If you’re looking for a really insulting and / or offensive eMail address or web site, look no further than datapimp email and hosting services. The original is still the best. *Note: I actually think anothermartiniplease.com is kind of cool. I don’t like martinis, though. Yech.

Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation

Posted and filed under rants.

I can’t possibly be the only one that’s received the ridiculous-but-oh-so-earnest spam from the alleged Dr. Sule Ibrahim, Director of Project Implementation for Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Let me know if you got it, too! We could start a little club! It would be ultra-secret, and you can only be a member if you received… Read more »

eMail Messaging

Posted and filed under rants, technology.

“It’s the interface, stupid!” I got in a discussion recently about text messaging on mobile phones. I don’t understand why so much money is being pumped into this concept.

It really bugs me that the Rules system in Outlook Express is so much better than the one in Outlook. Why would that be? Isn’t Outlook supposed to be the full-featured, super-duper version? Isn’t Outlook Express supposed to be the scaled-down, free version? I’m using Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6 at home and at… Read more »

Outlook Rules

Posted and filed under Software.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to modify the rules in MS Outlook 2000 with a text editor? The “Rules Wizard” is just too annoying for me. It can’t handle any sort of boolean statements and I hate the way it ‘sorts’ the ‘order’ in which it ‘processes’ the ‘rules’. I’ve been looking hither and… Read more »

Mememail

I love this. You probably won’t. I’m fascinated by memes. I’m fascinated by memes, urban legends, etc. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I fell for every single, “I knew this guy once …” story that Uncle Dic ever told me when I was a little kid. I have… Read more »
