Spammers' Spamming was Clogging the Blogging

I will repost my one-word movie titles tomorrow. The problem of Spammers attacking blogger.com is now fixed (for good?).

I have a suggestion - all blogger.com accounts (old and new) should be forced into "Word Verification = ON" by default.

Roxio is the Happy Tree Friend of CD Burning Software Companies

Dear you@your.domain,

As a valued Roxio software owner, we would like to inform you that Easy CD Creator and Easy CD & DVD Creator is no longer supported by Roxio.

This means that we will not be releasing any new bug fixes (including support for new optical drives) and will not provide any phone or webticket support for these versions.

Our system shows that you have registered at least one of these products. If you own either product, you are eligible for special pricing on the latest supported version.

We recently introduced the latest version of the above software, Easy Media Creator 9 Suite.

To learn more about this new upgrade, please visit: www.roxio.com/creatorupgrade

-----------------------

ANYONE who was surprised by this should curl up in a little ball and fade away. Just as Roxio will.

Who is taking over Easy?

"HEY, dude! What"s with the name change?"

I took the name from a company that was apparently - for 6 months - either out of business or freakishly absent from the web, adding further mystery and intrigue to the WWW, and my lawyer advised me that since I do not sell products using this blog and websidestory.com does, I do not have to give them my blog name. So I will not. Not that there will be any future problems from said company, it's just that MY lawyer advises ME, and I usually follow that advise. Good hunting and be thinking Caddyshack 2 if you need to know what my lawyer is like.
