It was Porsche Day at Redmond Town Center. There are many expensive Porsches like GT3RS and Turbos. I mean there are many of them. Maybe too many of them.

I like those air cooled Porsches.

DreamersI.com SPAM Filter Adjustment

8月

2日

I would like to lower SPAM threshold to 4.0 from current 5.5.
I checked many emails that come in to my mailbox and checked the SPAM scores. About 50% of them are over 4.0 but not much more. At the same time, all valid email had score of less than 1.5.

By moving to 4.0, we should be able to eliminate additional 30 to 50% of SPAM emails. We will proceed with this change on Monday August 4. If you have question or concern, please let me know.

Murphy's Law

8月

2日

If anything can go wrong, it will.

Nothing on the Internet is free from the Murphy's Law. No matter how much redundancy you create, no matter how much you spend, your site and your email will sometime go down. Nobody wants to make it go down (except maybe hackers) but it will happen.

Whatever you store on the Internet can be stolen. The best thing you can do to protect information is not to store important data on the internet. This morning, Facebook, is down. It is a publicly traded multi-billion dollar corporation. The server is down. If this can happen to Facebook, it can happen to anyone.

About Porsche 911 (996)

8月

1日

I learned three things about my Porsche 911 (996) today.

(1) There is a button where usually a bonnet release to raise and lower the rear spoiler.

(2) 1999 Porsche 911 (996) uses 10q of Mobil 1 0w40 oil and you need to constantly monitor oil level.

(3) You need to press dow clutch pedal to the floor when you start your engine or it does not clank.

I learn this from the service guy at Barrier Porsche. No charge.

POP is old.

If you are sell using POP as your email service, stop. IMAP is faster, lighter and easier to manage. Even if your email software crashes, your email is intact.

Question you should be asking is how do you migrate to IMAP from POP. Don't just delete the POP account and move to IMAP. You will loose all email in your computer.

If you move to our email hosting service with IMAP. we will help you migrate to IMAP.

The Middle East Conflict

7月

Bad guys took women, children and elders hostage and start shooting good guys hiding behind the hostages. Good guys told hostages to get out of the way or they get shot. Hostages could not get out of their way because bad guys will kill them if they move. So, the hostages are staying put. And bad guys keep shooting at good guys.

Fearing for their lives and people around them, good guys start shooting in between the hostages but sometimes (actually often) hostages are shot and killed. But good guys intention is not to harm any hostage.

Is this action justified?

No, I don't think so. So, is that mean good guys are bad now? That is "No" either. The true bad guys are the bad guys using hostage as a human shields.

So, what is the solution?

Good guys must create trusting relation ship with hostages. Protect them instead of going through them to get to bad guys.

Can that be done?

I don't know and it might be too late. Do not treat hostages as a part of bad guys, but treat them as they are "hostages". Killing hostages is very hard sell to any western world.

Technically Speaking … SEX SELLS

7月

30日

Simply put, sex in advertising is the use of sexually provocative or erotic imagery (or sounds, suggestions and subliminal messages) that are specifically designed to arouse interest in a particular product, service or brand.

Typically, sex refers to beautiful women (and increasingly, handsome men) that are used to lure in a viewer, reader or listener, despite a tenuous a non-existent link to the brand being advertised.

It's been said that as human beings, we have a lizard or reptilian brain that responds to certain primal urges. Food is one. Sex and reproduction is definitely another. This underlying, pre-programmed disposition to respond to sexual imagery is so strong, it has been used for over 100 years in advertising.

Statistically speaking, since most Corporate IT related decisions are made by man, we should be using sexy lady to promote our services. I placed some of the advertisements that use SEX as ways to get attention. One thing for sure, non of the products advertised here have anything to do with SEX.

Unfortunately, what it proves is … Men has a lizard or reptilian brain.

How much are your web and email cost?

To run your company web site and email with your own domain name, how much do you spend on them? That's all depend on the number of employees and the size of your web site and type of servers and ISP …

Well, most business owners do not know how much they are spending. That is okay, that is not your business to know that, unless you are spending too much. So how much is too much? Can you spend too little?
