De-Spam

I’ve already spent a good 30-45 minutes going through all the spam that my boss collected over the weekend. She seems to get more than most folks here, or at least seems more irritated by it, so I tried to go through it all and come up with some Outlook rules that will make things a little bit better. I think, given the inordinate number of emails for online prescription drugs, that the keyword filters I’ve put in place should definitely help matters. We’ll see. It was definitely a situation to note for moving to Outlook 2003 with it’s built-in spam blocking tools, but that’s a discussion for a later time, by far.

Not exactly how I wanted to start my Monday morning though, weeding through spam! Let’s hope the rest of the day is better, especially since it’s time to run all those month-end reports!

I was filtering out everything with MVDAY, a hash tag being used to enter a local contest. The contest gives you a chance to “Tweet”…

    Check out Ev’s new blogtoy. Seems to me there’s a big difference between someone calling you an “egotistical twat” in the comments, and splattering it right there in the middle of your blog! I think I’ll pass. 🙂 (That particular comment will probably be overtaken by the time you read it, but trust me, it…

  • 20 hours later

    So I got here this morning, and our internet connection was still down. The nice folks at the phone company did get it working just before 9AM, approximately 20 hours or so after they did something to cause the problem to begin with. Now everyone can get back to online shopping, online banking, sending personal…
