AOL and Yahoo have announced they will allow companies to pay them money to guarantee their emails will get past the spam filters and appear certified. I don’t like this at all. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think it’s all too easy once this kicks in for companies who aren’t paying to get past the spam filters to suddenly find themselves sucked in. Kinda like the Mobster movies where the shop owner who doesn’t buy “protection” gets his store trashed. And what’s to stop them from extending this to us, the normal guys? Email is wonderful and powerful because it’s free! I can shoot off as many emails as I want all over the world without paying $0.39-$2 to get it to the person. Therefore I can send an email just to let someone know I’m thinking of them. I don’t have to come up with a whole letter to justify the cost. I hope I’m wrong. Darn spammers messing up the net for the rest of us!

GRAMPS 2.2 development
Category: Computers |
Leave a Comment
I have mentioned using GRAMPS for a few posts already. I decided to head on over to their site and see what was on the plate for the next release, version 2.2. I am extremely excited!
The map view, if it’s included looks to be amazing! As you can see if you follow the link, it will show where all the events have taken place.
The pedigree view is much more vibrant now, instead of a dull black and white. It also appears to display more information.
Here’s another version of the pedigree view where the person’s picture is included.
Overall there are some pretty neat changes going on. I didn’t agree with all that I saw, but overall, it seems to be getting much better with each release. Here’s the proposed changelog for 2.2
