How To Slash The Volume Of Spam You Receive

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Image by Getty Images via Daylife Spam or unwanted emails are the bane of my life.
Upon my return from holiday I had over 3,000 spam messages AFTER my spam filters had done their job!
Here’s what the problem sounds like to start with:

And here’s a solution to reduce spam:

Jeff Mulligan of CBMall fame, runs a great [...]

Sylvie Fortin Puts Homer To Bed

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

That should really read ” Sylvie Fortin puts the Homer affair to bed” but it doesn’t have quite the same impact.
Following my earlier revelation Sylvie interrupted her writing to admit to her brief, albeit unsatisfying affair with Homer.
Read her revelation here:
Sylvie’s admission
On a serious note, thank you Sylvie for being such a good sport and [...]

Randy The Hermit, Homer & Sylvie Fortin in Threesome

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Randy, The Hermit, has entered the fray!
This is what happens when you take a holiday.
I’ve been away for just over two weeks and I return to an unprecedented upset.
Randy (The Hermit) is upset with me for not giving him credit for introducing Homer to Sylvie Fortin.
Michel (Sylvie’s husband) is clearly upset with me for introducing [...]

Sylvie Fortin Admits To Knowing Homer

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

That really put the cat amongst the pigeons!
Michel Fortin found out about Homer getting into bed with Sylvie (as reported here a few days ago) and came looking for him. (You may still see Michel in the BlogLog widget below if you’re quick).
He obviously confronted Sylvie. Sylvie in turn has admitted to knowing Homer and [...]

Ziggy – Why He Needs The Internet

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

I have a meeting in Chiswick West London this morning and I’m hoping to bump into Ziggy.
I first heard of him last night, so it’s real coincidence I’m going to his manor today.
Ziggy is a Polish immigrant who sweeps roads for a living.
So what’s that got to do with the internet?
Quite simply, Ziggy is now [...]

Conspicuous by his absence I called Homer to find out what’s new.
Marge answered the phone:
“Hello My Anti Hype. I’m afraid Homer is in a trance and has been for nigh on 10 days”
She didn’t seem over concerned. If your partner had been in a trance for 10 days how would you feel? You’d [...]

Let’s Disqus – Video Comments?

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Disqus – surely you mean D I S C U S S?
Actually no, Disqus is another of those great sites that uses an unusual spelling of a common word.
I started using the Disqus service today and you need to know because it affects you.
Quite simply – Disqus is brilliant.
Ever wanted more interactivity on your blog? [...]

The Help Desk Guru!

Friday, June 13th, 2008

“Hi, I’m (name removed so as not to add to unemployment figures) and I’m your HelpDesk agent” (Sounds like the opening gambit at an AA meeting – not that I’ve been to one)
“What can I do for you today?”
Yes, I’m sure you’ve been there too. The trouble is it all too often goes rapidly [...]

Big Brother Syndrome

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

You really don’t know.
I didn’t.
Who is watching you? Right now I mean.
It’s the big brother syndrome. In city centres, shopping malls, museums, even on the roads we are being watched by video cameras.
But have you ever given a moments thought to who is watching your blog posts without you knowing?
Yesterday I mentioned that [...]

What Have Jack Humphrey & Willie Crawford Got in Common?

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Call me a sad old Anti Hype if you must but this week two particular things raised my spirits.
I wrote a short post about Utility Poster and the owner of the program, none other than Jack Humphrey himself (see Authority Site Center) took the time to visit this blog and personally post his thanks for [...]
