« on: February 18, 2009, 10:52 PM »
Though I doubt the whole presentation was made on paper, I found it rather innovative/cute.

It turned out that she used Microsoft Outlook to send her email but Wegman’s email system failed to recognize the proprietary HTML tags of Outlook and hence this goof-up.

General Software Discussion / How do I stop selling myself v1agra?

Just when you think your inbox is invincible, you start getting junk from the one person you don't want to start blacklisting online... "yourself"!

I would just mark my own addresses as junk (in my offline client) but I do occasionally mail myself stuff from the phone.  And I'm an "approved sender" so the images and god knows what else start loading immediately. I don't think I'm running a zombified machine and I'm at a complete dead end on this one - how do I stop junk messages when they appear to originate from my own address?

Lifehacker blogged about Everything, a search app similar to AvaFind (mini review), yesterday.
Both these are file name, and not context indexing tools. Both index files in realtime, unlike the universal favorite, Locate.


Some ways in which Everything differs from Avafind -

  • Boolean & Regex support.
  • Highlighting the searched text within results.
  • It doesn't allow blocking specific folders from being indexed
  • No recently launched/downloaded files panes like Avafind
  • Eerily fast indexing (seeing is believing!)

Everything is under 300 KB & free. I'd say it still has some important features missing but this app looks very promising, totally worth taking for a spin.
