Outlook 2003 Junkmail Filter Broken… Again…

by @ 10:00 am. Filed under tech

So I uninstalled Microsoft Expressions Web 1 and installed Microsoft Expressions Web 2 on my main workstation (SFMFXP32) this weekend. Then a familiar problem popped up which kind of ticks me off as I bugged this with Microsoft quite some time before and I know people have been complaining about it since at least 2006. The Outlook 2003[1] Junkmail Filter stopped working.

Thankfully the same fix I found before worked again…

Go into control panel, add/remove programs, tick Show Updates, go down to Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, click on Update for Outlook 2003: Junk E-Mail Filter (KBxxxxxx):OUTFLTR, Click on Remove.

Then go to Microsoft Update and click Custom and install the Outlook Junk Mail Filter Update. After the installation is done, restart Outlook. Junk Mail filter should be working again.

[1] Yes yes I haven’t upgraded to O2K7 on this machine yet. I planned on doing it when I upgrade it to Vista which also hasn’t happened as it will be a good amount of work. I do run Vista and O2K7 on my main laptop though.

A product marketing manager from Quest Software sent me this link…

For those of you from the 80’s music era will recognize… this was inspired by the Beastie Boys and of course the Beastie Boys rock.

The guys are from Quest Sales Team and they are

Nick Dean

Michael St. Pierre

Kristian Vandemark

 

Good job guys. 🙂

For the next Beastie’s homage I think they should put Vladimir Turin in as a Rick Rubin knockoff. ;o)

How did you spend your Memorial Weekend (US Holiday)?

by @ 9:39 pm. Filed under house stuff

Well I did a lot of cleanup around the yard, got a lot of sore muscles, nice sunburn which my Filipino blood has turned to tan now and had several beautiful bonfires…. Some people go camping, I go to my back yard, play all day, and then sleep in my nice pillowtop mattress bed. 😉

Here is a before and after so far on the pond work. I need a little boat to go clean up more in the water itself.

Also the Red Bull Air Race is coming to Detroit this coming weekend and our local airport was hopping. I saw some planes I hadn’t seen before, much slicker jobs though not the ones they use in the Red Bull races. Also a lot of folks out doing aileron rolls and other tricks which was a lot of fun to watch. For an idea of how close the airport is, here are a couple of pics of planes on approach for the north south runway… Some people say that it is annoying, I love planes myself so I enjoy watching them come in and take off. The helicopters that buzz around though I could do without.

Family…

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

ID Theft Security Company CEO Gets ID Stolen

by @ 8:47 am. Filed under general

I always thought this company had a great hook for their advertising but would never trust technology to the extent he says it could be trusted when he gave out his SS# during the ad.

 

ID Theft Security Company CEO Gets ID Stolen

After putting his social security number in ads as part of the marketing strategy of its company, the CEO of LifeLock, Todd Davis, has gotten his identity stolen. His ID information has been used to make a loan of $500 dollars.

A year ago, a Texas man used Davis’ Social Security number to get a $500 payday advance loan. Davis points out that the check cashing company made no attempt to verify the identity, which he believes would have stopped the theft cold, but says that’s not the important part of the story.

As soon as this has been made public, several lawsuits started against the company regarding the fact that it does not offer the protection it says it does, and that it charges for actions people can take for themselves for free.
Todd Davis replied to the accusations by saying that if his social security number has been seen by everybody looking at the company ads for the past two years, and only one attempt has succeeded in using it, then this is a proof that the service does work.

During the past two years, there have been allegedly 87 ID steeling attempts, twenty of them regarding people trying to use the information for obtaining driving licenses. Even though some of them were successful, LifeLock’s CEO considers that only the $500 loan case was a failure of the company’s system.

Mr. Davis states that people that thought that LifeLock offers 100 percent protection against ID theft, have gotten the wrong idea. According to him, there are no legal actions a company can do to fully prevent this sort of fraud, and that this claim can be found on LifeLock’s website also.

At this moment, Mr. Davis’s company offers ID fraud protection for 1 million members, and its service has failed for supposedly only 105 of them. LifeLock ‘s $1 Million Total Service Guarantee completely covered every one of them.

What can I say…

The other day Plato and a Platypus walked into a bar. The bartender gave the philosopher a quizzical look, and then Plato said, “What can I say? She looked better in the cave.”

Don’t turn away from possible futures before you’re certain you don’t have anything to learn from them.

What would you do…

“And what would you do,” the Master said unto the multitude, “if God spoke directly to your face and said, ‘ I command that you be happy in the world, as long as you live.’ What would you do then?”
