TECH: My “Bat Line” for urgent contact

People have expressed interest in my “Bat Line” for urgent email contact.

I use different email accounts for different purposes and handle a LOT of email. So, it would be nice to have a spam free channel for urgent emails. Outlook rules move mail to the correct account if someone uses an odd one wrong.

A gmail id was created just for this purpose with one of my “patented” email addresses (i.e., long random gibberish string for the name). So it’s unguessable or find-able by the alpha spammers. I also use
But, friends, Customers, and others who know my system can get my immediate attention by putting a message in via this mechanism.

If I’m on any one of my computers, then the IM client tied to that email address will fire and alert me of “incoming” on that special account. I attend to anything coming in on that one ASAP.

It’s my signal to don my cape and save the world. :-)  At least in my own mind!

Questions?

LAS VEGAS (AP) – A high school valedictorian who had the plug pulled on her microphone as she gave an address referring to Jesus Christ sued school officials Thursday, saying her rights to religious freedom and free speech were trampled on.

That’s the problem with gubamint skoolz. First Amendment says the gubamint has NO right to prevent free speech. Any time one is placed in a situation where you have conflict, then you have to go back and study the rules. In this case, her free speech rights trump the gubamint. If it was a private institution, then the administration could enforce whatever rules it chose. See those administrators don’t see themselves as part of an oppressive gubamint. But they are. To the students of that skool, I’d say “learn what’s in store for you”. You’ll see the boot of the gubamint soon when you get your first job, your first car, or take your first trip. Remember that when the revolution starts.
