Interview with a Vampi^H^H Spamfighter, part 2

Posted by Annalivia Thursday, April 1, 2010 0 comments

The second half of my Unica interview with Len Shneyder is now up. It was fun to do, and I hope that y'all enjoy it and maybe find something useful in it.

Thanks for the intervention with the weather gods, people! It's stopped raining, for which I'm certain my Bostonian friends are grateful. That chugging noise you hear is the sound of many sump pumps running at full capacity.

..that exploding noise you heard was my head, trying to get Excel and SQL stuffed into it. Anyone know if there's a better book than Excel for Dummies out there?

About Me

I'm Annalivia Ford, long time anti-spam expert. I've been in the profession of blocking the bad guys and helping to translate ISP requirements into language that senders can understand for nearly a decade now, though I got into fighting spam as an amateur 15 years ago. I now work for IBM, wrangling outbound email and doing my best to keep things sane.

About this blog: I started it when I worked for AOL, and since my departure from there I have been remiss about regular updates (part of the issue stems from my agreement with my current employer). I will continue to post here now and then and meanwhile I hope the archives continue to be useful and entertaining.

I do not in any way intend to speak for my employer, past or present. The content of this blog is either opinions that are strictly mine, general observations, or information that is already in the public domain.

Have you got a question? Perhaps an idea for a blog post? How about a million dollars to give to Barry? Feeling ranty? Or just want to say hello? Please Email me!

ID YOU FIND A TYPO?? PLEASE TELL ME! I'm serious.

In the banner is one of my dogs, Daisy. She's a tireless hunter. If you know me, you'll have heard about her! She keeps me company during work, and fondly imagines herself to be Very Helpful.
