e-dreams - the story of kozmo.com (not kosmo.com) - April 28, 2004

For those of you who haven't seen e-dreams (the story of Kozmo.com), I recommend checking it out. Its been available on VHS for a few months I think and the DVD is being released June 15th. It is also being played on movie channels from what I've heard. I'd link to the official e-dreams website but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. The director's (Wonsuk Chin) website doesn't seem to exist anymore either. I couldn't be bothered with a VHS copy so I'm waiting for my DVD copy. I lost contact with.

A representative will be with you shortly - NOT - April 27, 2004

Ok, I clicked on the Linksys online support chat link at least an hour ago and continued on doing various other work. It says "A representative will be with you shortly" and has said that since I clicked it. I guess shortly could mean anything but if it doesn't mean within a reasonable amount of time then they shouldn't be displaying this at all. It is misleading and only pisses off the customer.

Price of SPAM higher - April 20, 2004

Funny that this article came across my daily SPAM news alerts. It threw me for a second. CHICAGO (Reuters) - Hormel Foods Corp. (NYSE:HRL - news), the maker of Dinty Moore beef stew and Spam luncheon meat, said on Tuesday it will raise prices for those items and other canned goods, in part because of higher beef, pork, and poultry prices.

There's logic in moving beyond Bayesian filters - April 20, 2004

Our philosophy at SimpleFilter is to provide as many levels of defense as possible. We factor in a great number of methods to determine the probability that an email is SPAM.

We are actually ahead of what experts suggest we should be doing which is a comforting thing to know.
