Every 10 years or so I check the MissingMoney.com website to see if I have any lost money. If a company owes you money but can’t find you for whatever reason, it ends up there. Yes, it’s legit. :-) This time I found several small piles of money and a few large ($500-$1000) ones related […]

I couldn’t fix my outgoing email spam problems without paying “big email”. Neither could this much-more capable guy. It’s a racket! More discussion on JWZ’s blog and here.   Spam

If you get a notice from Facebook saying that your password changed, look into it! If Facebook doesn’t hear from you for a month, they’ll assume the change was legit. If it was a bad person, they’ll then have free reign to do any nefarious thing they want in your account, including spamming your friends […]

If you need to download a video on Youtube or Vimeo or wherever, this process will often do it for you, fer free and without downloading some likely-spammy-scammy software. The key is: most video online is HTML5. VLC can play any HTML5 video… and get you the link to download it. (via)

In a fit of nostalgia, I’m going to leave this here… It’s a blog post I made around July 2005 that I had taken down for a long time. ————————————————– Lee isn’t quite a software engineer, and he’s not quite a sysadmin. He’s what you’d call a computer handyman. He shows up with his bucket […]

Here is a suggestion I just sent the Android Gmail team: If an email sender has been previously approved to display images, the images should be loaded when the email is downloaded to my phone. Right now the images are loaded when the email is viewed for the first time. This means I have to […]
