Greetings!
Perhaps you've thought that Roosl dropped you like a
bad habit.
Well, I have dropped a few bad habits, but
unfortunately, you're not one of them!
Golden is my silence of late only because the reason
is I've just been too busy!
I've finally decided to sit down here and get a missive
out to you people just to let you know I do think
about you from time to time. As well, I've let some
news get stale which I'll dust off and offer some
actual news for your Holiday season.
Speaking of holidaze, I hope your times and trials
since our last contact have been good. With the
passing of Thanksgiving here in the land of the free,
and the approaching Hanukkah and Christmas season,
allow me to offer my best wishes to you and yours!

After working from home for the last couple of years,
I am reminded that having an outside day gig with a
long commute leaves one often too tired (or is it just
lazy?) to devote such coveted time to one's desired
tasks.
Hence, I haven't spent as much time here, and most
days I just check the mail (actually, the filter deletes
most of that from the server). I do post updates to
the website now and again, so you needn't spend so
much time on Ebay and otherwise succumb your mind
to rot elsewhere. Come on over for a visit now and
then!
Anyway, it took awhile to get used to the new, old
routine again, ya know?
Lately though, I've been working up to some weekend
time to devote to a newsletter, and now, finally a
quick how-do-you-do-whazzup.
One bit of news here is another household move,
though, so I definitely want to get out this little
shout before I must embark on that next exciting
logistics project!
So, between now and the next time, have a
wonderful holiday season!

In honor of the daily grind, I offer this work I did
awhile back, entitled "The Office".
Here is another
one.

| Software News |
Roosl's WhoIs/Web Utility provides methods of
identifying who web addresses belong (or are
registered) to. As well, using information such as
URLs (links), e-mail addresses, e-mail headers and
domain names, you can see where information really
comes from, and where URLs really take you when
you click on them, and even read the web page's
source code to see what it might be doing (such as
malevolent javascript) other than displaying
information.
NEW! This program actually came about as a
result of my investigation into (and curiosity about)
fraudulent "phishing" spam e-mail. As part
of the user guide (as examples of real use), I share
with you the actual e-mail data and the steps used
with this software to delve into the origin of the mail
and how the thieves "hijack" your
browser and a major bank's website.
Read all the details and review the
extensive user guide.

| Extreme Cutover |
Well, the cutover of the domain to the new
servers (and provider) this Summer went fairly well. I
don't know if you noticed or not, but we did have a
couple of issues.
I did have to "fail" back to my St. Louis provider
because my new e-mail service was broken. After
that was fixed, and the cutover was finally smooth,
the new server had a problem, and the site
disappeared for a short time!
All in all, though, these guys are really cool. Thanks
to everyone at ExtremeZone and also to AccessUS in
St. Louis for many years of great service!

God,
With all the Universe in your care,
With all the more important problems that demand
your Love on this Spaceship Earth,
As insignificant as my needs are in the Grand Scheme
of your design,
Thank you, with all my heart for your Time and
Blessings!
Forever grateful to God for His given blessings, I'll
never say enough about what His presence and
meaning are to me in my life...

| Roosl is Moving! (again?) |
Again? Yeah! This time though, it isn't
across the country. We're just moving up the
highway a bit.
For various good reasons, one of which has to do
with the proverbial daily commute, we're starting the
new year in Chandler, Arizona. Relevant info will be
passed along and posted on the Contact page!
