I have to maintain a list of auto-delete filters in my Gmail to block mail I can’t unsubscribe from. It takes a bit of effort to set up but then hopefully it’s dealt with.
Take note of the offenders btw:
- Groupon
- Even Google still insists on sending me Adwords reports for campaigns I’ve deleted years ago.

How to stop Spam SMS text messages
O2 have a number that you can forward spam messages to. I didn’t realise this, apparently there are a couple of other carriers to offer this service too.
- O2 Forward message to 7726
- Vodafone Forward message to 87726
- Orange Forward message to 7726
I get an annoying amount of spam on my mobile. Replying STOP is useless - I’ve already fallen into that trap. It would be nice if I could restrict all phone msgs (and even msgs) to a white list - like you can on Skype. In fact, I’d probably pay for that service.

UK Census 2011 data hacked by LulzSec?
And now, LulzSec supposedly claims its biggest coup yet: The entire UK 2011 Census. Is this unofficial internet security awareness week?
Quite possibily true given reports Lockheed Martin was hacked only a few weeks ago.
Questions I’d love answered:
- Will the UK government get the £500m it paid to Lockheed Martin?
- Will Lockheed Martin get a chance to bid on future government data work?

Random Git command line stuff I need to memorise
Do a rake db:migrate for parallel testing. Note it’s all case sensitive (as is everything in Unix).
rake parallel:prepare
Then to test it’s just
rake pt
Hopefully should remember all this now.
