Several months ago I found salvation in the form of Cloudmark, a breathtakingly effective spam/junk email filter that works seamlessly with Outlook Express and costs a mere $39.95 per year - well worth the bargain for the impeccable service it performs.
Further to my post below about this subject, I now use my ThinkPad exclusively for email and am anxiously awaiting the day Cloudmark comes out with the same technology for use with Mac Mail.
If spam and junk email are wreaking havoc on your PC, get thee to
Cloudmark immediately. Your problems will be solved as soon as you've downloaded the trial, and your use of the product free for a few days will persuade you to buy the product.
Now if Cloudmark would just have mercy and create similar technology for Mac users, all would be well. Mac Mail's junk filtering system is no longer cutting it.
That line is from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's "We Don't Work For Free." The song title is not the point... the point is I wish it would stay night for about a month. For me, in the darkness of night strikes the mood to write. And the solitude and the gentle atmosphere that nighttime affords me allow a part of my mind that can't take too much daylight - a psychically albino corner of my mind - to open up, not so much to receive as to give... to give forth some of its little ideas, some of its little compositions, some of its little expressions of this impulse to create.
The imperative of creative production is an organizing principle in my life.
I am so damn tired right now that I will have to return to that later.
By the way I must acknowledge that it has been ten+ months since I have written here and it's been a hell of a year since I turned forty.
But more on that later as well.
