Given that I think it missed 10-12 messages in the first week I had it installed, the accuracy is quite good. I just loved JunkMatcher, but as far as I can tell, it’s a dead project. The bug that causes Python to grab 100% of the processor is a killer. So, SpamSieve is my solution of choice. SS gets bonus points for the line that reads: 0 False Positives.
Coolest NEW programs released on OS X
- Yojimbo
- QuickSilver (OK, it’s been out a while, but it’s still in beta, and it’s new to me)
- TextMate 1.5
- MythFrontEnd (would link to it, but it seems they are having domain issues at the moment)
- I don’t know if Lightroom Beta 2 is cool or not. I’m about to go try it out. But they did remember to add a crop tool this time.
Silly joke
A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! “You need to use ‘Big People’words,” she was always reminding them.
She asked Chris what he had done over the weekend. “I went to visit my Nana.” “No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use ‘Big People’ words!”
She then asked Mitchell what he had done. “I took a ride on a choo-choo.” She said “No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use ‘Big People’ words.”
She then asked little Alec what he had done. “I read a book,” he replied. “That’s WONDERFUL!” the teacher said. “What book did you read?”
Alec thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said, “Winnie the SHIT.”
