... you're driving on the highway and you see a Jeep with yellow trim around its windows and you remark "that reminds me of the Wand tool in Opera".
We all suffer from high volume email deployment, but why can't these high volume email deployers at least provide a working opt-out link?
Even if that opt-out link immediately signs your email address up on hundreds of other high volume email deployment lists. Just give me the satisfaction or placebo of feeling as if I have actually accomplished something in the fight against high volume email deployment. For a personal victory if nothing else.
Dammit, I'm only one man, how much V1AGKRA can I use in a life time?
P.S. We all know how Halle Berry feels about dolphins.

After my late night of chitty chitty bang bang with Chica ended, I went home and did some channel hopping.
Who and/or what did I see on the tube that was interesting enough to waste your valuable reading time?
I saw this guy on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He was conducting some interview in full drag.
Uhmmm... that is all :)
One last thing...

It has been several years, or 100,000 KM since I last changed my transmission fluid, so I was right on schedule for tonights "Change the Transmission Fluid to Stay Away From the Computer" adventure.
I'm sick of sitting at the computer, so on my way home, JUST as Canadian Tire was closing, I quickly ran in to pickup some transmission fluid, a transmission fluid filter and for kicks... an air filter.
I know what you're thinking, "a transmission fluid filter?"
That's right, the plasic beast has its very own filter, much like the oil filter, specifically for the transaxle fluid.
To stall, I checked and cleaned my spark plugs as I noticed time was not flying quite as fast I had hoped for. So a test drive later and she is purring like a kitten. Of which I saw a bunch of at a Pet Store today. THEY WERE SO CUTE!!! I even saw a puppy that looked exactly like Mac did when he was younger.
MEMORIES...
Anyhoo, I think its about time that I get naked and rub myself all over. Then I might think of taking a shower too ;)

Maybe its voodoo.. possibly just bad luck. Whatever the case, thank the lord for my cousin Maui. If it wasn't for her extreme bad luck with computers, Bashtard.com Inc. would never have happened.
If her Celeron 400 had never gone fubar, I would never have had my very own fpos. That baby ran the web server for quite a while and was eventually converted into a mail server.
But.... just the other day I remembered I had ANOTHER one of my cousins old computers. The HP Celeron 700 had been sitting in my room for 1 maybe 2 years just collecting dust. I figured, why not try it out in place of the current fpos. Wouldn't you know... it worked GRRREAT!!
Now without spending a penny, fpos got a massive upgrade. Finally, a mobo that can support higher than PC-66 RAM. :)
I can't wait for the voodoo magic to corrupt my cousin's P4. That will make a SWEET server one day!!

We ALL know about hosting.bashtard.com because I have mentioned it in two previous blogs. But did you know that added to that Email Hosting service is SPAM and Virus protection as well?
Well now you do!
Thank our friends SpamAssassin and The Anomy sanitizer for their assistance.

I WAS gonna come on here and rant how grimm and I were almost not part of this earth anymore after a fucking retarded white trash moron with matching colour truck almost killed us at an intersection. Apparently going straight through an intersection on a green light is taboo in this retards world, to which he proceeded to yell at me about because I cut him off from making that ill-advised left turn that almost ended our lives.
Like I said, I WAS going to talk about that, but in process of getting ready to post that blog, I stumbled upon an old friend in the most odd of locations. In previous blogs I had mentioned my exploits on LavaLife, but I had not been there since. I received an email today welcoming me back to the site as I had not logged in for months, but included were 12 free tokens I could use to seal the deal. I decided to scan my preferred age range and found a profile (only 2 days old) of a 27 year old Italian woman. The face... it was the face that was totally unmistakable. I sent a message to confirm my suspicions, and I was correct. It was a woman I have known (known of) for 23 years. We started Jr. kindergarten together and finished High School together. We've decided that we want to talk out of the LavaLife scene, if anything, just to see what the other has been doing in the past 8 years since we saw each other last.
That was a very pleasant surprise, I must say. Very rarely do I ever run into people I knew when I was younger, but to run into them online is... indescribeable.

its around 9:30am this morning and I get a call from the provisioning chick from work.
Sounds interesting so far? Hold on for the climax (that's what I say to all the ladies)
I pickup the phone and say "hello"
REALLY?? HOLY SHIT, TELL ME MORE!!!
My brain said hello, but nothing came out of my mouth. My voice is totally gone. If I whisper I can get a few words out until that system fails as well.
This is totally unexpected... or is it really? Or is it that the lord is vengeful??
You can imagine the description I put for that pic! :)

It took less than 1 day of uptime to land my first Spammer douchebags. One was even blackholed.
Now the question arises. If I can setup an SMTP server within a day that IS NOT an Open Relay and blocks Blackholed addresses... how hard is it for these other IT dumbasses who get paid WAY more than me, to setup a server that blocks these Spammer douchebags?
Imagine how much Spam would be cut down if all SMTP servers would just refuse relaying to domains other than the ones they host.
Like seriously, what's up with that?
I've added the logs (to be a nerd) to at least expose 3 Spammer douchebags. Now if we could only get Mafia Boy on their asses to strike some revenge.

This dead body has created a news and police frenzy around my house.
I was interview by Galit Hasson of The NewVR. Questions ranged from "how long have you lived here" to "are you shocked at the number of deaths this year". Believe me, when you have a camera in your face and you answer "27 years" to the first question, you feel like quite the dumbass.
HEY EVERYBODY, I STILL LIVE AT HOME WITH MY PARENTS!!!
I was also kind enough to make her aware of a stray hair above her breasts, but noted "not that I was looking there or anything". This was PRIOR to being on camera!! :)
Then, Mac started to strut his stuff to the camera. Galit Hasson had already fallen in love with him, as she should, so they decided to get him on film. They filmed me throwing the ball and him chasing after and retrieving it. That's not the funny part. The funny part is HOW he retrieved it.
Normally, this is the procedure..
a. ball is thrown
b. Mac goes 100 Miles/hour* to chase it
c. Mac brings it back at 100 Miles/hour*
Not this time though. He apparently has taken film studio and/or acting class, because he knew how to shake his money maker for the camera.
The procedure went as follows...
a. ball is thrown
b. Mac goes 100 Miles/hour* to chase it
c. Mac slowly jogs back with the wind in his face, casually glancing over at the camera a few times on his way back to me
I broke out laughing watching him jog back to me and commented, "what a Made for TV dog". I guess I'm getting my 5 seconds, but he's getting the whole 15 minutes. What a guy!!
If you'd like to see myself and Mac in action, tune to VR News Live @ 6:00.
I also breifly spoke with Dwight Drummond of CityTV but declined further comment. :)
