Server transition: Expect delays

Sweet fancy Moses, it looks like there's an end in sight for our server woes. Sometime today, the technically gifted elves at A2 Web Hosting will be pushing this enterprise over to a hotrodded new server with more CPU, more disk space, more bandwidth, and cup holders that are ample for a thirsty family of eight.

Is my Address Book missing something?

Hi all,

Glad to be a part of this community.

I was reading the following post: http://www.43folders.com/2007/08/20/purging-infopoor-entries-address-book

And when I came upon the last critria: "IM Username," I realized I didn't have that in the drop down list of my Addressbook. I'm running AddressBook 4.0.5 on 10.4.10

I even tried adding a custom field labeled "IM Username" thinking that it would populate the filtering drop down menus, but no such luck.

Am I missing something, or just blind to something so simple?

Thanks!

-Sal

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
