Greetings!
I hope you had a nice quiet Thanksgiving holiday. I
apologize for having not sent a November issue. I got
so involved in various things, that by the 10th time I
had kicked myself for it, November was gone!
Having said that, one big reason for being so busy is in
this issue...
Developments
In the last issue, I mentioned beginning work on a
project to create 3D models of the human form to use
in future imagery. I did make quite some progress, but
as I said, and as you might imagine, the details are a
lot of work. I did put that project on hold though, and
hope to resume work on it soon.
The big news is a new endeavor: Customized Software!
I've begun building some specialized programs for
Windows. As this progresses, I'll be designing a new
section at the website for this. When folks have a
special need, or "gee. I wish I had a tool that could..",
I can develop a quick solution. Also, I'll be posting more
software for general use and needs, such as my new
Spam Blocker Mail Filter, which I'll tell you about below!
Is there a custom tool you wish you had for your
Windows system? Let me know! Perhaps I can build it
for you.
Now, be certain to find out about Roosl's Mail Filter!

My two cents |
 |
|
I've often written a tirade here about spam, fraud and
the related abuse the internet and we, its users and
hopeful contributors, deal with.
I'll not go there this issue. Instead, I'll tell you about a
new tool I've developed, and hope you find an interest
in it. Better yet, that you'll find it also helps you to
laugh off the spam, and perhaps you'll like it enough to
tell everyone you know about it.
If we don't hear from each other this month, I pray you
and yours have a wonderful holiday season!
This section is where usually I put my two cents, and I
welcome and appreciate your opinions and feedback.
Please don't hesitate to let me know what you think,
whether it's about this newsletter, the website, or
anything else!

Roosl's Mail Filter |
|
We would all like to stop junk mail before it gets to our
PC, right? Have you wished you could see what
garbage was on the mail server, so that you could
delete it before you start your e-mail client? Would you
like to have it deleted from the server, but also know
exactly what got deleted? Would you like to know what
mail was out there before you start your client, so you
could decide whether to even start your client? Would
it also be cool to know when "preferred" senders had
sent you something, even if your client wasn't running?
How about if you could block spam with a simple, easily
accessible list in a text file, and if you could block spam
subjects with wildcards? Me too! Hey, enough wishing...
I've tried several things in the past with my e-mail
client, and always waited for it to download a bunch of
garbage before I could even see what "blocking rules" I
wish I had first. I recently tried a filter program that I
wasn't confident with, and I couldn't see exactly what
it was doing. So, I decided to write my own! About a
week into that, I decided to develop it into a complete
filter program that others would want to have, and
make it one that addressed all my wishes, and is easy
to use.
So... Here it is, Roosl's Mail Filter! A complete, feature
rich e-mail filter and spam blocker. It includes an
extensive detailed user guide, built in dial up networking
support, and is just pretty darn cool (if I do say so
myself)!
I hope you'll check it out. Read all about it, and even
review the user guide online. Then try it! You'll like it!
Let me know what you think!

As always, make a time and space for God...
Forever grateful to God for His given blessings, I can't
say enough about what His presence and meaning are
to me in my daily life...
If God is your co-pilot, swap seats.
