“SMEARING” in message preview pane
POSTBOX2 Version 2.1.0 (PAID)
While the workaround — “click on the message” and read it in a new tab — works, it destroys the usability of it.
I’ve used Chrome, Safari, Opera, and Firefox. It’s no better.
It seems that the “rendering engine” of Postbox2 for HTML is slow, or broken.
I can’t believe that I am the only one who has this problem. If I am, why me? If not, why aren’t other screaming?

1. Describe the account you’re using.
Jasper Jottings Daily!!!
https://jxymxu7sn5ho9d.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php
WORDPRESS hosted at wordpress
2. If the issue involves communication with your blog system
A post is being made. It was placed on the blog correctly from what I can tell.
3. Some odd hang-up?
Nothing appears to hang.
4. Crash?
Doesn’t crash
5.
I wrote and pushed a post with a forward time stamp. (The whole rationale for ECTO is it is easier than using the WordPress web page. Time setting is still not as easy as it could be, but that’s another matter.)
In looking at the post about an hour LATER, I see it is truncated. Argh!
Quick like a bunny, I go up and see the post is complete in WordPress. Againlike a bunny, I make a backup copy of my pearls of wisdom.
Then, I do “retrieve posts”. The target post comes back complete.
But when I open it, it is truncated.
(We have had this symptom before. Where posts or partial posts are produced but then don’t display correctly int he Client side software. A while ago. But it was never resolved. Haven’t seen it in a while. I think, always suspected, that there is crud in the underlying copy. Maybe an unprintable character or some such?)
Help.
# # # # #
Argh! I hate having “problems”. The ECTO folks are good in support. Just not there on Sunday. Argh!
At least, the post is up for publishing correctly. And, I have a copy.
I think that I have to now reorganize how I do the blog posts.
More work for me. But, I have to keep a running backup of the post. Perhaps prep it in a WP, instead of using the ECTO Client.
Argh!
That’s a waste of the old technology budget.
The downside is that my pearls might be lost. But, then I have learned that pearls aren’t worth much on the resale market! Argh squared!

GOOGLECHROME, aka CHROME, goes into my doghouse and is relegated to the back of the queue.
The symptom is that all available space is consumed on the hard drive. Only a restart gets it back. It might be POSTBOX2 to blame. But maybe not.
APPLESAFARI, aka SAFARI, is next on the batting lineup.
Argh!

No secret I use a lot of email accounts. For a purpose. For a community. For relatives. For friends. For projects.
Interesting that some ISPs (i.e., Saint Peter’s University Hospital and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital) offer free wifi.
Unfortunately, like most things you get for “free”, they both have their own “unique” opportunities.
Not everyone has a VWBBIE (i.e., a Verizon Wireless Broad Band Service for 70$/month) or an IPAD with the AT&T 3G turned on!
SPUH doesn’t permit email. I chatted with a fellow nerd from a past employment and he had no idea why or even who “decreed” this. But the diktat couldn’t be overturned.
Now clearly with web access, you can use the web front end that most email providers have. But that’s not a very efficient or effective imho. Your really want a unified mailbox for the different account with the capability to send from the correct account.
GMAIL to the rescue.
It was trivial to set this up so that “emergency” could read and write in the “important” accounts.
Now when I need it, I have it.
Kudos to GMAIL.

How To Use Dropbox and TrueCrypt To Securely Transfer Files Privately
by Bill Rounds
*** begin quote ***
USING DROPBOX AND TRUECRYPT
Using Dropbox and TrueCrypt should appear fairly self-evident by now. For example, you can travel with a laptop that contains no information across borders and when you arrive at your destination just install Dropbox and sync with your files from the cloud. Because Dropbox has control of the encryption key you can use TrueCrypt for an added layer of protection. That way if the Dropbox servers were compromised for whatever reason the your files would still be encrypted.
Another wonder aspect of setting up your information architecture to use TrueCrypt and Dropbox is that you no longer need to worry about backing up the files. This can save lots of time and headache.
*** end quote ***
So much for the child pornographers being caught at the border crossing.
I’m advising that all international travelers NOT carry ANY computing platform through “security”. (Not that it makes us any more secure; it’s just theater to amuse the rubes.)
That means phone, ipads, netbooks … … nothing.
You can’t know what they will “find” when they do their “data proctology” exam. Or, what they will place on your hardware when it’s outside of your control.
Come to think of it that’s good advice even inside the US.
Argh!

IWEB is Apple’s version of a webpage builder.
It doesn’t do a table?
I have a spreadsheet of my High School alums with a link to their page. I thought it would be easy to put it into an IWEB site.
Thought wrong!
Argh!
Even if I had to rebuild the table in IWEB, that, while upsetting, would be “good enough”.
Argh!
So, it seems there’s no way to do it.
Hence, “NOTRECOMMENDED”!

If the BROWSER is the “eyes” into the Web, then I’m having worries about being “blind”.
Safari 5.0.3 (6533.19.4) — too Apple centric; object to “Yet Another” Microsoft!
Chrome 8.0.552.231 — don’t understand / object to the WEBAPPSTORE
FIREFOX 3.6.13 — broken (LASTPASS not active; toolbars broken)
Opera 11.0.1156 — leader (LASTPASS barfs)
INTERNETEXPLORER whatever — not even installed; object to the “Evil Empire”
Any others I can audition?

Interesting, now I see, we have a “CHROME app store”.
Argh!
I’m not sure I like that either.
Where’s the Opera, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer ones?
(Does any one still use IE after all it’s security problems?)
So we’re in the midst of a “software” revolution?
Time will tell if this is a paradigm shift or a meme shift? Or, is it just yet another way for vendors to extract money from the User’s pocketbook quicker and easier?
Sorry, but I don’t see how this is better.

*** begin quote ***
The Chrome Web Store is an online marketplace where you can discover thousands of apps, extensions and themes for Google Chrome. To start exploring the store, visit chrome.google.com/webstore or click the store icon in Chrome’s New Tab page.
Web apps are advanced interactive websites. They may provide a wide-ranging set of features or focus on a single task like photo-editing or shopping. You can easily access the web apps you install from the Chrome Web Store through shortcuts in Chrome’s New Tab page. Learn more about installing apps in Chrome.
* Apps are currently not available in all countries. We are working hard on launching apps everywhere in the world. Stay tuned!
*** end quote ***
Note! That they are now “WEB APPS” not just “apps” that you buy form any old “app store”.
Why do I feel like I’m the victim in a slasher movie before the villain strikes?
# # # # #
Soon after watching their propaganda piece, I received the ultimate wake up call. The distillation of what my nagging doubt was:
Yes kiddies, after hearing that WEBAPPS mean never having to update, (which to this old COBOL programmer means “you never have change control!” and “you can never go home again!!” and “what about malware?”) and after hearing that CHROME is designed to work disconnected from the inet, BANG! Reality strikes home. “Try later!”
At least with the Apple APPSTORES (I “whatever” and the MAC APPSTORE), I have a unit of code (a traditional application) that I can run without further permission and without automatic update. Or, is that just for now?
I’ve had a belly full of “Windoze Genuine Advantage” always accusing me of piracy, failing to run “MY” software, and making my life miserable.
And, does the “APP STORE” concept mean that I am “buying” and no more of this fiction of “licensing”?
So if I buy and APP from an APPSTORE, how do I sell it at my garage sale?
And, before you answer that, how do I return it when it doesn’t work or otherwise disappoints me?
Finally, how the heck to clean up after all these installed apps? Reinstall from scratch? Sounds like the famous WINDOZE “bare metal restore” all over again.
Argh!

The MacAppStore opened Thursday. I, of course, checked in. And, downloaded some free applications.
After the experience, I’m not so sure I like this.
Maybe my tin foil hat is on too tight, but it seems that the whole concept puts the App Store “vendor” in complete control of what you can get.
In playing with it, I experienced slow downs.
We’ll see what other issues arise.
(1) If I had the source file, that I had downloaded (i.e., DMG, Zip, or make file), then I could always install or reinstall. If there’s no installation file (i.e., it comes by “magic” from the App Store), then I have to go back to the App Store and buy it again. Does that mean I have to pay again? Does the App Store give “receipts”?
(2) During play, the App Store became “unavailable”. Demonstrating that it is itself a single point of failure in the infrastructure.
(3) It’s very “easy” to load your hard drive with apps. (A few dollars or free makes one willing to “try it”. Toss if NG.) BUTT (there’s always a big but) (3a) How do you get rid of all the vestiges of applications? (3b) How much money, time, attention, and effort will be wasted in “applications”? (When you have to go to the store or wait for Amazon, FedEx, or UPS to deliver the disk, you evaluate the “purchase decision” more carefully.)
What else am I missing?

I send an email. And, it’s blocked by the receiver’s email server because of RBL.
*** begin quote ***
Thank you for writing to the MAPS Realtime Blackhole List (RBL) Team.
This email address is used to submit RBL nominations, for RBL removal requests, and for other communication regarding the MAPS RBL.
Many providers do use MAPS lists but also employ more restrictive lists which they maintain themselves. If you have been blocked by those, you’ll need to contact them directly.
Your message has been assigned the ticket number shown in the Subject: header above. Please include that string in the Subject: header of any future correspondance with RBL staff about this issue.
*** end quote ***
So I get:
*** begin quote ***
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us about this IP address on RBL. 74.208.4.194 was listed because we received spam from this address and because no action was taken when we reported this to your ISP.
We first started to see spam from 74.208.4.194 in March 2007.
We continue to see spam attempts from this address recently. We need to hear from your ISP prior to removing any part of this listing.
Please secure your network and contact your ISP, and have your ISP contact us for removal.
Kind regards,
John Abello
Spam Investigations Team
Trend Micro Inc.
*** end quote ***
So I very nicely point out that it’s NOY my problem. Nor that of my ISP.
*** begin quote ***
John,
Not to quibble, but my ISP is Verizon. And, my email provider for my domain “reinke.cc” is 1AND1. The IP address that you’re citing is 1AND1. So, why would you tell me to contact my ISP? And, have you ever called any service provider? 1AND1 is probably one of the largest web, email, and domain service providers. So, you, via RBL, are penalizing me for the “sins” of someone else. You’re acting like I have ANY control over everyone who uses 1and1 or Verizon.
Further, with NAT, and IP address leasing, the whole concept that a spammer can be “pinpointed” by IP address is passe.
Am I misunderstanding something?
fjohn
*** end quote ***
And, I get this back.
*** begin quote ***
Hello,
Your IP address 74.208.4.194 owner is 1and1, please contact them regarding this issue and let them communicate us on your behalf regarding this issue,
Kind regards,
John Abello
Spam Investigations Team
Trend Micro Inc.
*** end quote ***
I don’t think very highly of RBL, Trend Micro, or “John Abello” (if there is such a person)
Argh!

New Year’s Wish List
by Eric Peters
EricPetersAutos.com
*** begin quote ***
More diesels
And fewer $40,000 hybrids that barely outdo the mileage of an ’80s-era Plymouth Champ. Diesels, unlike hybrids, work – if “working” means they deliver very high gas mileage without a very high price tag. Gas-electric hybrids and electric cars are impressive as technology but crap as consumer products – if the point of the exercise is to produce economical transportation. If you have to pay $30,000 or $40,000 (or even $25,000) to get 35 or 40 MPGs then MPGs don’t really matter since whatever you “save” in fuel costs is negated by the cost of the car itself. But diesel engines can deliver 60 MPG in a subcompact car that costs less than $15,000. Just not here. They have such cars in Europe. Santa needs to bring a few of them to us. But first, he’ll need to put some coal in the stockings of the government bureaucrats who have made the American car market unfriendly for diesel vehicles by imposing one regulatory obstacle and expense after the next. It’s not that diesels are “dirty” – the Europeans are just as obsessed with saving the planet as we are. It’s simply that our bureaucrats and politicians aren’t as smart as those in Europe.
*** end quote ***
I loved the three diesels I’ve had in my life.
Once upon a time, diesel fuel was cheaper than gasoline.
Don’t understand why that is? It’s easier to refine.
We know that the taxes on petrol of all flavors is a significant cost component. And, a good way for the Gooferment to bury taxes. With the illusion that it’s all going to “roads”, which is “barbara streisand”!
So why don’t we exploit technology that works?

“PC Magazine reports that many Hotmail accounts have lost all their emails. Users’ entire email histories have apparently been lost. ‘Users can still log in sans issue. However, they arrive at empty inboxes: No custom folders, no messages in “Sent” or “Deleted,” nothing. As one might expect, the abruptness (and unexpectedness) of the purge has left some of Hotmail’s long-time users a bit in the dark.'”

You can’t trust vendors!
Have your own domain. Keep your own email archives. And, plan a backup strategy.

Intermittent Problem Sending Email on Verizon FIOS?
PLATFORM = Mac Book Air v1.1
OS = OSX 10.6.5ISP = Verizon FIOS
CLIENT = Thunderbird 3.1.7
FREQUENCY = Intermittent
SCOPE:
All 1and1 accounts are impacted.
Yahoo, GMail, and BlueHost accounts are unaffected.
SYMPTOMS:
THUNDERBIRD attempts to send email.
It either works relatively quickly or eventually fails.
When it fails, the status is EITHER “looking up smtp.1and1.com” OR “sending message”.
Then it never completes.
COMMENT:
It feels like 1and1’s not working correctly.
I can switch network and DNS settings and have the same problem.

Techie’s revenge lands her in jail
By Liam Tung on Dec 10, 2010 9:25 AM
*** begin quote ***
Four days after being fired from the Suncoast Community Health Centers’ for insubordination, Patricia Marie Fowler exacter her revenge by hacking the centre’s systems, deleting files, changing passwords, removing access to infrastructure systems, and tampering with pay and accrued leave rates of staff.
*** end quote ***
This story begs a number of questions about hardware / software engineering.
(1) Firewalls, hardware, and software are NOT designed to avoid the “King” effect. One example. The SWIFT funds transfer network in the 80’s had the concept of split authentication. The contract with SWIFT and the institution REQUIRED two separate “supervisors of an administrator” and “technology administrators”. There had to be collusion between FOUR people to subvert the security system. Bosses were NOT permitted to access the system but did receive the couriered envelop with their half of the institution’s code. They gave it to their administrator. Once the two haves were used, a new pair was generated and sent to the bosses. Either “administrator” could lock the “kingdom”. (I forget how long the “keys” were, but I remember typing it in was a giant pain.) Surprisingly, even honchos, who were openly hostile to “security”, meekly went along with this kabuki.
(2) It seems like there was very little separation of duties. The IT administrator apparently has access to the firewalls, other platforms, and data tables in applications. Seems like the place was an accident set up to happen. Where were the internal and external auditors? At the very least, with suitable automation, rebuilding components of the infrastructure should be near trivial. You wonder where was their disaster recovery plan; probably locked up in the head of the rogue administrator.
(3) “Passwords” in and around a serious “security” situation. Guess they never heard of two factor authentication?
Nice to know we don’t need no stinkin’ security!
Seasonal Greetings,
fjohn

FROM A WINDOWS7 SUPPORT FORUM
>reinkefj; Hello and welcome to the forums.
thanks
>type ping 192.168.2.102 (that’s you)
times out (?)
>ping 192.168.2.1 (that’s your default gateway / inside edge of your router)
first ping works and the rest time out (?)
>ping 64.233.169.99 (that’s google’s ip)
time out
Additional facts:
(1) Thru up another wifi with some spare hardware to the same fios gateway. With a different wifi “name”, works fine.
(2) ASUS support says to “recover” (i.e., wipe the machine and start over). Seems like burning the bard to get rid of the mouse.
(3) Have a MACBOOKAIR that just came back from being fixed. It works fine on both wifis.
So I’m “working”, but befuddled?
Perhaps the “security fixes” that came down automagically from Microsoft, triggered a “Home Networking” setting, that then WINDOWS7STARTER could not fix.
I guess the smartest thing is to “burn the barn” and start over.
Luckily there’s NOTHING valuable on the machine.
Your thoughts?
And, thanks for the response. You beat the ASUS support person’s canned reply.

Last night’s upgrade to OSX 10.6.3 took about an hour, give or take. And, everything looks OK. Sort of.
(The only thing I noticed at the time was that (a) the application icon and huge NBD and that (b) IPHOTO is still broken. (Argh!)
But today, I noticed that VZAccess Manager v7.0.5 (2424j) for the Verizon Wireless USB720 is GONE!
Argh!
Another download!
Sigh!
But, now I wonder what else was nuked?
Sure “Quality is Job#1”!

In my new burst of “religion” … … I always “worshiped” at the “Church of Murphy” … as in “Murphy’s Law” … … (no disrespect intended; I let you know when I intend to be disrespectful. I usually “slouch”. That’s an inside joke with my fellow Prepsters.) … anyway, after the recent failure of my (NOTRECOMMENDED) Mac Book Air Version 1.1, I have been improving upon my paradigms, memes, as well as procedures and practices.
• Backing up bookmarks. Used to use XMARKS, but they went broke. Came back to life under LASTPASS, but the old free data was nuked. (Argh!) So, I pick GMARKS add in to FIREFOX3 which uses the GOOGLE_BOOKMARKS service, (no need to have too many moving parts and Google will always be my free friend. Won’t they?) But, I’m moving to CHROME from Firefox (It “swallowed the pig” too many times. Hogged memory. And THUNDERBIRD is on probation.) And I can figure out how to move my CHROME bookmarks into GOOGLE_BOOKMARKS. I’ve got the html export file but where’s the insert button. Help says to use the GOOGLE_TOOLBAR button. But that’s not on CHROME?
• GOOGLE_TOOLBAR is only for FIREFOX and INTERNETEXPLORER?
Ahh, such is life on the “bleeding edge”. Unfortunately, I did not think I was on that edge but six months back.
Argh!
# – # – #
Update: So being the smart fat old white guy injineer, I figured I’d just bring up FIREFOX, install the GOOGLE_TOOLBAR, and import the the file. Problem solved. And, I’d call it a “work around”. You know the joke about Omar the fat man’s tailor! “Just walk this way”. So, quick like a bunny, up goes FIREFOX, download the GOOGLE_TOOLBAR, install, restart. And SHAZAAM! No toolbar? Argh!
So I’m off to find another solution. Argh! I hate technology.
