I just got three MySpace spams in the course of three minutes. What fun.

I would so much prefer MySpace to actually forward/redirect their messages to my e-mail address. Then I could filter it for spam myself based on the content/sender. But as it stands now, MySpace only sends you a notification of new messages and you have to log in to their blasted website to read the message. So my options are limited: 1) deal with the dumb notifications or 2) turn off notifications entirely, which I prefer not to do. I suppose the other option is to only accept messages from persons on my friends list, but I thought I did that already and the spam keeps coming through. Come on, MySpace, get your act together!

I’ve spent the last day integrating the amavisnewsql plugin with Squirrelmail and figuring out how to use my custom and separate alias maps and virtual alias maps in postfix. The workaround came by putting the alias map hash in the virtual_alias_maps list. This treated all of my local alases like virtual aliases and caused Postfix to rewrite them so that the amavis-new SQL lookup would match my custom SpamAssassin level settings to me and not ignore the email that was previously addressed to my alias and, amavis thought, to someone else.

Yes, what publicity blitz would be complete for our show without the mention in Variety?

Restrain my heart from leaping forth towards every light it sees
my solitary soul yearns what my heart would deign appease

but soon it jumps too eagerly at every flitting chance
or even passing prospect of a tentative romance

restrain my heart for in its joys a thousand sorrows lie
in stirring of its passion best a hundred hopes do fly

restrain my heart for in the end it matters not upon
if loves light fight is won or lost as scarring wounds sting on

restrain my heart my shouts and pleas but fall upon deaf ears
my heart seeks only joy and love not bitterness and tears

I just thought some of y’all might want to know about one of the best pizza joints in the Denver Metro area, Rico’s Pizzeria.

I don’t work for them nor have they compensated me for these words, except with their great food; I figured it was time I shared this little secret with the rest of the world. I’m addicted to their pepperoni subs. Next time you’re in Englewood, stop by. I always eat take-out but go ahead and dine in if there’s room.

You won’t hear the official announcement until Friday, but we’re adding 5 shows:

Holly Bartges seemed to like it. But don’t take my word for it, read the review for yourself.
