SpamBayes

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005 @ 4:16 pm

So, after getting more and more daily spam in my main email inbox, I decided it was time to stop putting it off and get some kind of filtering software. After a few minutes of Googling around, I came across SpamBayes. It’s well reviewed, and works as an Outlook plugin, or under Linux (several options depending on how you’re retrieving your mail). Best part is — it’s free.

I have it running on Outlook and so far, so good. After initial setup, you “train” the software by telling it what emails are spam and which ones are ham (good). Once it’s schooled, it’s immediately around 90% effective in stopping junk mail (this is my guesstimate based on training the software with about 100 or so emails). As new undetected spams reach your inbox, just select em and click the “Delete As Spam” button. This junks the messages and further trains SpamBayes. The more training, the smarter it gets.

The commercial MS Outlook spam fighting software, InBoxer, is based directly on the SpamBayes code — check out the great reviews..

Plastic Deer Threatened In City Hunt

Monday, September 26th, 2005 @ 12:53 pm

Paragraph of the month [and it’s not from The Onion]:

“My decorative doe, Felicity, had an arrow sticking out of her hind quarter,” Orval Pussywillow of Hunter’s Park complained yesterday. This has got to stop. We paid good money for our beautiful deer.” Pussywillow said his four plastic pink flamingos and a lawn ornament depicting the posterior of a fat woman bending over were unmolested.

So much comedic value.. I’m not sure what’s funnier — some redneck calling a plastic deer a “decorative doe”, referring to said plastic deer as a “her” and mentioning its “hind quarter” like it’s alive, the fact that the guy’s name is “Orval Pussywillow”, or the whole thing about unmolested flamingos and a “lawn ornament depicting the posterior of a fat woman”. Fantastic stuff…

Widgets

Sunday, September 25th, 2005 @ 10:04 pm

I’ve been hearing a lot about these “widget” thingys lately. Always thought they were just some cool Mac thing we PC people didn’t get to play with. Well apparently Konfabulator brings them to PC and Mac alike. Haven’t checked any out yet, but definitely planning on it.

Konfabulator is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your WiFi signal strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols, and even give your current local weather.

What sets Konfabulator apart from other scripting applications is that it takes full advantage of today’s advanced graphics. This allows Widgets to blend fluidly into your desktop without the constraints of traditional window borders. Toss in some sliding and fading, and these little guys are right at home in Windows XP and Mac OS X.

40 Year Old Virgin

Holy crap!! This guy has an insanely incredible toy collection. And like the typical obsessed geekling, the majority are in unopened packages. His basement looks like a Toys-R-Us. Crazy!!! and kinda cool :)

Click image above for the full feed — it’s a bulletin board post with a TON of inline photos (broadband only! — scroll down a bunch for the pics) — or check out this gallery with thumbnailed links.

According to his post, he also has a wife — which is a major shocker!
