This is a global e-mail announcement.

As a result of getting so much spam a day (over 300 in fact), I will no longer be sorting through my spam folder. Any e-mails that get flagged as spam will now be automatically deleted without warning. While this may affect a minority of people that send me e-mail, I feel that the number of spam I receive and the havoc that it creates on my server outweighs the one or two e-mails that sometimes end up in my spam folder as a false positive.

You may fall into the category of affective people if you e-mail from yahoo.com, hotmail.com, or other popular web-based e-mails (gmail, for now, seems unaffected). If you are e-mailing me from one of these providers, you may prepend your subjects with "[NOT SPAM]".

If you get a reply, it means that I’ve added you to my whitelist and will no longer have to prepend your messages.

Sorry for the inconvenience folks.

I’ll be updating the site this Thursday so parts of the site will be down.

Things should be up and running by Friday.

I’ve opened up comments on this blog entry. I’m wondering how many people would be interested if I opened up comments on my blog.

I initially turned them off by default because there was no way to screen them. However, I think the at this point, I’d like to give people a chance to respond. The rules would be the same as my livejournal blog:

• All comments must be signed!!! Any unsigned entries will get deleted.
• Absolutely no profanity.
• Comments cannot go off-topic.

Let me know what you guys think

Attention RSS Feed Aggirators

You may be wondering why my feeds are sometimes really weird. They are often marked up like [http://www.amazon.com/|this] and you probably find that really annoying.

Well, it’s because I’ve implemented a wiki-based blog system to make my blog entries easier and faster. I’m working to see if I can get the RSS feed to show you an HTML converted version but I’m having some difficulty.

Remember, you can see the page correctly formatted on http://www.mikesoh.com. If you have questions, feel free to e-mail me.
