Blackberry season. Knew it would be good: experienced late rain + steady moderate heat. Thus, masses of white blossoms appeared in June. And in July, the bushes are packed full of fat fat fat succulent berries.
The family and neighbors get out there and pick on a clear quiet day and consume some significant portion. We return to a hot kitchen to combine and concoct vast pots of steaming boiling hot crushed berries, with bags of sugar into the most pungent jam this side of eternity, as well as a succulent pie or 2. A few recipe modifications must be made, but other than that, all is well.

Getting your address book out of the SmartZone! |
|
Sunday, 07 June 2009 |
How to undo the export snags and get your address book out of the Comcast SmartZone.
I'm offering some free instructions here, if you're dying to avoid the typical potholes.
I just exported the SmartZone address book and imported them into Gmail, and there were some problems, which I'm documenting here.
-
Go into your "SmartZone" account, and then select the last tab -- "Preferences".
- Then scroll down to the Import/Export section, and pick "Comcast Contacts" and click the Export button. You are exporting your address book as a ".csv" file.
- I already knew the .csv file would be invalid, from multiple
complaints I'd seen on the message boards (which I'd reproduced when
trying to import the GMail format -- which input "empty" names). So I
opened it in "TextEdit" on the Mac to fix it before importing it. I
opened it and saw something like this were the first 2 lines [edited
out real info]:
"email","firstName","lastName","middleName","workemail1"
"","John","Doe","","
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
"
- I could see the .csv names were mixed up, so I switched "workemail1" with "email" to read:
"workemail1","firstName","lastName","middleName","email"
"","John","Doe","","
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
"
- Then open Gmail and go into "Contacts" (last in the left hand list starting with "Inbox).
- On the upper right menu, click on "Import" and select the file.
Everything went IN, and Gmail even cleaned up some duplicates... I
thought I'd save you the trouble of our half hour of bumbling through
the complaint forums, and the mishaps with the .csv file. This solution should work for othe major mail clients. The main problem is with the mixed up field names in the .csv file.
P.S., if you don't know anything about .csv files, just have someone
you know fix the file for you -- it will take that person 30 seconds if
you just tell them the field names are mixed up.
