I noticed that one of the throw-away email addresses I registered years ago for sony style product registration and accessories is now receiving spam.  Was sony compromised or did they have an insider sell their addresses?  Who knows…  I know that I didn’t give it out to anyone…

I have been wrestling with my dspam configuration on Ubuntu for quite some time and think I finally got it set up the optimal way. It took building a custom modern dspam package myself, with the help of a kind soul who built a custom package for Debian etch.

I just finally fixed my modified Vixburg style for Movable Type so that it makes use of wider browsers. Many times, quotes or pictures or preformatted text get chopped by the small center column. I tried for hours to get a decent 3 column layout where the center column will be fluid and take up as much available space as is there, to no avail. Best I could do was set 65% as the width and that does most of what I hoped for, at least for a 1280x1024. The true holy grail is at this site, but would require me building a whole new style to match kind of what I have using this as the base https://www.glish.com/css/7.asp The right column does not flitter away underneath the content as happens with mine when the page is sized smaller. *sigh*

I’ve been wondering this and noting that more and more products are coming wrapped in this stuff.  I use a tchochke that I got from Tripwire that has a tiny corner of a razor blade on it to open these packages, but even then, the cut plastic package is sharper than the razor.  I’ve cut myself on several occasions.  The unusual shapes of the packages doesn’t make it very easy to cleanly open either.

I’m trying this right now on Edgy Eft:

So, there happen to be these unwritten rules of style that change all the time that nobody seems to tell you about and it’s hard to ask and for many, harder to know you should ask. And there are people in the work world that do judge you by your appearance, for better or worse, consciously and unconsciously.  Here is some advice that I have culled from significant others, from experience and observation in the workplace, from the advice in Esquire, and even from What Not to Wear on TLC.

This is an article from a year ago that showed how each vendor was able to respond to key virus outbreaks.  They also show the data from the previous year.
