How do I engineer gay Sims?

UH-OH: Just when I'd carved out a bit of spare time to dedicate to long-dormant projects, along comes The Sims for Macintosh. I had to make an emergency trip to CompUSA Friday to get a new modem and picked it up on a whim. Now I can experience the same productivity dip and addictive play value that my PC-based brethren have enjoyed for many months. MacCentral offers these Sim resources for the rest of us.

BRAD'S HELPFUL HINTS: Today's topic is "Dealing with spam," particularly germane since I've seen an uptick in the amount of unsolicited commercial e-mail I've been getting recently. I've got a filter set up in Eudora which, among other things, checks for the phrase "to be removed" in the body of incoming e-mail and shunts any such messages to a "Suspected Spam" folder for rapid perusal at a later time. Catch rate so far is running at around 80 percent. False positives: Only one out of some 44,800 messages scanned since I created the filter. You're welcome.

WEBLOG-ROLLING: Y'know, it's people such as Fred, who survive a terribly traumatic and painful experience and still find the will and the time to update their website who make me feel like a real slug. Here's wishes for a swift recovery, Fred! We love ya, buddy!
