NotMySpace

So I figured I'd see if there was a Sampy already on MySpace. There are quite a few on Live Spaces and other properties around the net.

I found this rainbow covered...thing.

I hate MySpace so much.

Work with me!

On the subjects of spam

I love the new spammer strategy of wild subject lines and blocks of prose covered by an image. I get all my personal email on my Sidekick now so I see thru their clever ruse. I laugh every time I feel the "you've got mail" vibrate (the Sidekick is a very flirty device) and pull it out to something like "seasoned semicolon" or "bashful dashboard."

Today, however, I received the best spam subject of all time:

bladder sauce

Just wow...

Why do they do this? I've heard theories that it's an attempt to "untrain" filters that have been learning what spam looks like for about 4 years now. Flood them with nonsense that people mark as spam and suddenly the filters become too confused to work and the spam starts pouring in again.The battle for the tubes rages on...

Find WiFi with Hotspot Locator

Thru Duncan's blog I managed to find the Windows Live Hotspot Locator. Pretty cool little hotspot finding tool. Being able to see which ones are free is key :)

Funny other Sampy's

We Sampy's got to stick together. Big shout out to Sampy.it for holding down the fort in Italy.

Speaking for Forts, a former Navy recruiter named Joseph Sampy disgraced all Sampys when he was convicted of sexual assault.

For shame...
