We received a few complaints about missing updates. I looked into it and found that the email notification system broke a while back; probably when I upgraded WordPress. It should be working again now and you’ll have bit of sunshine in your Monday morning spam. All of you on the subscrition list that only read when you get something in your inbox should go back and see everything you missed. You can always see all the posts in reverse chronological order at the root page (sv-timemachine.net). It only shows 5 posts at a time, but you can keep going back by hitting the little previous button in the lower left corner.
Speaking of spam, I finally followed through on some advice Brad gave me some months ago. Have gmail pop all your mail from your spamy accounts and forward it back to you somewhere else. Actually, gmail now supports pop and imap so you can even skip the forwarding part. The spam is just gone. I love it. Google is evil! Google is great!
I’m hoping you mouse over the image.

FYI you can do the google spam trick with the same account with some .procmailrc magic:
# bounce mail to gmail and back
:0
* !X-Forwarded-For: me@gmail.com me@mydomain.com
{
:0fw
| formail -IDelivered-To
:0
! me@gmail.com
}
…and configure gmail to forward all mail to me@mydomain.com. This lets you search your mail in gmail, which is nice, but also means that the man can do the same.

Well, as usual I don’t understand a word of Sage’s comments. But…I love putting my mouse on the bridge picture and watching it turn to technicolor. The bridge looks like a gothic cathedral. –Mom
