Spam from Hell
by Dennis Gaskill Just when you thought spammers couldn't sink any lower - they do. I received spam from a "company" regarding the foreign exchange market. I wasn't even going to read it as I already knew it was spam, but when I clicked the mail in my inbox to delete it, it launched my browser, minus the tool bar. Not having the tool bar meant I couldn't close the browser by clicking the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the program. So OK, I right-clicked on the button on the task bar—you can close a browser that way too, just right-click and select Close. Guess what? The Close option was grayed out, the web page was coded so that there was no obvious way to close the browser. This was a spammer with no sense of decency at all. On the web page was a form to fill out to for information. In others words, he'll have it on record that you requested more information so he can legally spam you until you can't eat any more. It's sad to think how many people will fill out that form thinking it's the only way to get out of that mess. I imagine many just turned off their computer by pushing the power button too, and that isn't good for the operating system. That's why I'm going to tell you how to close that spammers window without sending any information. I don't want you to suffer from this low-life's attempts to shove his crap down your throat. Here's how: Press and hold the Ctrl, Alt, and Del keys at the same time and then release, this will open the Close Program dialog. Select the spammer's dirty little page from the list of programs running and click the End Task button. If you have another browser window open this will probably close it too, but the spammer's plans will be thwarted, at least as far as you're concerned. One last thing, it doesn't seem to do any good to set up filters to filter this classless wart's email. After setting up an elaborate set of filters to block that mail, I received another one just like it. Everything was different; the sender, the subject line, even the send to line. There is no message in the body of the email, just embedded code to launch the browser. May the Elephant Bird of Paradise fly over this spammers head and drop a steaming, stinking ton of . . . you get the idea.

To Catch a Content Thief
by Dennis Gaskill If you're wondering if your intellectual content is being stolen and used by content thieves—if it's good, it probably is! There are several ways to catch content thieves. Of course, sometimes you just get lucky and either stumble across it while surfing or someone that knows you or recognizes your content reports another site to you that is using your material, and I've had both those things happen. There are other ways that rely less on luck and more on intelligence though. Let's look at one way to catch someone who has stolen your textual content. You can usually find unique text passages in your textual content. There will usually be several long phrases or complete sentences that are unique to your writing. By copying and pasting these unique word groupings into a search engine, you can find other sites that have used these unique word groupings. Place your word grouping inside quotation marks before you search for them so that the search engine returns pages with that exact phrase, otherwise it will return pages that contain any of the search words. By doing this, any page that is registered with the search engine and has that exact word grouping on it will be brought up first in the search results. By visiting those pages you can determine if the page content was stolen from you. This is just one way to catch a content thief. There are other ways, and there are ways to catch image thieves as well, although that is much more difficult. This article was written and copyrighted by Dennis Gaskill of www.i-webmaster.org and is reprinted here with permission. You can learn more ways to catch a thief by becoming a member.
Another Telemarketer Meets "The Foil"
by Dennis Gaskill Another telemarketer met "The Foil" ...me. For the record, I always give telemarketers a chance to get off the line without a hassle. It's the ones who think they're going to BS their way past my first rebuff that get the treatment. *ring ring*
Me: Hello.
Me: Yes.
Me: You're the psychic, don't you know?
Me: I'm not interested (the rebuff, hang up pal or get the treatment). (he didn't take no for an answer, now he's in for it)
Me: What's in it for me?
Me: What's it cost?
Me: You said you contact interested parties. What made you think
I was an interested party, Betty?
Me: So you don't contact interested parties like you said, you
contact anyone and then try to determine if they're interested. Is
that correct, Edna?
Me (interrupting his attempt to verify whatever he wanted
to verify): Why did you lie to me then, Susan? That really hurts.
Me: Can you give my dog a reading? I forgot to get her a birthday
present and she just turned 3 today.
Me: Yeah, but don't tell my dog, she's getting really excited. Are
you a member of the foofingoofer party, Agnes?
Me: A member of the foofingoofer party . . . I don't trust foofingoofers,
not even for my dog's reading.
Me: Oh, so you discriminate against animals then. I'm calling the
ASPCA. What's your name, Hortence?
Me: Aha! So you don't want to be identified. What have you got to
hide, Carol with no last name?
Me: I told you that in the beginning but you wanted to waste my
time anyway. Would you like to waste some more time, Gertrude? You know, sometimes I almost enjoy persistent telemarketers.

Promote i-webmaster with an Email Signature
Adding an email signature can be a good way to promote a product. Most of the popular email programs have a handy "signature" feature that automatically adds any signature you want to the end of your email. Once set up, you can promote a product effortlessly.
If you use a signature file, you might want to shorten the URL because long URLS often get cut off so they aren't clickable. The easiest way to shorten an URL is to go to Tiny Url and have your long affiliate link converted into a short URL. It's a free service. Below are some sample email signatures you can try.
Webmasters take note: i-webmaster is the best place online to hone your craft.

The Life and Death of Dreams
by Dennis Gaskill To accomplish great things, you must dream great dreams. But dreaming alone won't bring them to life, you must believe in your dreams enough to take action. Without action, even the grandest of dreams will dissolve into the mists of time when left unnurtured. The life and death of your dreams depend on you. Do you dare to be a dreamer? Prepare to go it alone. Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown, between the visible and the invisible, between what is and what could be. As you dance your dreams into reality, those who can't hear the music of your soul may think you a fool. Pay no heed to those who would kill your dreams, small minds always do that. Great minds will encourage you that you can do great things too. Afraid you haven't got what it takes? Then get it! Feed your mind. Your mind grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it. The diet of the mind is what gives you the confidence, courage, knowledge, and the direction you need to succeed in reaching your dreams—or keeps you from them. You can build your mind up or let it slowly wither away. The choice is yours and you make it every day. Choose wisely and well, it's your own self that is at stake.

Guess Who?
by Dennis Gaskill So there I was minding my own business standing in line at the checkout counter at Target when someone came up from behind me and covered my eyes with his fingers and said, "Guess who?" After two guesses and two misses, I gave up and turned around. I didn't recognize the guy. I asked him, "do I know you?" "Nope," he says smiling. "That's what makes it so hard." Then he walked away, still smiling. It was an odd moment, but I kinda liked that guy. He knows how to make his own fun. Sometimes we just need to remember that it's our attitude that is the most important factor in the quality of our day. There are many things we have little or no control over, but our attitude is something we can control. If we let anything other than our own free choice determine our attitude we are not in as much control as we'd like to believe. Taking charge of our attitude is the single most critical factor that influences our success, our relationships, our happiness, and our future. Choose yours with care, everything hinges on it.

My Dirty Socks
by Dennis Gaskill A good friend of mine was watching TV a while back when the screen went blue. One of those little broadcast glitches. She confessed, her first thought was "Darn it, now I've got to reboot again!" As soon as she told me that she realized this was the kind of thing I might write about. She said she kind of wished she hadn't told me that, and referred to it as a typo! That's the first time I'd ever heard of an oral typo, or rebooting your TV for that matter. Do you think she's been on the computer too much lately? Her wacky way of wording words are very amusing and lovable, but she didn't want me to write about them, even if I didn't identify her. She figured some people would know it was her. When you have a large audience, even your friends fear you sometimes! So anyway, I told her I wouldn't write an article about her goofy ways, so this article is about my dirty socks—just not very much of it is about them.

The Ticking Bag
by Dennis Gaskill I have a friend I nicknamed Lucy because of the humorous situations she gets herself into, like Lucille Ball did on the old I Love Lucy show. She works in a job where she has to make after-hours bank deposits for her employer. She was in a hurry a while back and dropped her cell phone in the bank bag. She forgot to take it out when she deposited the bag at the bank's night drop. When she went to the bank the next morning to retrieve her phone, the place was swarming with police officers. As it turns out, her phone makes a ticking noise when she has messages, and the bank personnel feared there was a bomb in the bag. She told the sherriff what she did, everyone had a good laugh but my embarrassed friend, then the sherriff gave her a hug and told her to be good. Yep, I love Lucy, and that's a fact.
