Amusing electric ham-like food product, Frontpage, Frontpage extensions,
Frontpage hate, Frontpage sucks
Still busy with work as we're now in the process of moving sites to the
servers in Charlotte and breaking tons of stuff in the process (“ooh, the
firewall is blocking all FTP (File Transfer Protocol) traffic, and for the
life of me, if I have to reinstall Frontpage extensions [1] one more time …”)
so some of the posts I want to write will have to wait a bit.
Meanwhile, I've received a ton of spam (“So, like, what else is new?”) and
some of it just tickled my fancy. I received one that had:
> Subject: Standard Input:
>
Seems like these spammers didn't understand how to run their software
properly, along with the difficulty these people have:
> From: modifying HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
>
(Clue-by-four, people! Look it up!) Then there's this one I received (and
mind you, I do no filtering of my email—none—so this is exactly how they sent
it):
> Subject: [spam] (100) Restore your PayPal account access !
>
I wish all spam came conveniently pre-labled as such. But it seems some
spammers are tailoring the subject lines to the domain, because I received
this one:
> Subject: DC Replacement of Cisco Routers- stay tuned
>
Which had nothing to do with Cisco routers, but given that I've talked about
Cisco routers, they probably felt it would get me to open it. But my favorite
one so far, is this one:
> From: Pancakes
> Subject: Spaghetti Wonton
>
I don't know—something about pancakes sending spaghetti wontons at me just
struck me as being cute. Or something.
