Twitter Weekly Round Up for 2009-12-06

SPAM

We all hate SPAM. I always wonder who pays to send it as no one reads it and it seems such a waste of resources.
It would seem a lot of people are linking to cloudmark which sounds like a good use of p2p technology – much better than music swapping anyway. The only problem is I don’t get SPAM anymore as I use mailwasher already. I don’t need to download the mail before deleting and rejecting it and it links into the major DNS SPAM databases with the option to add custom ones too. This means I ‘bounce’ mail I know to be SPAM – I can preview it first to be sure. I delete it directly off the server with no need to download it first. Your email address gets removed from active email lists and you get less and less SPAM in the process.

mixed day – the DNS

mixed day – the DNS problems sorted themselves out- with relief. I think I may have just been being impatient. Got invited to scally’s to finish the haggis next wednesday. Did lots of house type stuff washing and the like. Went out for a long walk with Jack as it was a lovely day. Met Spence and Abi for drinks and had a generally pleasant day. Realised how completely lost I would be if I had to move into a smaller flat now that I have become accustomed to so much space. I remember when I was in one room and how I coped with so little space. All my books in boxes – which I know to some people is the only way to keep books [foms] – all my other stuff stored at my parents.
panicked that there is less than a week until the party now and I have nothing prepared yet, the following week-end I am at Eurodisney and the I am off to Singapore and Sydney – it is all happening so quickly. Shouldn’t complain – I’ll make sure I get plenty of aspirin though for the flight to oz.
