Well today saw another random 419’er drop on my virtual doorstep.
Here is a link explaining What a 419’er is
He violated no less than 75% of my IM rules.
My IM rules are basically sent to anyone who IM’s me that I don’t know. Within 2 lines they get the URL (which officially will change to a tinyurl ref: http://tinyurl.com/2nprbg)
Personally, there are a couple of things I wish you could do in the IM world:
1) Hit a spam button which gets your IM account and IM’s temporarily monitored
2) Auto send a link, document to anyone who IM’s you for the first time.
3) have some recourse other than “Block” against abuse.
Just my $0.02 for the day.

(the all famous, all pronouncing, all everything) THEY say admitting you have a problem is half the battle.
I thought about this this morning while working on code.
I thought… well, admitting there is a problem is half the battle.
Finding the problem is half of what is left
Identifying and understanding the specifics of the problem is half of what’s left
finding the solution to the specific problem is half of what is left
implementing the solution is half of what is left.
Testing that this was the right solution is half of what is left.
Accepting the change is half of what is left.
Leaving extra room for all the other problems you’ll need to fix once you’ve fixed this one.
That’s right. Fixing yourself is hard because it is the ultimate Zeno’s Paradox.
