blogger ate this post: about how SpamAssassin is a good idea (filters email based on accumulation of points via text analysis). It also uses Vipul’s Razor, a spam database, which is also a good idea (after all, most spam is the same message sent to a bajillion people).

Since AOL is doing their thing to Trillian again, I decided to go and install the nim.xpi for Mozilla. While I was at it, I also installed the spellchk.xpi spell checker. It’s very useful being able to installe the .xpi files seperately without being forced to actually use the POS known as ns6
This turns out to be a bad idea unless your moz version matches, as there’s lots of xpcom instability it looks like (unstable interfaces? what else is new in mozilla?) For spell checking, there is a spellchecker for 0.9.8…
Too bad there’s no xpi uninstall feature.
When I went to pull my car out this morning, I realized why it had taken me a bit more than usual of wedging to get in my parking space, as I had about 3″ of wiggle room.

I was thinking about how amusing OOG THE CAVEMAN was on /., but he seems have been obliterated from the records. There are references to him, but no posts show up in searches. OOG THE (Open Source) CAVEMAN was frickin hilarious. Ah well, life goes on.
U.S. Considers Military Action to Remove Skating Judges
Hey, forget the ice skating judges, we all know that the the Olympics is pretty much a sham nowadays. It has had anything to do with the human spirit or athletics or anything like that for quite some time now.
DENIM and SILK look like very interesting tools (Informal Tools For Early Stage Web Site and UI Design
). Should follow up.
Plant hackers have root access!
Speaking of funny, trust it to Microsoft to ‘innovate.’ One of their many firsts: Microsoft Instant Messanger Virus Sweeps Net – well, only if you’re dumb enough to be running MIM.
