I get about a ton and a half of daily e-mail about my weblog. Oh, alright that is an exaggeration all those bytes do not weigh that much, but I do get a rather steady volume. Which is great, really.. I love hearing from people and it makes me feel all warm and tingly inside knowing that others actually read what I write.. and some appear to enjoy it (I have a number of a good psychiatrist to share, ring me).
Here comes the "but".. (You knew that was coming..).
I don't always answer my e-mail right away.. sometimes it takes me days, sometimes longer (weeks!) for a number of reasons.. often I'm just really busy. Which makes me seem rude, really I'm not trying to be.. I'm a horribly, terribly polite person.. I say "thank you" and "excuse me" on regular basis.. I'm just busy, alrighty?
Personal connection -- this is a bit odd to write, but I have to clear this one up. If i had a "personal connection" to every person that wrote me to say as much.. well.. I'm just me, one person.. that's all.. any connection to another person alive or dead is a pure coincidence and not intentional, unless it's intentional, then it's ok. Not that the dead write to me much.. but you never know, need to cover my angles. I'm sorry, but the only personal connection I'm feeling lately involves my powerbook and lots of typing.
So.. right.. thanks for writing.. and reading. If I haven't answered it probably was just that old lack of time everyone else uses as an excuse too. Sorry.

Same as you, although I have to dig through the "I'm worried about you [and what you said]" emails first to get to the people that actually liked some of my posts... and then a whole lot of tech support issues for the freeware I maintain. Ah, the perks of blogging!
I do admire "worried" emails though. I never thought I could impact the mass populous with fear.
Happy Holidays you and yours, too, by the way!
#Hey, Kasia--just wanted to chime in here an let you know I enjoy your site and read it regularly especially since I also live in CT and work as a programmer...and java at that :) I can relate....
I don't ever seem to have the time to post here or on dslr that often, but I try. The good blogs, like yours, are what motivates me to someday have my own.
Happy holidays!
#Kasia,
I understand. But I know I have written to you multiple times and have never recieved a response back. I thought you were just ignoring me. Glad to hear that you are busy.

Originally got to your blog quite by accident. It was so intertaining that I keep coming back. Your life's experiences are much more interesting than mine. That may be because I live high in the mountains away from the day to day shuffle (has its good points too).
#I imagine in 2005 you'll have to hire Kasia clones (yah right) to answer e-mail and blog..but other than that- I just wanted to chime in to say happy holidays Kasia. :)
#Hmm. I've always felt CT was a fairly geekless state. Although I like to make a distinction between geeks and 1337 h4X0rz and those who are "computer literate".
#Kasia clones? Hmmm... too many jokes... must resist... must not type... aaaaahhhhhhH!!!
