pretty much says it all for me. As those who know me well will attest, my love of coffee knows no bounds, no limits  This picture is probably too true.

Seems it's been a week or two since I emptied out my spam folder and this morning I was greeted with this message:
spam folder full.jpg (17 Kb)
I have to say that on the whole I've been very impessed with www.spamnet.com[^] from Cloudmark. I can't help thinking that the feature they've put together, while very effective, is also pretty simple to implement and will undoubtedly be added to a future version of Outlook however.

I have to say though if you only need a Desktop SPAM solution that a software based system is great. In my opinion nothing beats hardware SPAM Firewalls to get rid of all the junk. I deployed a couple of Barracuda SPAM firewalls in parallel and SPAM have never even been thought of sense. The military liked Barracuda so much they are a licensed user as well.

LETS JOIN HANDS TO KEEP THE WORK OF GOD SUCCESSFUL.

My Beloved One,
I have a proposal for you,this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail,
I am Mrs mary Clement from Solomon Islands near Australia. I am married to Mr.William Clement from United States Of America who worked with American Embassy in GUINEE for nine years before he died in the year 2004.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $4.5 Million in a bank in AFRICA.
Recently, my DOCTOR told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Orphanage or good Christian that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a Church organization or good person that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians not even good at all because they are the one that killed my husband in other to have all my late husband properties and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace".
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank in AFRICA. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church,organization or good person for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
Please get in touch with me via E-mail:(clementmary@vipmail.hu)
Hoping to receive your response immedaitely.
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
Mrs Mary Clement

Well, after a year of seriously looking at them, I've picked up a Toshiba m200 Tablet PC. So far, I'm pretty impressed. The fit and finish of the machine is absolutely top notch and even that factor alone is making me very happy.
Tablet PC's offer a number of enhancements over standard laptops, such as a pen based system for mouse-like navigation, handwriting recognition, and voice recognition.
I do a fair amount of air travel these days, and so the form factor of the Tablet will, I think, actually improve my in-flight satisfaction. It's a royal pain when the guy in the seat in front of you reclines his chair into your beautiful 15" laptop display. It becomes pretty much useless.
The m200 has a 12" display, which I thought I was going to find really small, but in truth I find just fine. The resolution on the display is very high (1400 x 1050) so I can fit in everything I need.
I've played around with the voice recognition and handwriting stuff, and while I'm impressed with what it can do, it still doesn't replace my keyboarding as a preferred entry mechanism. I can see however if applications were more accepting of these alternate formats the whole thing would work pretty well I think.
The one really big thing however is the advancement in power saving technology. I've been working on the machine for 4 hours and it's telling me I have about 2 and a quarter hours of life left to go. When you go into the standard Windows XP power management utility to configure your preferences, a little warning box pops up from Toshiba imploring you to use their refined utility rather than bludgeoning their machine with the XP standard one. Theirs offers things like progressive display brightness depending on remaining battery life, and trade offs between processor speed (and therefore performance) and battery life. There's even a setting that allows you to reduce the power output of the 802.11b network if you're in the presence of a strong single from the base station. No need to broadcast more signal than you need. Nice.
I'm on day 3 and have yet to see something I'm not happy with. Fundamentally I don't have much expectation from voice recognition or handwriting analysis, so it would be hard to disappoint me there. The machine though, is beautiful and I highly recommend it.

I've spent the better part of the last three months negotiating a series of legal agreements, and it always amazes me just how finiky the work is, and how long it takes to wrestle through the negotiations and put everything on paper.
And, no matter how much effort, and how many reviews you put the documents through, you are never able to tie up all the loose ends. Amazing.
Sound like writing software and swatting bugs?
Lawyers aren't my favourite people in the world, but amazingly contract law doesn't seem to me to be all that different from software design. As I work on these agreements I find myself using the same logic skills, workaround skills and accumulated design skills that have served me so well historically in software development. I just find it curious.
As Troy Marchand in my office often says: when a software development project reaches 90% completion, you're almost half done. Feels exactly the same way pounding out legal contracts. 
If I see the "Would you like to merge xxxx.doc into c:\documents\xxxx.doc?" dialog one more time I might go postal.

Actually, that is the fact!
He who controls others may be powerful,
But he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

I totally agree. I just like hearing it in words. Kinda makes me feel like I'm not the only one going through that kinda stuff.
