Hotmail getting better?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Mike Pope says something that I’ve been noticing too, the amount of spam that has been sitting in my Junk email folder at hotmail has gone way down. After getting back from our latest trip and being offline for 3 days, the junk mail folder had 14 messages in it. Not so long ago that would have been closer to 75-100. I still don’t use it for anything more than mail lists that I don’t want my real addresses given to, but it’s nice to know they’re actually improving the service!

    Here’s a novel idea for your non-technical friends, and one I just came up with while having a discussion with a coworker: So you have a friend who has an old PC and wants rid of it. They don’t want to toss it in the trash, obviously, they want to drop it at a recycling…

    I’ve been meaning to write about my time in Cleveland the past couple of days, but I just never seemed to find the time. On Thursday, had a great time spending the evening at the In The Trenches Cleveland Geek Dinner. It was late, very late, by the time I turned in for the night….
