Greetings, Roosl,
I have just a little news and catching up to do
(finally), and I also want to welcome you new
subscribers.
Again I claim to have been very busy at the full time
day gig, but I do have some fruitful efforts on design
and software work via Roosl's Graphic Design I want
to let you know about.
I have good news regarding software updates, but all
the artwork I expended time toward was for some
animation and graphic work for a few private
deliverables and some fun stuff for my team at Wells
Fargo.
I do hope this finds you well, and however you find
the time of year where you are, I hope you enjoy the
autumn and the approaching holidays.

OK, What is it?
In the last issue I posted this small image in
remarking the events and passing of the last 10
years. Do you know what it is?
It's our home planet Earth, as seen from Voyager
when it was leaving our solar system.
Keep on truckin' 'cause time keeps on slippin'...
So.. Onward, eh?
I've released some very nice upgrades to many of
my software offerings, and done some work on new
developments not quite ready for prime time..
As part of Roosl's Graphic Design's 10th anniversary,
I've had a couple of free offers posted (did you miss
them?), and currently have another in my Software
pages!
So, check out the news and views and please visit
soon and often!

| Software Update |
Significant upgrades of Roosl's software packages are
now available. While you may not have a version of a
particular release below, I've combined all the update
news in this letter (and hey, perhaps you want to try
one you don't have!)...
Roosl's Mail Filter 4.0 has many performance
improvements..
New in this release...
- Enhanced startup, preview scanning and rule
parsing.
- New, detailed load and scan progress
indicators.
- Improved rule memory management.
- Improved rule parsing provides better speed
during each scan.
- Each scan remembers new messages, providing
more improved speed in subsequent scans.
- Several features that were disabled during the
free trial in previous versions are now always
functional.
- Bundled blocking rules (which I've been building
for 3 years now) include many new offshore IP
address ranges and effectively block more than 85%
of spam from those domains.
- Several annoyance (bug) fixes.
Copious details regarding these and other important
features are in the
updated description/download page
and included in the bundled (also improved) user
guide.
This is the best yet. If you haven't tried it, go
grab a 30 day free trial. If you have it, go grab an
upgrade!
Many other programs have also been
updated.
New in all releases...
- All have improved installation, registration and
setup (including allowance for your non-existent C:
drive).
- All have performance improvements.
- Various minor bug (annoyance) fixes.
Don't forget to check out all the software selections
in my Custom Windows Software section! And
remember.. Support is always just an e-mail away!
Please see the details and many features of each
these programs at the updated
description/download page. Download links will
also be found there.
Notice: Similar to how anti-spam software can
sometimes mistake valid e-mail as spam, some anti-
spyware programs can mistake benign software as
spyware. A recent release of one vendor's spyware
definitions mistook one of my distributions as such. I
assure you that I will never release such software. If
your anti-spyware program thinks that anything you
have from me is such, you may confidently flag it
as "ignore", or "keep" (depending on your anti-
spyware settings). You have my promise that there is
no malicious code! The current upgrades have not
caused any new false alarms.

| Oh, yeah.. the Gallery |
OK, so when was the last time you kept your new
year's resolution? I actually did spend some time on
imagery since my last notes, but alas, it was not
toward my online gallery.
I do see that most visitors spend most time viewing
the gallery, and each week as I read the reports of
my site visitors (hits, pages and images viewed), I
make another mental note to get some new work
done!
I do still have plans for some new artwork. I know I
just need to wrap up these other projects and
prioritize some fun time! Oh, wait, it's all fun.. but
still...

God,
While we worry and complain, while we want and
wish, while we waste so much time and effort
selfishly...
Thank You for your guidance and the opportunities
that guidance has provided, and for your
forgiveness.. As I don't need times and things past
and sometimes worry needlessly about tomorrow.
Thank You for the times and things that are passed,
and for the tomorrow that my time today, and the
perspective you show me will bring.
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...

See you soon! Be careful out there and have a
wonderful holiday season!

Hey, here's an idea...
You know how people are always forwarding bad
jokes, hoaxes, scams and chain letters via e-mail?
I'm thinking it would really great if you forwarded this
newsletter to all your friends!
Just don't go telling them that I'll track this e-mail
and give them $25,000, because that's just wrong.
