"Spam is not a part of Ezysend's marketing objectives.... The company actually has an anti-spam policy, Gibson said—even the full-time marketing manager's employment contract contained an 'anti-spamming clause', which was the basis for his termination."
"While it may seem to overburdened recipients that spam is generic and random, spam fighters do see a holiday shopping theme. Vircom has seen an increase in high-tech gizmos being touted as presents, while Audiotrieve says spam for radio-controlled mini cars tops its list of uninvited holiday gift promos."
"Perhaps this will be one of the redeeming virtues of spam, that buried in the filth and lucre are some gems of ingenuity and creativity. But don't count on it."
"Under changes to its Acceptable Use Policy, BigPond company will investigate cable and ADSL Internet customers sending more than 20 e-mails in a 10-minute period."
Your dominant hues are blue and magenta. You're the one who goes to all the parties but doesn't quite fit in at every one... you know what you want, but are afraid of what the world might think of it. You're a little different and that's okay with them, and if you're smart it's okay with you too.
Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don't be afraid to run out and make things happen.
Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.
§ - How to lose customers: Like we don't get enough crap from telemarketers in real life, now Craftmatic Adjustable Beds has that horrid tv commercial featuring a telemarketing call. Let's add that product to my list of things I won't ever buy on principle. (The bed's probably just the thing I need to cope with both breathing and back problems, but I'll never find out for sure now...)
§ - Whoops! Here's another one that's gotta go. No, won't stop reading the blog but every time I refresh my aggregator, all the entries from the front page are there again—two or three times!—not even with a new entry at the top. Enough already! I seldom have time to get through everything that shows up in the aggregator anyway so I have very little patience with endless repeats.
§ - Prayers to Mecca Delay Flight - Would the reaction have been the same if it had been a group of Christians praying?
The most exciting bit of yesterday was when the plane landed, and as soon as it stopped moving they turned the plane's electrics off. It was dark outside, and raining, and the passengers moved through the plane by the light of their mobile phones (not sure who had the idea first, but in a pitch-dark plane the phones gave enough light to see by). Climbing down, by the tail, I could smell burning and there were a number of airport firefighters pulling up, so I suspect the landing was much more exciting for the crew than for the passengers.
People tend to fantasize about running into this or that old flame what would happen, would sparks fly? But ladies, some advice. Wait until after the funeral. It's called timing.
