  Geometry Explorations

  This note describes a method for fixing Thunderbird when it hangs while indexing.

  I'm posting this in case it's useful to folks and for my own reference. It took me a quite a while to figure it out.

  So you have been using Thunderbird for your email for a while, on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and so on, for let's say a couple of decades. If you copy your profile around much, you are bound to hit an indexing issue where Thunderbird is unable to index your archives. You open up Activity Manager and it helpfully reports:

  Indexing 32 of 14243 messages in Archives/2002-2020/2016

  Read on for the fix.

  Geometry Explorations

  This note sets up a series of related notes pertaining to my explorations in Geometry and by extension, Maths.

  The explorations are my work in trying to make sense of the world through math. They are presented here, in part, to motivate me to express my thoughts in a more organized fashion than I might otherwise, and in part to share in the hopes that some small few might benefit or wish to chat about things.

  So, enjoy and if you do, feel free to email me about it.

  Will's Geometry - A Setting Out.

  This is a note where I begin to develop my own geometry based on the example of Euclid, but with an eye towards addressing its shortcomings - what hubris?! But seriously, I'm pretty sure my geometry will pale in comparison. The purpose of the exploration is not to show off, but to learn more about the world and in this regard, will be interesting and educational.
