My haircut is NOT fine. Even though everyone but me thinks so. Everyone

I like the rotary phone icon. I think it's one of my best icons.
[ See them all at http://trenchant.org/ikons/ ]
I was thinking about bringing back the phone icon with some snazzy web
form->to my phone kind of thing, but do I really want random text messages
on my phone? Probably not. Especially since they cost me 5 cents each,
since I didn't get the 300 for $5 or whatever it is add-on to my t-mobile
plan.
Fuck messaging. I mean, it's a phone. People should just... call it.
Except that I haven't really given out my new number. So, people can't
really do that.

Josh,
Your "who's researching me" link didn't come through. (Or maybe
dripmail ate it... it does dispose of HTML-mail, so if the link wasn't in the
plaintext version, it's gone, I suppose.)
I don't know all that much about whitelist/blacklist mail solutions. I
just used some random procmail recipe that uses a single-email-per line
text file of messages for whitelisting, along with SpamAssassin to presort
spam into another folder I check once a week or so at most.
I'd almost not even bother with blacklisting... spammers continually forge
and fake new addresses constantly, so a blacklist solution usually just
adds work for you and doesn't bring many gains.
As for the link to whitelist - if you don't care much about security and
just want to do the very bad security through obscurity model, a simple
CGI that just adds an address to your whitelist textfile wouldn't be hard
to come up with, and then just append to your messages a link that had
that script with the address already in there and you'd be set.

Doctor Allen-Gervis,
Thank you for your assessment. I am always impressed by your analytical
skills. You cut to the core issues like a scythe whistle-thumping through
the mangroves. Cormorant beware!
As I have expressed to you before, I find Mr. Ma inept as a solicitor and
personally offensive as a human being. Grooming should not solely be left
to horses. I know that you appreciate Mr. Ma's ruthlessness and feel guilt
about the injuries he sustained during our Spanish Campaign, but
ruthlessness is a characteristic not uncommon in his field, and his lack of
diligence cannot be excused. He was terminated this afternoon. Miss
Pinksky will now be working with me on the Tottenham property and the
problems it presents.
Eckhart has succumbed to the influenza, but I trust he will be shortly back
up to snuff. The budget review is advancing well, although we have been
forced into some unpleasant decisions. I am sorry to inform you that your
request for a sidecar will have to be tabled, and that, promising as you
have shown them be, we will no longer be able to fund your experiments in
super-decelerated hydrogymnastics. I am deeply regretful of these cuts, and
hold out hope that these initiatives will be resuscitated in the near
future.
I will speak with you on Monday regarding these issues and our Treble Clef
Initiative which we must get under way.
Until then, I remain,

I appreciate your hardwork. If ever I've known a
woman more horselike in carriage, she has
escaped my memory.
I am sorry to hear of the row between yourself
and my faithful Mr. Ma. I have spoken to Pinksky
and she sounds steadfast and capable. But
please know that I type this not from the central
office, from which we are now legally barred
from entering, but from the offices of Thiem Ma,
Esq. who has been retained by the authorities.
Please also know that I have prepared a new
composition, which I would like to share with the
staff as soon as possible.
To the sky!

Doctor Allan-Gervis:
I know your weakness for the smooth strength of the equine form; you flatter
me. But I am no longer a young woman, dear Allan. Those days are but a dim
distant flicker of a battle-knifed memory now full in its retreat. Many
years ago, perhaps, I was something to be flattered. As a young girl, yes,
betrothed to the handsome Prince Reijning of Belgium, when I would dress in
fine silk linens, eyes turned down, mouth wet with warm spit. Flowers
wilted in jealousy of my perfect aroma; geese would fly from Lladllul and
Wodzt just to sit on my shoulders and nest in the finery of my hair... I
was something then, or so they told me, but that life was long ago.
My life now, as you well know, is pendant on the soft rising of a culture
leavened with the agent of truth. Truth is my beauty now.
To that end, I have instructed Eckhart to cease all payments to Mssr. Thiem
Ma, Esq., effective immediately. His office, tarpapered hovel that it is,
has been informed. Miss Pinksky has undertaken a full review of the
Tottenham contracts, and is devising a workable plan that may put us in
possession of the property as early as Friday hence, when our first order of
business will be to terminate the gendarmes and evict the riotous group of
outlaw entomologists who have squatted there since June.
I am excited about this turn in fortunes, good Doctor, and thank you for
your steadfast work. I await, anxiously, your newest composition, and your

Lieberman Denounces 'Grand Theft Auto' Video Game
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=industryNews&storyID=4202668
"Video games have gotten better over time," Lieberman said during a
women's forum at Dartmouth College sponsored by Lifetime Television. "But
there's a couple out there that are horrendous."
"You ought to see one called "Grand Theft Auto," he said. "The player is
rewarded for attacking a woman, pushing her to the ground, kicking her
repeatedly and then ultimately killing her, shooting her over and over
again."
I'm still confused as to how he can run for the Democratic nomination when
he's a fricking Republican.
Also, I personally managed to beat Vice City twice without commiting such
acts of misogyny. Maybe Joe should write up a proper player's guide to
GTA, I'm sure he knows the game a lot better than me.

Security Poor in Electronic Voting Machines, Study Warns

Electronic voting machines made by Diebold Inc. that are widely used in
several states have such poor computer security and physical security that
an election could be disrupted or even stolen by corrupt insiders or
determined outsiders, according to a new report presented today to
Maryland state legislators.
...
The authors of the report said that they had expected a higher degree of
security in the design of the machines. "We were genuinely surprised at
the basic level of the exploits" that allowed tampering, said Mr.
Wertheimer, a former security expert for the National Security Agency.

Electronic voting machines made by Diebold Inc. that are widely used in
several states have such poor computer security and physical security that
an election could be disrupted or even stolen by corrupt insiders or
determined outsiders, according to a new report presented today to
Maryland state legislators.
...
The authors of the report said that they had expected a higher degree of
security in the design of the machines. "We were genuinely surprised at
the basic level of the exploits" that allowed tampering, said Mr.
Wertheimer, a former security expert for the National Security Agency.

Subject: Jim's dead Claire, they're dead. They're all dead.
Let me begin by saying, we were almost all wrong, and I certainly =
include myself here...It turns out that we were all wrong, probably in =
my judgment, and that is most disturbing.
Now this is just ridiculous. There is no way such a situation can occur. =
When the US bombed the Chinese Embassy a few years ago it was not an =
intelligence failure although that was the strict party line, "'One of =
our planes attacked the wrong target because the bombing instructions =
were based on an outdated map." Yea, sure it was. What about USNIMA =
saying the map story was "a damned lie". Those map people know what the =
fuck they're doing. All they do is sit around all day and make sure the =
maps are right. And its not like they change that often. Europe has =
pretty much looked territorially the same for a couple hundred years.
When the we blew up an "asprin factory" in Sudan. Well, I don't know =
what to say about that. But I remember seeing the other day that Bill =
O'Reilly saw Bill Clinton at a party and the Clinton wanted to tell him =
just how close he came to getting Bin Laden.=20
Just like we almost got Saddam on that first night of the attack.
What I find most disturbing is that people seem to think this doesn't =
mean anything. Wolfowitz has held the same line for a while now
"You have to make decisions based on the intelligence you have, not on =
the intelligence you can discover later," Jan. 29.
"The lesson of 9-11 is that, if you're not prepared to act on the basis =
of murky intelligence, then you're going to have to act after the fact." =
July 28
even though I think he held this view well before 9-11. I mean =
credibility is a real thing. I hope it is.=20
and ofcourse, now, the Dutch Embassy is being blown up
