Things that make you go hmm..

The President of my workplace just sent me an email with a dirty picture in it. *L*

Actually he was forwarding a porn spam that he got, asking whether I thought it would be a good or a bad idea to hit the “unsubscribe” link. I just spent 10 minutes telling him, in the most diplomatic way I could think of, “NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!”, and then explaining that while our ISP does have spam filters and bad word filters in place, they will never catch 100% of all the junk email that’s out there.

I probably should have added that the next time he feels the need to forward that sort of thing to me, or anyone else, he could delete out the image. On the other hand, even if I considered that to be a somewhat technical violation of our email use policy, who am I going to report him to? 🙂

    I ask you, is having your pseudo-ISP inform you that they’re switching all their email filtering stuff over to Postini, and that you have until the end of this short week to not only understand what that means, but get used to handling your own anti-spam and quarantine settings and teach everyone on staff about…

    While I don’t have the time to do every page, because the navigation bar will probably be slightly different when you’re on different pages, I did manage to put together a little test of what the static pages are going to look like here. The blog will probably end up with something like that at…

    Remember this from the other day, and remember how I said: “It’s anonymously authored, and that’s probably a good thing, since some people really do take themselves too seriously. 🙂 ” Now there’s proof of how right I was. Good grief people. You would think having anything bad to say about blogging or any blogger…

    More reading on using networking as part of your job search. I’ve been reading a book about networking and going through all the self-awareness practices myself lately, so this is timely stuff. (BTW, another great use for OneNote, keeping all my notes and exercises on networking and self-awareness together in one section of the program..)…

    Got an email yesterday about a shareware news aggregator called InfoSnorkel. It looks fairly interesting, seems that it will allow you to make our own feed of just about any page, and put your feeds into categories, ala an Outlook Express-type interface. I guess it’s got some potential, but I won’t be doing a full…
