Crap!!!

What am I to do?  Oh yeah, I will call AT&T/YAHOO , but wait I need to use the Internet to get thier support number!  Crap again..

Okay.. okay.. wait, let me go through a few steps first..

1.) Reboot my PC - nope
2.) Reset DSL modem and router - nope

Okay.. now time to find that paper bill (yes, I still get paper bills mailed to me) and find the toll free number there.

I didn’t get 1/2 through the phone menu until the connect was back up.

<gulp>

It almost felt as if I had lost a limb!!

Don’t get me wrong, I am not additicted , but since I have a small business and I post content on the main site , well I sort of need it.

First 28 Weeks Later Poster

28 Weeks Later, the follow-up to the terrifically successful 28 Days Later, picks up six months after the rage virus has annihilated the British Isles. The US Army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin. As the first wave of refugees return, a family is reunited - but one of them unwittingly carries a terrible secret. The virus is not yet dead, and this time, it is more dangerous than ever. Robert Carlyle, Harold Perrineau, and Catherine McCormack lead a cast of talented newcomers including Mackintosh Muggleton and Imogen Poots. Newcomer Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directs, while Danny Boyle, director of the first film, is an executive producer.

28 Weeks Later opens to theatres on May 11th.

Happy St. Pat Day!

I am a little late on this post -

My day has started at 8am and it is spring cleaning, which only means that eBay is going to get a small work out in the days to come.

Yahoo’ Spam Guard

Written by andy on Tuesday, March 13th, 2007 in Software.

This coming week, I will be testing out how Yahoo’ spam filter does in comparison to Gmails, stay tuned!

Update :
It would seem that Yahoo’ SpamGuard needs some training, so I am going give it 5 days of training, basically telling it which is spam and which is not, then I will start collecting numbers. I am not sure if I am going to like this, but to be fair, it is catching a good chunk.

Another Update:
I am not liking Yahoo’ spam protection, it would seem that the more that it is trained, the more crap I see in my inbox. I am going to keep going through the weekend and see if 2 more days makes a difference or not. Otherwise, I am back to using GMAIL as my spam stopper.

Last Update:
For the last week, I have been using Yahoo as a spam filter, training, training and more training with no noticable difference in the amount of spam that I was getting. As of today (3/13/2007) , I have switch back to GMAIL as my spam filter. GMAIL isn’t perfect, but the amount of labor is far less.
