Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Well, if I have a 'from due date' recurring task, it pops up again for me on that day of the week, for example, whether or not I've completed it. But 'from completed date' only pops it up again after I've marked it done.
So for example, I set up 'take out recycling' as an every two weeks task on a Monday. I might miss getting it done this Monday, but maybe I finish it next Wednesday. If I'd scheduled it as 'from due date' it would show up immediately again to do (for the past Monday). But in reality, there's no more recycling to take out, and won't be until some accumulates. So I schedule it as recurring 'from completed date' and once I check it done on Wednesday, it won't show up again until the next scheduled date in the future, i.e. the following Monday.
Yeah, me too. I'm in. I like it. I just want it to work completely. Like with working hours for unncompleted task notification. I don't need to know on Sunday while I'm watching football that I didn't get the bank stuff done. I can't do anything about it until Monday, so leave me alone, Astrid!
Is anyone else getting a TON of Google/YouTube spam/phishing emails? Two of my alias email accounts are getting barraged with them. Like 3-4 a day. (OK, barraged might be over-hyping it, but 3-4/day x 2 email accounts that spill into one Inbox is 6-8 at a glance.)
I always mark spam as spam and google does a good job of learning moving spam into spam box with false positives and false negatives being rare.
Google has been slower for me than usual though.
OS X mail doesn't have any heuristics, right? No Bayesian shit happening in the background?
Because many of my primary email accounts don't come through gmail. My domain host is decent at cutting out much of the spam, but it's tiresome how often I still see the exact same shit come through. At least with Eudora I felt I was accomplishing something by junking.
I assume there's something in the algorithm that makes tossing duplicates of things you've marked as spam, but the visible body text is often repeated (AFAICT) multiple times over a month. It's tiring...
I end up paying Google for Postini. I haven't found anything else works as well.
For most purposes Google has great spam filters. Though they failed for ita !'s photo sight cause she gets legit mail with words like "naked" and "hot" in them. I wonder if Google is missing a niche market by not selling a tweaked version of their spam filter as a service to people who run sites where you might need need exceptions to the standard filter.
Yeah, I might need to pay for Postini.
I'm also getting a ton of spam to my donations address. Whereas the dirty address that I use deliberately to fill in web forms? Totally clean. IDEK.
