I just had something disturbing happen to me. I received about a dozen “failed” emails back. The problem was, I’d never sent them. Someone is sending spam using my domain name. If you have come to my site to complain, you’re looking for somebody else. In fact, so am I…
UPDATE: This is also happening to Brad.
Chandler is an open-source alternative to Outlook being developed by, among others, Mitch Kapor, the founder of Lotus, and early Apple pioneer Andy Hertzfeld. It looks really promising so far, and best of all, Mitch and Andy will be making a presentation at the Emerging Technology conference next month and will show off version 0.1. Yet another reason I really really want to go. Though I now have no trouble getting the time off <grin>, the money is another issue.
I’ve been a long time reader and contributor to Matt Haughey‘s excellent MetaFilter site. But did you know that there are now a whole bunch of other similar sites?
Where’s CoffeeFilterFilter?
(via, where else, MeFi)
Boy, it must be a new year or something. Everyone’s launching new sites. Especially welcome is Matt Haughey‘s TicketStubs, an idea he’s been working on for a couple of years now. The idea is simple: submit a scan or picture of a ticket stub from a significant event, and tell the story behind it. I was hoping for the same sort of thing from my languishing Setlists Project, and it looks like Matt’s site will fulfill its promise. It looks nifty, too.
Kudos to Matt for yet another feat of ingenuity. He’s kind to Canadians, too.
Friendster is sweeping the web. Wanna join my personal network of friends, acquaintances, stalkers, hangers-on, minions, lackeys, and bootlickers? Sure you do. The only drawback I see is that you can’t search for someone by name alone. Since we all have so many email addresses, someone could be subscribed under another address than the one you search for, but I expect that will be ironed out. This reminds me of the old Six Degrees service from a few years back.
Note: The “beta code” they ask for is “coke” (no quotes).
