Victor James Delahunty.

My father died two years ago today. I wrote this for his funeral.

Victor was born in Clonmel in rural Tipperary on January 15th 1925. Tragically his mother died in childbirth. He was informally adopted by his neighbours and remained especially close to Nancy and Nelly throughout his lifetime.

Victor served in the Irish and British Armies, and as part of the UN forces in Korea. As a soldier he lived for a while in West Germany and after joining the merchant navy, literally travelled the world.

Back in England, Dad worked as a chef in many top hotels, often working two jobs at once. While we sometimes saw little of him, we never went hungry!

Victor had three daughters, Vicky, Sharon and Faith, after his first marriage ended in divorce, he fathered Liam and Lynda more than a decade later.

Dad had a smile that lit up his face, and a twinkle in his blue eyes. He sang often, with a soft, tuneful, lilting Irish tenor, and he had a gentle, kind manner.

He enjoyed a little light gambling - betting pennies on the "Gee Gees" and visiting the dogs. He loved listening to music and enjoyed sport, particularly watching Football. He followed Fulham to every tie of the 1975 FA Cup – the longest route in cup history – but missed the final!

I recall many days spent in the kitchen or at the back room table; he occasionally popping over to the bookies; Saturday evenings had the ritual of jotting down the pools results with Lynda and I sing-songing the scores.

Victor returned to Ireland for a few years after retiring before his failing health brought him back to England.

He lived a full, eventful life and fathered five children, who are already raising his grand-children, and great-grand-children.

7 Things for 7 Days

Here's a little idea. It's a Friday, and I'm relaxing at home watching the box after a week at work, and I was thinking, lets do something special/different, I don't want to just set up lets do these 7 things, and then have them fail because I've been too lazy, so how about just 7 things, anything, recipe's, hopes, events, plans, dreams...

7 things for 7 Days

1. Hope that Fulham beat Charlton
2. Hope that the Angels win the ALCS
3. Ride my bike for at least two hours over the coming week
4. Shave at least four times
5. Cut my hair
6. Write the next chapter of my book
7. Put something for sale on ebay

Could be on to something here. Feel free to post your own "7 things for 7 days" in the comments or a link to your post.

Spam - a good excuse to move to gmail.

Although I run my own server business, and on it we run MailScanner/SpamAssassin I've found I still end up with a load of spam.

Right now, my spam file is over 120MB, and contains over 17,500 messages, from mid April 2005 to end of September. This isn't even all the spam as a good percentage, lets say 10%, was just deleted rather than saved. Suprisingly few spam emails were caught by Mailscanner as I have to set the limits conservatively for my clients.

I'd noticed that most of my spam isn't addressed to me, so I have an inbox for mail addressed to me and a pending box for mail that wasn't. I checked the pending throughout the day for anything 'good' and deleted or moved into the spam folder anything rotten.

I'd guess that 95% of spam was caught by this simple rule, but that still captured 'good' mail, that was addressed to some_old_mailing_list@mydomain etc which hadn't yet made it on to my whitelist.

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I started copying all my mail to my gmail account and trying to use that as my main email client. I did it as I was using a new PC and hadn't set up anything, a browser worked so mail in gmail was the easiest path whilst I sorted out the thousand and one installs, changes and getting on with "work" too.

In Gmail I like the threaded view, I know that was also possible in my email client of choice, Thunderbird, but somehow it's more natural with Gmail.

All the mail was forwarded before any of my filters had worked on them, and I noticed I had almost no spam escape their filter. Right now, looking at the gmail account, I've had 2679 spam emails since the 16th September. It looks like I've had 101 hit the inbox. That's a pretty good detection rate of 97%.

What I miss about Thunderbird.
In Thunderbird I had used the ability to label messages using the keyboard numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 a lot as it chimmed nicely with my version of GTD.

The ease of doing that is missing from GMAIL, you still have labels but you need to select from a drop down box which is a little slower.

On the other hand, I've replaced 1 (action!) with the Gmail star system (keyboard shortcut s), so have all of those messages to hand very easily.

But what I really like about Gmail is the spam filters. As I say they've caught something like 97% of spam, I can store all the (non spam) mail forever and not use up great chunks of space from my server), and my email client (gmail) is availible wherever I can get to a browser.

I still copy the mail to gmail, but now I have all the pending mail and spam the server catches automatically deleted, just leaving me with mostly good mail on the "real" server, which now serves as the backup.

StumbleUpon

I usually post to stumbleupon now rather than here, as it's more in the "old fashioned" version of a blog as a web log of sites visited and commented on rather than the jumble of musing that's blogs have turned into.

Stumbleupon has various community features that allow one to discover new sites. I use it as a tool bar in Firefox. Beware - it's addictive!

I will continue to occasionally post here, but liamvictor.stumbleupon.com will be my primary blog.
