Welcome to Notely, the successor to my old tech-notes blog “Notepad.Exe”. Like
its progenitor, this site exists mainly for me to record tips and solutions to
unusual techie-type problems that I occasionally encounter and solve. That way
hopefully the solution will be ready to hand for anyone googling for solutions
to the same problems in the future. I accidentally deleted the original version
of this blog but was able to rebuild it thanks to the fact that the Wayback
Machine has [a snapshot of it from
2006](http://web.archive.org/web/20061105132534/http://notepadexe.blogspot.com/index.html).
All the old posts are here (with the original timestamps even!) - the only thing
is I couldn’t save all the comments from the previous posts. Posts are not
regular or frequent, but they are focused and (I like to think) well-written.
Even if it seems like I haven’t been here awhile, rest assured I’ll be back when
I have a new solution worth recording. Some of the more helpful posts, judging
by past feedback, are:

- Solution for [Windows Error: Directory or File could not be
  created](/posts/windows-error-directory-or-file-could.html)—Oct 31, 2006
- [Outlook 2003 - Warn if subject line
  empty](/posts/outlook-2003-warn-if-subject-line-empty.html)—July 1, 2005
