Brain Butcher

| | Tickle My Senses (3)

Lately I've received annoying spam especially on my business email account. By the end of November last year I would receive about 20 to 30 a day... So I've set up a spam filter on my mail server not realising it was set so tight that some people who tried to send me emails had them bounced. Can you imagine you're throwing a party; there's a room full of people chatting, loud music and then all of a sudden silence, total silence... what a pleasure you think at first, but then you realise that everyone has left and you don't really understand why or what happened.

So I decided to check the spam filter because I didn't get emails in and then people actually told me their emails had bounced, so there it was, that worrying feeling naggin in the back of my mind. I have to admit I did something stupid: set up the wrong filter rule. So I just changed it back and made sure to check the verification option so people would be able to verify their email address and end up on my white list. Ever since I've changed it back I'm getting the odd spam in. I honestly believe spam servers are outdated and are no longer effective.

But I've been a wuss yesterday morning and read one: emoticons/sleepy.gif

It's from Braith Butcher [I read: Brain Butcher... seriously, not kidding you not!] whose expedition landed in their area of operation and who led the rescue party by selling fast-acting and long-lasting hard [-] core stimulants...

About Tess

Expat Life: I moved from Amsterdam to London, Aug. 2006. Things didn't quite work out as planned and I found myself on my own in a foreign country.

Reflection: 2007 Has been a difficult year but I've managed to accomplish a lot more than I thought I ever could. I've set up my own business, survived a serious health issue, met some amazing people and found my future...

Personality: At times stuck in a time warp of ideas and thoughts, Mixed Blood [Eurasian seems to be the fancy word for it: Indonesian and Dutch], typical Capricornish Goat, Sensitive, Crazy about Apple Macs and anything related, Gadget Girl, Intelligent, Psychological profiling of all kind, Sucker for all sorts of stuff that makes my OS run like: Coffee and Chocolate, Deep Thinker, Perfectionist, Foolish, Silly, Stubborn [WHAT?... ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!
