So, I spent the time to check my post-by-email configuration. And last night I sent two post-by-email posts.
They were eaten. Whole. I saw no replies this morning to either so I managed to worm in through a very annoying anonymizer service that defeats the blocks in the proxy here but at the expense of trashing the layout, and the posts just are not there, even to me. Fortunately, since they were posted by email, I have a record of them. But that does mean that apparently the post-by-email trick is out. They aren't here, I got no error message back from LJ, they were formatted as best I can tell legally - thus, post-by-email apparently I cannot use.
So far, things are going good other than the LJ frustration. I have finally found both of the libraries around here. The one in Seaside was shown as being right on 101, and indeed it is - but the sign faces the cross street. I have not stopped there yet. The one here, is tucked back down a side "alley" that is only walkable, not driveable! It's only open from 1-5 pm, too. I will stop by later today and see if they have 'net but I am rather dubious about the chances of this.
Otherwise, I think I'm just going to go on writing things in my paper journal and sort it out when I get home, as the frustration of being blocked here and then having post-by-email (which should have worked beautifully once I confirmed the setup, no?) fail is a bit much to keep beating my head on. :)
And the anonymizer is...not cool to try to use this site through. It disabled the drop-down menus so I had to meander thru the FAQ to get to the update page. Amusing, but really....
