Hidden ipod commands

I can never remember the commands to turn on ipod diagnostics. You can find a nice little display at Hidden iPod Commands. Commands are listed for the various iPod models.

Anti-spam

I was reading the news at spamgourmet.com (a service I highly recommend) and they pointed to a couple of things to help combat spam and spammers. Spamspan provides some code to help obfuscate email addresses on web pages. Sharkbait can be used to feed spam email address harvesters fake email addresses that contain the IP address of the harvester in the email address so that the harvester can be reported to their ISP.

I should probably say a bit more about spamgourmet.com. I have used the free service for a number of years and don't know what I'd do without it. I've actually donated $$ to them to keep them running. :) The basic idea is that you set up an account which will forward your email to a real email address. You can then generate new spamgourmet email addresses on the fly when asked for an email address but your real email address is hidden from the folks to whom you give the spamgourmet email address. The on-the-fly email addresses can be set to expire after the addresses have been used a certain number of times and they can be "recharged" if you decide you want to continue to receive email through that address. They even have the option that allows you to respond to an email you receive via spamgourmet which will hide your real email address.

It is a great service, well executed and on top of that it is free. I highly recommend it.
