Not spam, but not readable

I was looking at my inbox the other day, and I noticed I had like 600 or so unread emails from my mom, another 400 from one of my uncles, another within the same range from a AI group and so on.

Now I admit agreeing that most of the contents of those emails contain some interesting (yet most likely useless) trivia and/or news and articles. So I don’t have the heart to filter them out as spam, but they’re not at all within the range of emails a day I can actually read, so I have them distributed amongst appropriate folders as most of you also have done.

This on the other hand is like a constant reminder of how careless and insensitive I am, I mean, I once heard if someone took the time to send you a letter, you should at least have the courtesy to read it. I guess e-mails don’t apply.

By the way, I love the address+anything@gmail.com technique I read in Google: The Missing Manual, Second Edition, to filter out work related emails from the personal ones, and most ppl I work with have no idea about, so they apply as is, adding a couple of more characters to the address, but helping me sort out mail with the filters.

I finished Chap3 of Beginning Web Programming with HTML, XHTML and CSS today, I think I might go straight to the CSS chapter tomorrow.

Now I might not blog for a couple of days since I will be at an IT Exhibit in Damascus, I’ll try to tweet through it if I have internet access, so you can Follow me at Twitter if your interested.

Thanx for stopping by,

Salam
