Standing Up to Spam!

Thanks to Carolyn's suggestion I installed MT-Blacklist. Although it can spot spam, the thing I like the most is that when you get your email notification of a comment, it has a link that allows you to delete and rebuild immediately. No going into your site - deleting - rebuilding separately. On the email front, I finally figured out how to configure my SpamAssassin. Now spam is marked and filtered right into a folder. So far only one miss - and that was an email from Sheep Thrills!

I spend the entire weekend putting together semester grades and comments for the reports cards, along with other paper shuffling that comes with starting a new semester. Last night I finally got to knit on the sage mohair while watching Independence Day. No Superbowl for me - not because the Eagles didn't make it into the Superbowl, but rather a decided disinterest in football.

I love getting packages. I found a copy of Nöel Bennett's Working With the Wool on Ebay and it came today. It's a cool little primer on Navajo rugs. Now where is my Thunderbird bead order????
