Brain Butcher

Lately I’ve received annoying spam especially on my business email account. By the end of November last year I would receive about 20 to 30 a day… So I’ve set up a spam filter on my mail server not realising it was set so tight that some people who tried to send me emails had them bounced. Can you imagine you’re throwing a party; there’s a room full of people chatting, loud music and then all of a sudden silence, total silence… what a pleasure you think at first, but then you realise that everyone has left and you don’t really understand why or what happened.
So I decided to check the spam filter because I didn’t get emails in and then people actually told me their emails had bounced, so there it was, that worrying feeling naggin in the back of my mind. I have to admit I did something stupid: set up the wrong filter rule. So I just changed it back and made sure to check the verification option so people would be able to verify their email address and end up on my white list. Ever since I’ve changed it back I’m getting the odd spam in. I honestly believe spam servers are outdated and are no longer effective.
But I’ve been a wuss yesterday morning and read one: emoticons/sleepy.gif
It’s from Braith Butcher [I read: Brain Butcher… seriously, not kidding you not!] whose expedition landed in their area of operation and who led the rescue party by selling fast-acting and long-lasting hard [-] core stimulants…

Faffing

Didn’t do much last couple of days. Have been checking out Photoshop filters and bought a few as well, I’m addicted to those… very expensive hobby but so much fun to use! I’ve been building something yesterday and couldn’t stop till A. came home…
Here’s a preview, and I just realised that I need an A3 printer [color] now so I can update my portfolio… and Christiaan… you were right, my G5 is much faster but I noticed that it’s still not fast enough so A. now wants to buy mine and he told me to get the latest…
He’s totally converted to Mac since he bought some expensive firewire apparatus to connect his drum machine to his PC *aye, curse… curse…* The Mac had no problem at all but the other machine which-name-shall-be-unspoken had some. Conclusion, he needs a Mac and wants one [or two].
I will have to think it over since I’m not too keen on buying a first release… Anyway here’s my picture, there’s not much detail left because it’s A3/300 dpi and I had to resize it, but you’ll get the overall impression. Now I need to look up how to get to Mac Expo tomorrow…
