36521
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?
Surfing this week mainly revolve around looking for new tools to stuff my new notebook.
Open source DTP: Scribus, just what I’m looking for.
Also looked at Spam filtering.
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…
This week’s find: localization applications, harddisk cloning (guess what I’m up to?), backup.
New notebook, new system install. It is good to start afresh.
I have an old Fujitsu LifeBook P2120 which I used now as a DVD player by connecting the S-video out to my TV. While was using it to play CSI today, I noticed the Transmeta Crusoe chip decal. I almost forgotten all about that.
Remember the secretive launch of Transmeta, much like the stealth Web 2.0 startups these day? Even Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, was on board.
Linus eventually left in 2003 and in 2005 announced they are getting out of chip business.
Is Transmeta out? Not quite. They were working on a secret project again, this time for Microsoft. The idea behind the project itself is very interesting.
7 years.
Too busy this week.
links for 2006-12-08
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.
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.
