The Average Idea

Has been a while since I went around looking at great ideas. But just moment ago I found Average Idea that teaches you how to generate better ideas.

Smile.

What is this spam about?

I get tons of spam, but I’m still tempted to read them once in a while.

I don’t get why people send such spam.

mailed-by some domain

A page author can use them whenever and wherever they are needed.

The email header is even more interesting.

The mail came from Outlook Express from a .bx domain, sent to a mail server on a .eg domain and to my domain.

What is the point of this spam? A case of infected Outlook or there is more to it?

36521 Spam

Spam in my GMail36521

That’s how much spam I have in my GMail account. Amazing!

Recently I was puzzle about the irregularity of email from my blog. I did not receive notification of comments. So I looked deeper.

Accidentally I saw on a root email failure message that GMail is refusing mail from my IP because I was sending too much spam.So I went into my GMail and found 36521!

I was forwarding mail for my domain to GMail and then forwarded again to another GMail account which I read all the mails.

Looks like I have to do something about the spam situation. My domain is not at all that popular. I wonder how you guys handle spam?

Any suggestion on what I can do? SpamAssassin maybe?

Sorry for the late comment approval.

Just approved a few comments with some dating a month ago. Since using an offline blogging tool, I hardly sign into WordPress admin and didn’t notice the comment waiting.

Happened that I bought a new notebook (acutally was a used, traded in my HP) and have not installed BlogDesk. So I went in and found the comment wait.

Wonder why I did not get any email notification…

Site Preview with Snap.com

You may have notice that as you hover over a link on this site, a dialogue bubble pops up showing a snapshot of the link (Try it).

Snap.com provides that a little javascript that does the magic that you saw. You don’t even have to sign up.

Site preview with Snap.com

Thumbshots has thumbnail preview of sites for a long time (and I’m sure there are many more). These (Web 1.0?) sites should have made it as easy to include thumbnails for user to include into their site. But I guess they stopped innovating and Snap came in. A case of doing something simple, better.

It would be interesting to see Snap.com’s revenue model.
