Making sure your email and news letters aren’t SPAM
Posted on December 28, 2005

I’ve been browsing around and found a really great little web app to process the email you would send out to your customers and based on the current SPAM database give you results telling you how likely it is to be marked SPAM by various services. This has saved me alot of times with sending out mails to clients such as new products, service updates and general news. Check it out here: http://www.onautopilot.com/email-analyzer

Current Workspace Configuration
Posted on December 28, 2005
7 Comments
Being just back from vacation, just coming off the jetlag and going into the new year its only fit to have a new desktop setup for work and play. This is my current rig, simple and straightforward and works great for me. The monitor is the new Dell 2005FPW Widescreen I picked up while in the states. One word…AMAZING. I tell you I will NEVER go back to none-widescreen again if I have any say in the matter. 1680×1050 of screen realestate goodness! I will be writing a full review on this shortly so keep a look out for that. It is sitting on a generic IKEA monitor stand. This is pretty simple but allows for some very efficient configuration of things on my desk (Which is also from IKEA). Because I have the monitor on the swivel stand, I can put my 12” Powerbook laptop directly under it instead of on the left or right of the monitor.
It might appear also that my laptop is floating in thin air, you’d be correct. Hah. Positioning it like this gives me easy access to the DVD burner and allows me to do all the connections behind it away from sight. To the right is my stacked RAID Aarray, speakers and Microsoft wireless reciever. I have 2×250GB HD’s in a RAID 1 mirror under OS X 10.4.3 in external firewire 400 enclosures.
And what you can’t see in the picture is my under-desk rollout keyboard holder with my Microsoft Wireless Comfort keyboard and Intellimouse Wireless Explorer. I’m very happy with my setup and its allowed for much more flexibility and efficiency in my work. Also with a 12” Powerbook as my main “workhorse”, I love being able to just unplug and take work with me.
In the future I’d say if things were to change it would probably be getting a Powermac and getting another 20” to have a dual monitor setup, with of course another IKEA floating swivel monitor stand. But one thing at a time right?
