Code SLASH, Ransomware, and MP3
by Andrew McCaskey
A quick set of notes today, in response to listener comments and questions over the past few days:
This was set in motion by a comment from Peter Cronwright, in Auckland, NZ – whose mp3 player had decided problems with non alpha-numeric characters in the MP3 tag for the program. I’ve made that adjustment, hope that it puts his MP3 player back on track. Would that all email problems would be as easily solved.
For example, Ezra noted that code SLASH does not take 10% off of everything – it does not work, for example, for a renewal. Some others TPN shows had similar experiences, and our GoDaddy rep explained that the codes – in this case SLASH, SLASH2 ($5 off of a $30 order and SLASH3 (a $6.95 .com special) work for existing customers with new products, or new customers. Just like you can’t combine coupons at the grocery check out, on GoDaddy you cannot combine promo offers.
I hope that you will be able to set aside some time to join us for the Techpodcast Roundtable this Saturday at 1:30PM Pacific. Some podcast audio topics, a list of favorite sites and applications from various TPN shows, and something that I am looking forward to, an introduction into this virtual world called Second Life – all from a Podcaster’s perspective.
Knightwise - the author of the Ubuntu laptop for Grandma a few days ago, confessed that he is not in Hanoi, Vietnam – just a slip up in the registration at Frappr. He is really in Belgium.Web Page Designers: Take note. Kind of reminds me of some automated expense account software that kept demanding local sales tax – and then presented a 50 country drop down menu, with city cascades. Somewhere, somebody must have been suprised how many expense account meals were consumed in Afganistan.

From the 43Folders Inbox Zero process, I’m learning that these tools are no substitute for ruthless triage of escalating questions:
1. What does this message mean to me and why do I care ?
2. What action, if any, does this message require of me ?
3. What’s the most elegant way to close out this message and the nested action it contains ?
These questions were most valuable getting from 400 to 100 items. After that, the default
