gMail Spam Filter & mailer-daemon

Dan — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:23:10 +0000

So recently, gMail increased thier security on the spam filter. so almost every email I was getting was spam. The problem was that I had my email going from my domain account and forwarded to my regular gmail account, so I didnt realized what the issue was. I now corrected the issue by not having a domain account and just setting up a group that forwards to my email address. This allows me to constantly hit the “not spam” button.

I have found that 20% or more of my email is still getting filtered out at spam even though its not.

Now that I have been looking at my spam folder on a regular basis I have noticed something weid. I keep getting spam from Mail Delivery Daemon. ANd when I look at the track back it seems valid, as if its being sent from pegasus on my behalf to me…. has anyone else been getting this? do I have a virus somewhere, excapt that that isnt possable since I dont have any windows PCs any more. Has anyone else seen this?

I have included one of the emails if anyone has any ideas.

UCF Sirens

Dan — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 14:49:01 +0000

So I posted a tweet yesterday about the UCF sirens, didnt know what they were, but I just got this email.

UCF will conduct tests of its new outdoor emergency siren system Thursday through Monday. The sirens are part of UCF’s ongoing preparations for a potential campus emergency and are one of several communications tools the university would use to provide critical information to students, faculty, staff and the public.

The sirens are located on parking garages B, D and H and on the Facilities & Safety complex on Libra Drive.

A variety of siren tests will be conducted from 1 to 6 p.m. Thursday, at 1 p.m. Friday, from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday. The tests will include a mix of tone sounds and “test” voice instructions. The siren tests may be audible inside some campus buildings and in some neighborhoods close to campus.

Las Vegas Casino Cruise

First off a big congrats goes out to the UCF womens basketball team on thier CUSA championship and thier ticket to the big dance. Good luck.

So now having been on all three casino cruises that are or have been at port Canaveral, they all suck. Well, sterling wasn’t too bad but they are all quite boring unless you have a lot of money to burn and like gambling. I don’t have either. It was an incredibly rough night Saturday when we went. I took Dramamine and I was a little sick. Overall the boat is kind of cruddy, really small. The one thing about sterling when it was there is that the actual boat was rather clean (compared to the others). This was dirty and very small. On top of that all the slot machines were very close together.

Me and Freddy sat up in the sports book all night and watched BBall, Soccer (Futbal) and boxing. Sippin’ on G&T and playing “I’m On A Boat” on my phone for 3 hours. It was fun, but only cause I was quite drunk.

Would not do it again, and I really can’t recommend it to anyone else. You will most likely have a better time just going to a bar, especially if you are almost in Cocoa Beach and you can find a bar that loverlooks the ocean.

Windows 7

Dan — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:40:00 +0000

Okay so I finally got Windows 7 to install in virtualBox, turns out you need to select windows other, which does not allow 64-bit OSs. Additionally i needed to have VT-x turned off to get the install to work. Here are some prelim screenshots. I will post more comments as I use it more but my first impression: the look is like the new KDE and Vista had an ugly bloated lovechild. The default install of the x86 version of the OS takes up over 10Gb on a new vDrive nothing installed yet. I love how the touted this as a trimmed down OS…. okay well here are the screenshots.

Any sugestions on what I should try? leave it in the comments, I’m going to try and use this a bit more and I will update here with my comments.

Transfering Domains

So, transferring a domain from one registrant to another sucks. 4 phone calls, and a week and a half later. I finally have this site over the on dreamhost!!! Welcome!

Common Courtesy

Dan — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 20:33:42 +0000

Does common courtesy not even exist anymore? Â I was in the union today and I got some lunch from BK. Â When I got in line, about 5 tables where available so I didn’t think I would have any problem once I got my food.

After ordering andÂ receivingÂ my foot I turnedÂ aroundÂ to find that no tables where available, while walkingÂ aroundÂ I found that any tables were being taken by one person who wasn’t eating. Â Why do you need to be in the food court to work on your laptop. Â WTF? Â I will admit I have done that before, but never when all tables are full. Â If you see someone trying to find a table and you are all alone at a table not eating wouldn’t it be appropriate to give up your table for someone who would use it correctly?

Also, if you only have 4 people at your table, you don’t need two tables. Â I saw A group of 4, at two tables (room for 8 ) when they would have fitÂ perfectlyÂ fine at a table built for, oh my god, 4 people.Â Â Pay attention and don’t be an ass hole.Â

Political Commercials

Dan — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 01:05:35 +0000

Now is the season for political commercials. I personally hate them, does anyone really base their vote on this crap? Lord help us if they do.

All I have to say is SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! I will watch a debate, I will read your press releases, but unless you can say it in front of your competitors, don’t say it at all. I think political advertisements should be limited to <25% of all commercials. I’m just glad that this election season I have a DVR!

Room Assignments

Dan — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 20:20:37 +0000

So, school started this week, its going to be a long semester. (I’m taking 4 classes, ouch). Here is the problem that came to my attention this week: There is a brand new building where all of your professors offices are, Engineering 3 (I refuse to call it the Harris building). The thing is, of my 4 classes 2 are in the old Engineering 1 building. Now your probably thinking “Ok, so, they ran out of room for classes in the new building”. But no, while my classes are going on, classes from the college of nursing are being held in the new rooms in ENG III!!! Why couldn’t they put the nurses in the old moldy building and put us in the new building which would be more convenient not only for my professors, but for me as well. Also, aren’t the nursing offices in HPA? wouldn’t ENG I be closer? Whatever I just think its crap, our department payed for the building, why can’t be get first dibs?!
