Call Me The Assassinator!

I’ve had it up to *here* (waving my hand high over my head) with spam. Spam, spam, spam. I went an entire weekend without checking my e-mail, and the following Monday I was greeted with over 300 spam e-mails. Augh! Enough.

Matt has been talking about how he is almost spam free, and he has the perfect system set up to rescue me from my spam. “Save me!,” I cried, over and over again. Step 1 was that I needed to finally set up Spam Assassin. (As soon as I know the rest of the steps, I’ll write up the whole process and share.)

I had to do something before I started getting e-mail from people that supposedly saw me at work like Jennifer. I’ve never used Spam Assassin before. I guess I was afraid it would kill all of my good e-mail too. Somethinig like that, doesn’t matter now. What matters now is that my spam is being “Assassinated”. Well, ok. That and the points.

Each spam e-mail is assigned points basied on the contents of that spam message. The higher the points, the more spammy that spam content is. So now, as I delete them, I keep track of which one is the highest point spam message. Right now we’re sitting at 40.20 points, but that could be beat out any day now! What’s your highest spam points? Do I get a prize for this if I win?

TAR4, After All…

Ok, I lied. I have things to say about TAR4, so I’m putting it in the extended entries so there aren’t any spoilers for anyone. Keep on reading!

Oh… Scary…

I am watching this week’s episode of TAR4 right now. I’m too tired to blog the episode this week – maybe later this weekend – but I was cracking up as I watched the opening sequence and had to share the moment.

The Amazing Race (“TAR”) always starts with a “in our last episode” segment. Then they show all of the teams that are in the race this season. As they finish showing the last team, they show a tiger from one of the earlier seasons. It’s roaring, throwing it’s paw out towards the camera. Oh… Scary! Right? Wrong. Those tigers were about the lamest things I think they have ever done on TAR. That split second of tiger footage was as ferocious as they got.

Hm. Maybe that just amuses me. Well, this is what happens when I work a 10 hour day… it’s all about the little things when I’m punchy and slap-happy!

I listened closely … did you hear it? Phil said, “Which team will be eliminated … TONIGHT.” Yes! I’m hoping that the bimbo chicks get tossed, but I’m sure I won’t be so lucky!

BPC Tunes…

Working hard, but I needed some background noise, some tunes to help me chill – so I’m listening to my Launchcast station. Want to join me listening to the BPC? Have a station of your own that I can listen to? Hook me up!

Stones Keep On Rolling…

Spotted in today’s Houston Chronicle:

In 1967, the Rolling Stones weren’t allowed to sing “Let’s spend the night together” on television because the words were too racy.

In 2003, the Sheraton hotel chain uses “Let’s spend the night together” as its slogan in cute television commercials.

Ironic, isn’t it? I found it amusing.

By the way – we’re getting a ton of rain right now in downtown Houston. Want to see? It’s pelting against my window, which is a sort of cool sound.
