Isn’t it amazing that of the five (5!) Applications for Prohibitory Order that I’ve filed against Comcast Cable, that none of them have even been acknowledged by the USPS? I guess when I file the next one, I need to send it with a Return Receipt requested, so I will know that the Processing Center has received the application.
And isn’t it amazing that Comcast sends their spew from mailing addresses all across the country?
AT&T slammed me a few months ago. I made the huge mistake of giving them my street address when I called their slamming resolution center. I am now gettings tons of junk mail addressed to me as a “former AT&T customer.” Now I know if I ever get slammed, don’t give my mailing address to the phone company.
Luckily, I was able to get a prohibitory order againt AT&T from sending me more of their garbage.
My old junk mail page is a bit out of date. I’ll start keeping it up to date via my journal entries.
I’ve been updating my stack of receipts from the Post Office Form 1500 applications I’ve filed.
Over 25 companies are now banned from sending me mail. 🙂 Unfortunately the idiots at the local
Post Office don’t believe that anyone would not want that stuff, so I am still getting the
Advo Shopwise garbage. I just wrote a letter to my local postmaster asking that he remind my carrier
that delivering mail without an address card is illegal.
To get off of the Advo mailing list, call 1-888-241-6760. Or file your own Form 1500.
Well, I think I’m basically ready to put the new design to PlanetMike online for the world to laugh at, no I mean, to enjoy. Although I’m not totally happy with it, it is better than the older version. Plus it has lots of new content. And the new site will then be my old site, so I can start working on my new-new site. Does that all make sense? Enjoy.
I really strongly dislike (not quite hate) the way that Internet.com supports their mailing lists.

Instead of simply putting in ads with their regular content (which they also do) they also
send out extra email messages with no valid content, just the ad! Luckily these are easily filtered out, but it is still rather annoying.
The Washington Apple Pi is a Washington DC user group for Apple computers. They’ve posted details about
their site re-design. Very interesting article.
Really cool tool (ha, I’m a poet and don’t know it!) for creating CSS layouts. http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php
I have a ton of mailboxes in my various Eudora setups. Every month or so I compact all the mailboxes. I do this by option-clicking on the mailbox info box in the lower left corner of a mailbox. What I remember happening is each box getting instantly compacted. Now it seems that they will be done at some point in the future. I don’t see anything in the preferences, and Google didn’t turn up anything useful (Gasp!). And the useless Eudora/Qualcomm web site didn’t turn up anything about this either. Any ideas?
While trying to find a way to manage Safari’s icon cache, I found a cool program called FavIconic.
It uses AppleScript to retrieve a site’s web icon and assign it to a .webloc file stored on your Mac.
Very slick. FavIconic.
It would be nice if FavIconic put in some kind of “no icon available” image when it can’t retrieve
the site’s icon.
