rare pattern thoughts in a blog http://rarepattern.com/node/131/atom/feed 2007-04-02T17:36:09-05:00 My 5p4m-less life http://rarepattern.com/nodes/2007/04/my-5p4m-less-life 2007-04-02T17:35:18-05:00 2007-04-02T17:36:09-05:00 Laura Scott I have a new technological love affair: SpamSieve. 200+ fewer love notes in my in-box every day.

Alas, I'll just have to do without all that helpful unsolicited information. I'll miss notices that I need to go tell my bank my bank account number. I'll not see all those customer inquiries about my eBay items I didn't realize I'd put up for auction. I'll be oblivious to the fact that I've been approved for a $347,978 mortgage. Warnings to avoid enhancement pills will escape my notice. Forget about cureall [sic] stores and veiny illustrations of male appendages. And the Nigerian Minister will just have to find another lucky soul.

I never realized just how much baseline stress receiving so much useless and offensive crap was causing me. My email is clean, and it's quite a lovely day today.
