spam-thing-update. overnight mail filtering left me with a message from randall, some work and some news. there was one to message that turned up unrecognized spam, 9 more had already been recognized and i had then selected and confirmed in less than the time it took to drip-make a single large cup of coffee.
the one spam out of 10 that got through overnight is just the first one like it. to deal with it i'm adding _spambin as a mail-folder. i already have _spam in which all incoming and recognized spam winds up.. along with all the outgoing spam forwards to spamcop and sonic. its an in/out box for spam. _spamcop, the second _spam-thing folder was introduced yesterday to hold spam-cop 'job-tickets' until i process them with a manual filter which activates forwards and moves them to the _spam spot. _spambin is new. i will drag to/cc'd spam into it from the 'ax@' to/cc mailboxes placed two lines below. should be easy.. but its a third mailbox. and one i have to manage from the external helper program entirely - to generate attachments and spam-reports queued in eudora.. that's why i have to have it - no way to trigger that from inside eudora. has to be a files controlled from outside. in this case the message will disappear from _spambin and i'll have to include its text in the file getting the attachment to have a copy of it in _spam at all. rewrote the spam-thing code yesterday to chissel out proper flow and provision for built-in defaults, ini-file and commandline provided values. first thing that now happens internally is that paramstr(1) puts one exe into different tracks, initializing different values from the commandline. the values default to values from an ini file which default to {$} conditional enabled constants. params can be /to= named or positioned. that was a sweet 100 lines. the spam processing is 175 spacious lines right now. on to add a 3rd track. of course there is the potential that this all exists perfectly in eudora 5. i'm using 4.3. its almost perfectly in the background now. umm except for three visible mailboxes :) they could go in a folder. oy wey

What the hell happened? Top Ten Things You Need to Know About Enron: "What follows is an imaginary conversation, intended as a kind of primer -- not only ten things you might want to know about Enron, but ten things that bear repeating about Enron. Enron's collapse is symptomatic of a deep-seated disease. All of our retirements are at stake." AlterNet [Follow Me Here] | ||

The Trouble With Self-Esteem. Slater hints at a broader theme -- that impaired self-esteem may in fact be in general healthier and more 'normal', that inflation of self-esteem may in fact be a root of behavioral and emotional problems. Readers will recall I've written before on the notion that depression may be a more realistic way of seeing things, closely akin to this notion. It is not a novel idea; the inventor of modern psychology a century ago knew it too. Witness Freud's oft-quoted pronouncement that the aim of psychoanalysis was not to turn unhappy people into happy ones, but rather to turn neurotic unhappiness into plain old ordinary unhappiness. In psychotherapetutic work, we get into trouble when we try to preserve our clients' self-esteem as an end in itself. People are good enough without our help at defending against the painful-self-examination that is necessary for successful change, and I am fond of saying that, in therapy, one must expect to "feel worse in order to do better."
