I upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.6. It was a pretty painless upgrade. We’ll see what all that means in the days to come.

I got bored again so I changed the theme of Musings. I had to modify it a little because I didn’t like the way some stuff was displayed and it didn’t accommodate all of the plugins I have installed.

I’d also love to do a countdown for Mrs. Major’s knee replacement and for Son Major and The Major’s trip to California to work at the U.S. Open Golf Championship, but the plugin that handles that doesn’t work with this version of WordPress. I guess I’ll keep looking for a compatible one.

First, here are some statistics from my email spam catcher, SpamSieve, for the month of March:

Filtered Mail

• 1,040 Good Messages
• 14,076 Spam Messages (93%)
• 438 Spam Messages Per Day

SpamSieve Accuracy

• 2 False Positives
• 61 False Negatives (97%)
• 99.6% Correct

To be honest, I administer two domains that get mail and I review all the misaddressed mail. Unfortunately, spammers will take a domain, like majormike.net and add a bunch of fake names in the hope that they will get lucky and come up with a real address. This tends to proliferate the number of bogus messages I have to review. But you can be sure I won’t let bzjz@majormike.net pass.

Second, I just converted the underlying software that supports this site to the latest version: WordPress 2.5. Now aren’t you impressed? I has a few glitches, but it looks like a good product.
