Nobody Wants Spam Anymore

It’s not a secret anymore, that all bloggers hate spam. We are forced to spend a lot of our time only by deleting spam comments and trackbacks. For me, at least, this is the very first thing I do in the morning, while drinking my coffee: I delete tons of spam from my blogs and from my email boxes.

If you were wondering if there’s any anti spam blog out there, you’ll be pleased to know that indeed, an anti spam blog has launched: its name is All Spammed Up. The new blog is not dealing only with spam comments on blogs, but also with business anti spam, and with email security or anti phishing issues.

All Spammed Up is supported by GFI software and it aims to draw an alarm signal regarding the spam which is more and more becoming a worldwide threat. The articles published treat lots of interesting topics, all spam-related. For example. I was amazed to find out that Google’s spam filter blocks anti-Obama blogs. I’m not so much involved in politics, but I imagine how offended the supporters of Hilary Clinton must have been when they saw their blogs shut down.

Other type of stories published on the blog are the news stories, like the one which informs the readers that the CAN-SPAM law has been updated. This law concerns email messages sending and it is very important, if you work for a direct marketing company, to know what are the changes, because you have to comply.

For all readers who what to know the latest things about spam, All Spammed Up offers a feed you can subscribe to and get the fresh news directly in your feed reader.

My Crazy Halloween Costume Idea

Halloween Costumes are always a great occasion for fun and laughter. I’m a big fan of Halloween, and I’ve always tried to exploit it to the full, by choosing the craziest ideas for my costumes. I just like to amaze the audience. I love those first seconds after I appear, when everybody shuts up and stares. You cannot imagine how funny it was when I dressed myself like a big piece of cake and I started chasing around my nephews around the house! I think they were afraid to eat their desert some good weeks after that Halloween!

How I still remember that other Halloween, when my wife and I dressed like the Ball and Chain. Boy, we were so funny! Too bad I was the ball, so I wasn’t able to sit at the dinner table because of the spikes I had all over. Not to mention that our dog, Toby, didn’t recognize me from the start and he tried to bite my spikes.

We’ve found these costumes at Costume Cauldron, an amazing online shop for Halloween costumes. For this year, I’ve already made my choice: I’ll be Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings. The Gandalf Adult Deluxe costume is available in the same shop, Costume Cauldron. My wife is going to be Betty Boop, so we expect the youngsters to fight to sit near her at the table. This costume looks so sexy that I think I’m not going to invite my male, single friends to join us for the Halloween pary. Not that I’m jealous, but you can never know. So it’s better to be safe than sorry.

The funniest thing, that final touch which makes the perfect masquerade, is the fact that at Costume Cauldron you can also find accessories and make up for the selected costumes. Too bad I don’t have photos from the last Halloween, because we dropped the camera on the floor and we were unable to retrieve any information from it. Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter, a we have the whole party on video.

If you are now thinking we are crazy to spend so much money for just one night a year, please find out that the costumes are affordable, and if you pay attention, you can find the special discount code at Costume Cauldron which will make the costumes even more affordable and the joy even bigger.

Age of Conan: Most Expected MMORPG

MMORPGs are so cherished by so many people. Gamers forget to eat, drink and they even give up sleep in their quest for chasing all their enemies in those virtual worlds, in order to become stronger and stronger, to rule the world and get to the end of the game in glory.

Age of Conan forums have just known an incendiary thread, after the Age of Conan producer announced that the early access program has been sold out.

With such huge scale games, you can never know how they are actually going to perform when they are launched. At tests, they may be just perfect, and when installed on the official servers, they may return unexpected errors and bugs. This is normal, if we think how many gamers are online at a given moment in time, and you realize that reproducing these conditions in a lab is impossible. Of course, how could for example, Age of Conan’s programmers and testers gather a huge crowd of people willing to play it and get paid for chasing the bugs? I’m sure Fancom did all their best to test even the most unpredictable situations, but you never know what life would bring you.

Nevertheless, it is not to be forgotten that Fancom reserved the right to modify the conditions of the Age of Conan Early Access program, so they cannot be blamed because they did.
