What a week!

It has been quite an insane and busy week here. So I share with you what’s kept me going much of the week.

Amelia spent much of the week helping me work
Cutest Cat in the World
Happy weekend.
Next week I’ll have a multi-part series on confirming email addresses and some major companies trying to do the right thing with subscriptions, but failing.
EDIT: Excuse any typos. Amelia has decided she doesn’t want to be a good cat and instead wants to walk all over my keyboard. I think I caught all her contributions, but I may have missed one or two.

Harvesting is alive and well

I’m finding out that email address harvesting off websites is alive and well on the Internet. We have a rotating address on the contact page, which does get harvested but usually the spam is attempting to sell me blog related services. I didn’t expect to get a very different collection of emails to the address I posted here. I’m quite surprised that address is getting a completely different type of spam from the contact address.
The one thing that harvesters appear to have in common is sending CAN SPAM violating email. Both the contact address and the questions address get lots of mail that is in violation of US (and California) law. One of these days I might get bored enough to file a suit against one of them and blog about it.

Please stop by and introduce yourselves if you’re at either conference. I always love to meet readers.
