Greetings from the I.T. Depatment at the HSFC Data Center, hidden deep inside a non-descript concrete building somewhere in the 89511 ZIP Code. For security reasons, of course, we can’t divulge our exact location even though armed security is two cats are on patrol 24/7/365. We were formerly based in the abandoned outhouse at Rosaschi Ranch but were forced to move when we realized we had no electricity or telephone service.
Now for the important stuff…
We’re channging the the way we capture email addresses for our active club members. Up until now, we’ve manually added folks to the Web site’s database. The problem with this method is that we actually don’t know if we’ve got the address right until someone complains that they’re not receiving our emails. So, we’re changing things up a bit.
You’ll notice a subscription form on the right side of the menu just below the USGS stream flows. Please take a minute to enter your first name, your last name and your email address. Then, click the ‘Subscribe’ button. You’ll quickly receive a confirmation email; you’ll need to open it and click the confirmation link contained within. And, bingo, you’re done – the entire process takes about two minutes (about the same amount of time it takes Liz to tie 10 woolly buggers).
To those of you that receive your newsletter via U.S. Mail: Previously, we’ve been able to withold the newsletter notification back from you. We can’t do that any more, so you’ll get that email once a month. Don’t worry, though – your newsletter will still be delivered by Uncle Sam.
So, thank you for your time, and please take a couple of minutes to sign up. Should you have any questions or problems, please feel free to email admin@hsfc.us (a.k.a. Ken Bladwin). Or, you can chat with me at the dinner Saturday night – I’ll be the good looking guy behind the bar.
