  70. It appears that the reason the First Tech Federal Credit Union&apos;s website wouldn&apos;t accept my email address is because the representative I had talked to in person had changed the domain of my email address to <code>y.st.com</code>.
  71. She did this because her system was being idiotic and refused to allow the <code>y.st</code> domain be used for email addresses.
  72. As she was unable to fix it on my end, she deleted my email address from the account entirely.
  73. If she couldn&apos;t use my real email address, but was able to use no address, why didn&apos;t she do that? Once I got home, the website still would not accept many valid email addresses, but I compromised and found one that it did accept and was at least at my domain.

  76. Before I left the credit union, I asked if they have a branch in Coos Bay.
  77. She said that they do not, but that I can access my money through another credit union that has &quot;shared branching&quot;.
  78. I had heard of this before, but had forgotten that it was a thing.
  79. I&apos;ve never used it, so I guess this will be a chance to learn something new.
  80. I also asked about the higher-interest account, and she said that the people who can set that up in-branch are out sick.
  81. She said I could set it up myself online though.
  82. I found that the site is a pain in the neck to navigate, but I managed to eventually put in the request for the higher-interest account.
  83. It is not pending approval.

  86. I think having people to talk to that speak Esperanto will help me learn faster.
  87. But how can I talk to people in real time? The obvious answer is to use <abbr title="Internet Relay Chat">IRC</abbr>.
  88. I found four networks with Esperanto channels, but all three have stupid <abbr title="The Onion Router">Tor</abbr> blocking set up.
  89. I can connect to them.

  92. I worked on graphics for Minetyst a bit more.
  93. Assuming nothing unexpected happens, I should have a basic working game at some point.

  96. My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
