To use a word I never thought I’d apply to myself, I’ve sort of become a Luddite with regard to information. Where everyone else is getting their Twitter feeds from ‘The New York Times’ and their ‘Huffington Post’ emails, I live in a little bit of a bubble.
I travel pretty frequently, but a few things that are routine are going for a run, getting my green tea in the morning, and checking email… well, all the time!
I’m pretty much using media all day because my school is online. It’s sort of like homeschooling but also like going to real school – you log in and do all your work and email it to the teacher, and we have a teacher who oversees us on set.
I think sometimes when I sit down to write a song, it doesn’t come out naturally, but when you are writing an email to someone, especially if you are writing to a stranger, you write much more spontaneously, and it’s freer.
Social media is like a big trade-show. You get to network… you get to make friends and followers. But email is where those friends and followers become customers.
Take time to enjoy the flight – read a good book, watch a film, catch up on emails and sleep.
I’m exceptionally email un-savvy, so to reply to my emails is like a torture. It’s like literally, half of all my emails, I get my secretary to type out for me. And the personal ones, I avoid and just pick up the phone and call them.
For email, the old postcard rule applies. Nobody else is supposed to read your postcards, but you’d be a fool if you wrote anything private on one.
Speaking of trust, ever since I wrote this book, ‘Liespotting,’ no one wants to meet me in person anymore – no, no, no, no, no. They say, ‘It’s okay. We’ll email you.’ I can’t even get a coffee date at Starbucks. My husband’s like, ‘Honey, deception? Maybe you could have focused on cooking. How about French cooking?’
I think it’s a violation of user privacy to continue storing email addresses if you tell users your service is shutting down. I sign up for a service, and if you’re no longer providing that service, why should you keep my information?
It always starts with a script. I like to have plenty of time to read something, and I always like to read a paper copy. I hate reading it on email. I sit down with a script, and want to see how it hits me. It’s an instinctive process.
A lot of times, people send me emails, and then I forget about them, or I never respond to them, or I respond to them weeks later.
By the time people came to realize that free, Web-based email was indeed a hot idea, Hotmail was adding 1 million new subscribers a month.
I find web browsing, checking multiple email accounts, and Google mapping rather tiresome on an iPhone – the iPhone’s native interface, for all its supposed perfection, has all kinds of wrong baked in – and the screen is just far too small.
It’s always nice when you see an email in your inbox that says ‘offer,’ then you read the email and go, ‘Oh, okay. Who’s doing it, what’s it about?’
Immortality Device has been tested and researched by medical researchers all over the world from time to time. They email me and told me what they found. I post their results sometimes on my site.
