Just like people whales like to have fun too.

Beluga whale blows bubble rings under water and then plays with them.

That is a cool whale. :)

BTW Maniakes, if you want to try another environment for your embed, I have a WordPress test blog you can try on.  It would determine if it’s a flaw in the software here. It should be the same version as Dean’s World (v2.3.4 I think).

You can’t hurt it because 1) it only has a couple of posts, and 2) I have been meaning to delete it as I no longer plan on making WordPress themes.

Drop an email to ipbforum AT charter DOT net and I will give you a temp editor account. (and that goes for anyone else here I know)

Breitbart TV video clip

Rep. Kanjorski: "That if we won the Congressional elections, we could stop the war. Now anybody was a good student of Government would know that wasn’t true. But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts…and people ate it up."

I just figured out the embedding on my site, Filed Away. I had to go to the HTML view and surround the embedded link with the CODE tags- worked just fine after that.

Lots of geek speak tonight.
I’ve downloaded a trial version of Illustrator CS3. I’ve taught myself Photoshop over the years and figured I’d see what Illustrator was like. Looks like it could be cool, but the learning curve for it looks just as steep as Photoshop’s – and that program is the hardest one I’ve ever learned.

I know this is serious, but it also gives me an excuse to say "nipple cream."

STREW!

zach.,

You need another email address. Your .edu is blocking me because of some [two-minute string of expletives deleted] black list at Barracuda Reputations. I’m happy to help you, but won’t be able to if you can’t receive my review.

Black lists are more evil than spam.

10 Maniakes May 24, 2008 at 2:39 pm

Thank you, Sandi. I just sent you an email.

11 zach May 24, 2008 at 2:42 pm

martin,

thanks.  i have sent you an e-mail from another address.  don’t even get me started about our school’s black-list.  missing important e-mails has been an increasingly frequent occurrence in my department.

Because some T-Mobile customer somewhere is infected with a spambot, every T-Mobile user across the network is now on all the blacklists. That sucks.

And their instructions for removal are flat-out wrong. They tell me if I just set up SMTP authentication in Outlook, all will be well. I already have SMTP authentication. My mail server requires it. They tell me that my mail server must be infected. I’m the admin for my domain, so I would fix that if I could; but it’s not my mail server they’re blocking. The IP they’re blocking is a T-Mobile relay along the path.

Blacklists are more evil than spam.

When the email system finally dies, it won’t be because of spam. It will be because email has ceased to be a guaranteed delivery system. Not that it ever really was, but it was close enough. When it stops being guaranteed delivery, people will have to find other solutions.
