infinity plus one

Perhaps the biggest number I could think of when I was, like, six years old.

(True: if you ask a mathematician, it's not really a "number." But when I was, like, six years old, I didn't give a flying fuck.)

(Also true: As soon as I said "infinity plus one," my buddy would cleverly outdo me with infinity plus two.)

You couldn't beat me, because I had my fingers crossed.

Yeah but I had all ten fingers crossed.

Yeah but I had all my fingers and toes crossed.

Yeah but I had infinity fingers crossed.

Yeah but I had infinity plus one fingers crossed. Ha ha ha ha ha!

test email

An email, usually very short, sent for the purpose of testing whether the email system is working. The sender's purpose may be:
- to find out whether the sender's outgoing email is configured correctly
- to troubleshoot the end-to-end connection between a sender and recipient

If the sender is able to find his solution with no response from the recipient, the test email will usually contain a terse instruction like "ignore this email."

If the sender needs a response from the recipient in order to complete the test, then the test email will say something like "let me know if you got this."

----------
subject: testing...

Did you get this?

----------
subject: test 2

please ignore - just a test - M
