Spam spam spam! Yes, that is what I am getting in my inbox these days. I should really just find a damn filter for Outlook Express. Does anyone know of a good one? Ryan talked about blocking downloading images from a remote site. If I could set this up with a on / off switch, I think that would really help things out. Spam is just really starting to piss me off too much. And it seems to ramp up and then go down a lot of the time. *sigh* Just another cross that I have carry.

My stupid school has done it again. They took my pass / fail course and changed it. My "pass" changed into a "satisfactory". They still have a pass there... but no fail anymore. Does that mean that I have now failed my course? I don't think so, or there will be words spoken. But it sure sounds a lot crappier than getting a pass. What the hell is wrong with my school? They never tell us of any changes they do. They just seem to push them through and don't say shit. I SO want to have a meeting with the dean now... and / or go to one of those feedback meetings just to tell them how much they suck. I mean really, how freaking hard would it be to tell everyone that these things effect. This is a bad example, but let's choose another one like, say, changing the program that people are in. Tell the people who the changes affect. *grumble*

One of the things that I have learned after being at work a couple of days is just how far I am behind with web technologies. It isn't really funny at all. My knowledge is old, half learned, and spotty, it's not cool. One of the things that I had no idea is how there are all kinds of standards at w3 for accessing web pages for people with disabilities. Like for all the blind people reading the web... I had no idea. But, of course it is something that I have to be aware of and code for while at work. Oie, I have to get back to doing my co-op report. :-(
