Junk mail, etc.
A place for everything, and everything in its place
Despite the sunshine that greeted me, I am in kind of a sour mood this morning.
Actually.. my “sourness” has been building up. I am “sour” because, after years of use, my main email account now receives SO MUCH spam (“Junk”) I am considering dropping it, and starting fresh — which is a pain. In fact, I am getting so sour.. I think the world is over-populated. By 16 *people*, at least…
Fact: 90% (or more) of all the traffic on the Internet – at any given moment – is spam. Plenty of experts will tell you 95%. (I would say that makes the Internet 90% broken.)
Fact 2: Most spam is sent by criminals who have infected our machines, and are using them in a botnet.
Because this website is Rated E (suitable for “everyone”), I will refrain from describing my opinion of anyone who would think it a good use of their time to compose a message, such as these, and then mass mail it.. nor describe my cure for over-population. Instead..
I want to know what you think
Today’s reading reco: Stop being duped by the 3D scam
“The entertainment and electronics industries keep trying to push 3D on consumers, even though a lot of smart people have caught on to the fact that it’s scam. It’s time to stop the madness.” Read more…
Please: Don’t worry about me or my mood. I have a trick for curing “sourness”.
I form a mental picture.. and it works every time…
.. and then I turn on a really “rockin” music video..
Ha!
The weekend is (almost) here! The weekend is (almost) here!

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

Paul,
I think you are definitely onto something with your trick for curing ‘sourness’. Seeing that puppy smile makes it hard to be frustrated with anyone!
