Too much email on the brain

Last night I was cruising through our local news website. I see the headline New SPF guidelines coming our way.
My first thought was, “Wow, SPF made the paper?” Now, I live in the SF Bay area so there are a lot of technology related stories that hit our paper which might not see the light of day in other areas. But, still: new SPF guidelines hit the local paper before I’ve heard about it? That seems a little strange.
Then I notice that it’s in the “Living” section. That’s even stranger.
Oh, well, if there’s new SPF stuff, I’d better click and see what is going on with SPF. The internal headline is Beauty Tuesday: New SPF guidelines accompanied by a picture of sunscreen. It was only then I realized it wasn’t about sender policy framework but was about sun protection.
A bit of a picard-facepalm2 moment for me.
Happy Friday, everyone.

Long posts and little time to write them

It seems I’ve hit the wall on short and easy blog posts to write recently. There’s a lot I want to talk about like the recent changes at Spamhaus, filtering in the upcoming year and where I see the industry going, some thoughts on DKIM and how folks are using it. All of these things, though, will take some focused writhing time. And right now most of my focused writing time is spent on customer work.
I don’t even have time to read other blogs to comment on things folks are saying.
So blogging is likely to be light over the next few weeks, although I’m going to try very hard to get posts up 3 times a week.

Thanks, Al

A giant, very public thank you to Al for volunteering to mind the blog while Steve and I made an emergency trip to the UK. There was once or twice I noticed something that I thought “I should take a second and blog about this” only to discover Al was way ahead of me and had already posted it.
Both of us picked up some sort of ugly cold while we were there so it will be a couple days before blogging will be back to normal here.
