Simple, yet effective – Stickmen

Selling a couple of old mobiles

Now that I have my new mobile phone, I figured I won’t be needing my old Nokia phones, so if anyone is interested I have two phones for sale… The first one has a 4.1 MegaPixel camera and the second comes with Vibrating Alert AND a Camera. Here’s a pic of the two phones:

St Paddy’s Day

Happy St Paddy’s Day! Lastnight, Kristy, Heidi and I went to PJ O’Brien’s to celebrate and whilst there we ran into Kate and Nick… before they left, Nick stole a little plastic Irish flag for me (as like most males, he enjoys stealing little things after a few drinks). After a Guinness and a reasonable [...]

I spent most of Tuesday on the phone sorting-out problems with emails being rejected that shouldn’t be and one guy actually abused me (well not me directly, but Ingenuity as a company) for trying to [...]

Please note that I use the term “play” very loosely – if anyone ever saw us “play” they would say that we massacre the game. Personally I have worse hand-eye coordination than a blind amputee and a fitness [...]

Greylisting

( Work )

Today we setup Greylisting on the Ingenuity mail server. Greylisting is a relatively new method of blocking significant amounts of spam at the mailserver level, but without resorting to heavyweight statistical analysis or other heuristical (and error-prone) approaches. For more info about how this works, have a look at the Greylisting.org website.
