These web sites should be put in the dog house or sent back to obedience school
A conversation overheard in my inbox as Thuunderbird chomped through the latest flux of meaningful email: Filters: “Smell that?… Do you smell that?” InBox: “What.” Filters: “Spam, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that… I love the smell of spam in the morning… Ya know, that gasoline smell… It smells like… victory.” Just […]
Dredged from combing the junk filter folder is evidence that shows some folks have been spamming since 1938, which would be long before Al Gore’s father handed down that Internet idea to his boy: Wow, that old spam sure smells bad! It’s a good thing Thunderbird can spot it from a mile high.
My wife rightfully chided me the other night for a junior high school habit of issuing a loud yell of “bulls***” at the same time I sneeze. I have almost the same reaction when I read cruft like “Free Website Content – The Future of RSS is Not Blogs”– the claim being the majority, the […]
Just by publishing this gack, the Chronicle of Higher Education shows its speaks with an accent of digital immigrants. “So Dr. Brontosaurus, it is 10 minutes before the end of the Jurassic Period, what are you going to do?” “Nothing… why should I?.”
I am in pain. This hurts. There is a telephone conference blabbing on my desk, and I am ignoring it. This is a technology project coming out of a large organization we are members of, and I have been tapped to be our system’s rep. It is aiming to create yet another searchable archive of […]

Borrowing again on my vast array of literary resources, paraphrashing from 1979’s Steve Martin’s The Jerk: Navin C.D.B. Johnson: The new spam book’s here! The new spam book’s here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! Casino, Pills, and Porn links in my blog! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start […]
Here in the Phoenix area, the housing industry is booming with the roll out of these new “master planned communities”. Physically, these communities are surrounded by high walls and require passing through a security gate to enter, and individual back yards are each walled off. So it looks like Apple Digital Campus Exchange is extending […]
Robin Good asks, “RSS Ads: Should We Push Unrequested Advertisements Into RSS Pull?” No commentary needed here. Nope. Nada. Go away.
Just short of 3 weeks converted from my old MovableType blog to this new one running WordPress, and I got my first slice of comment spam. Ewwww, it is pretty smelly, but it just slide easily off the moderation queue into the dung heap. I’ve waited to implement more WP anti-spam plugins, waiting to see […]
