Good job. I also don't really care about reputation points but it's nice to see decent ratings on an article and the points and ranking that come with writing them. (Which reminds me I should probably write one or two more, it's been a while.)

Thanks for the kind words, VB excepted and appreciated.

Flicking through the music channels on telly last night and purely by chance heard this for the first time.
Chvrches - Lies[^]
It has an elctro-pop feel to it in a Gary Numan - Cars[^] kind of way. The vocal reminded me of another favourite of mine Röyksopp - What Else Is There?[^]. In fact, I originally thought it might have been the same girl doing the vocal. However, turns out that it is actually a relatively new Scottish group that have just started to break out in 2013 
Anyway, time to hit the play button again while doing the morning report!

unfortunately i am not allowed to listen to "Lies" due to our national "Company for musical representation and duplication rights" aka GEMA... 
but röyksopp is "permitted"...
very good track, thanks for sharing.
i knew them from their "musical Liaison" with Robyn....
clickety[^]
so, in order to give an advice, too, i would highly recommend Terry Lee Brown jr ft Timewriter[^]. the Music and the Video are awesome IMHO...

I am sure if you search Youtube for it you will find it, there are a stack of videos on it, from live sets, to TV, to the official one etc. One of them is bound to work!

Okay, i´ll give that a try right after posting...thanks!
at the Moment i´m listening to now is not the time[^]
very fine Music, too...

okay, i found it.
pretty cool
thanks again for sharing it. one can never have enough good Music...

Well, GMail is now going to make it easier to see when your emails have been opened thanks to automatically opening images. A bit of a gift to Outlook.com that one. Link[^]

Interesting why they have changed the default.
Of course, the only info someone can get is when the email was opened - which I suppose suggests that thee's a live human at the end of the line - but I wonder what made Google change?

This[^] article in the Insider tells you the probable official reason.

Interesting - I hadn't realised they were caching the images and modifying the emails! Clever chaps, those google folk!

I wonder if Google could just open emails when their servers receive them rather than when a user views them (caching them images on their server, of course). That would essentially mean the sender would always see the images as loading right after the emails are sent, making that metric useless.
|
|
|
|
|
That appears to be essentially what they are doing - although they are modifying your email to point to their cached image rather than just opening it and throwing the image away.
I just hope they keep the original URL in the email somewhere so, if I want to, I can see where the original image came from.

It would still let the spammers confirm that your email address is "live".

Couldn't users just do this[^]?

They can, but how obvious is this going to be to Joe Average?
|
|
|
|

True, but Joe Average prolly never filtered images anyway.
I think their stance on cached images actually helps novice users because it prevents spammers from knowing that they've reached a legit email address.

Pretty standard fare all round.
However, and this is where it is sexy, It is clean!
It only has the Accounts package, Office, Thunderbird, Filezilla, Firefox and VS.
Nothing else!
I am going to try to keep it as clean as I can for as long as I can.
Obviously there will be odds and sods added over time, but no dross or dead wood.
It took bloody ages to get everything installed and updated.
(2 days in fact!)
I am looking forward to the weekend when I can get in and do some work on it.

Don't use it!!!
I fear it will quickly be load with heaps of stuff as soon as you start using it!!!
And don't connect to the internet! It's much more secure that way!
