Company Recommendations
People keep asking me for recommendations on vendors such as general contractors, places to buy stuff, etc. So I started a web page with some of my recommendations. I'll try to keep updating it as I encounter more companies that provide excellent service, prices, and quality.

LED Televisions
In a previous entry, I mentioned that I had never heard of an LED TV. Well, today I have. Sony has announced an LED TV. However, I don't believe the CSI episode was really talking about LED. I learn something new everyday.

One week of blogging
I've now been blogging for a week and must say that it is kind of neat to be able to write what's on my mind and not have to bug my wife. I don't expect my ramblings to be very interesting to anyone, but at least I can get things off my mind.

Email Spam
Email spam, as everyone knows, has gotten completely out of hand. I use a system called DSPAM which works amazingly well. However, today I decided to upgrade to the latest version. The configuration on the program is a royal nightmare. I wanted to remove the hacks I put in place for retraining false positives as they're hard to maintain each time I upgrade. This turned out to be a loser proposition. After several hours trying to find hints on the net and reconfiguring, I finally gave up and put my hacks back in. (Basically the web CGI for re-training doesn't seem to work right and puts the mail into a blackhole instead of delivering it.) If anyone knows an easy way to install DSPAM on Linux with sendmail, please let me know. However, I want to invoke it with procmail and not directly from sendmail as I want the ability to have certain filters act on mail before DSPAM gets it; DSPAM wants to classify certain senders as spam even though I know they're not.)
