Normally when I see articles such as this where spam volumes have dropped between 40-75%, my BS meter starts to peg on high. But more articles are coming out stating that 500,000 bots have been bagged.

Surprisingly, we have seen the drop here at the office. We have a store and forward service and we have various statistical tools to serve us a graph of the volume. Check this out!

I couldn’t be happier to see Ted Stevens go! For those that don’t know, Ted has been found guilty on several federal felonies and has been one of the bigger pork barrel abusing politicians in recent history.

Ted Stevens most publicized pork barrel project has involved the spending of your hard earned tax dollars on the bridge to nowhere.

Fortunately for the American people, Uncle Ted has lost his re-election bid.

My tax dollars feel a little safer now that Ted will no longer be back in Washington!

By trade, I’m a PHP/C programmer and rarely have time to really work on some fun stuff at home. But recently, I have been trying to spend some more time working on some fun projects and getting my hands dirty with XCode and the iPhone SDK.

I recently downloaded the latest and greatest version of XCode and overwrote the beta versions I had been running with before. The installation went fine and I decided I would load up one of the demo apps to make sure that everything was indeed still working as I expected.

Done! #222 for my polling place for the day.

I managed to get out of the office around 10 and got right into the polling place. No major lines though there was a bit of an issue with the scan tron machine accepting the ballots. But you just had to try it a few times and it would usually take it.

They didn’t have the “I voted” stickers. Sure its a small thing, but its part of the process.
