Spam: debjesusislord

I keep getting this email called “People on the Move” from “debjesusislord”. I don’t know why I ever started getting it in the first place, and I surely hope that this seemingly ministry-oriented person isn’t knowingly running a spam-campaign.

So, giving the benefit of the doubt, I tried sending emails to unsubscribe from the email list. I tried from a few different email addresses, just in case the TO field had to match up.

Regardless, all I got were bounced messages back from the offending email server, saying that the unsubscribe address wasn’t a valid address.

So—I’m left with the option of continuing to see these messages in my inbox or marking it as spam. Which, at this point, it is, since I don’t want it and have no real viable way of removing myself from the email list.

So, “debjesusislord” is now spam.

[nav links above do not lay out properly in some browsers]

I’m trying a slightly different layout with the nav links above, and they don’t lay out as I want in some browsers. They are fine in Firefox on the Mac, but not in IE or Safari on the Mac. I’m guessing there are some issues on Windows, but I don’t have the time to deal with it at the moment.

The issue is related to the css float property.

I’ll see what I can do over the next couple days.

MS Manual of Style has no “open source” entry

I was just drafting an email and wanted to know if there is a standard way of writing out “open source,” like, is it capitalized.

I happen to have the “Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications, Third Edition” on my desk, and I found no entry for anything resembling “open source” in it.

Somehow, I wasn’t surprised.
