1. Classmate suggests a company use ‘a little screen hooked up to a dsl line to push promotions to customers’. Didn’t mean TV or PC. Amazed.

  2. MailChannels | Anti-Spam Blog: An update to the email standards

    The SMTP RFC’s have been replaced! A few things from the list caught my eye:

    • No spaces are permitted after or before the ‘mail from:’ colon.
    • 587/submission is back in play and recommended
    • Lots of striked-out garbage
    • Post DATA 550’s!

    The previous RFC on all but the ‘mail from:’ items have been ignored by most sysadmins for security reasons.

  7. Italian friend: No Internet? Want me to run yoa phone? You could dial up your 56k and use what is it? Goofer? Me: gopher? Him: Yes, goopher.

  8. Doing REDACTED with REDACTED at REDACTED. Whoa! Look at that load average REDACTED good thing REDACTED doesn’t know about this

  9. Repeat: I can tell it’s election season because pot holes on East Fayette Ave are getting filled. Yeah, we should re-elect these guys!

  10. @commonwombat help the rest of us understand your one-man Genovese Syndrome: leave bait (erasable spray paint?) and take pictures.

Pizza Slow (high quality)
