There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system.

Thunderbird 3 →

They finally have the feature I was looking for. Similar to my blackberry, I just have to enter my address and password and Thunderbird sets it up. This is the way a mail client should work.

Finally, a tiny shred of relief →

So, its about damn time there is a backup app for Tumblr. I could care less that it is an app, but what about an export feature? I have had to write up all of my posts in a word document of sorts and save them on my pc, before posting, so I had my own copy. Oh yes, did I mention, the app is still mac only, so guys, get on that, because I do not own a mac.

I really like Tumblr, but backup or export is a fundamental feature that should have been implemented from the start. I can understand that some people post near disposable content on here, and I am not questioning Tumblr’s data facilities ability for fail over, I am just saying, I feel a lot more comfortable with my own copy of my posts. That is all.
