Have you met our monkey?

He's furry and kinda ugly, but we like him anyway.

This new addition to the staff has been added to end the constant complaints from staff about not having an office monkey. Don't be mistaken, he's more than just an animatronic ape with a laser pointer. He also possesses various important skills, such as: pool hustling, the expedient delivery of inter-office memoranda, entertaining customers and just being cool. If he learns how to make coffee and blog, the bosses intend to use the monkey to replace Mitchell.

The problem? The monkey has no name. Considering the over-abundance of creativity in the LogicMaze office, coming to a company consensus on one name is pretty much out of the question. We have decided to let you vote!! Click on the "Vote Now" button.
Deadline is Friday, December 22nd.

Search Engine Optimization News:

Our hard work at Search Engine Optimization has begun to pay off in a big way with Underground Vaults and Storage. For the past several months, they have had a strong presence on MSN, holding top 10 positions for the majority of their keywords. Presently, they are #1 for 25 out of 45! To add to that, in the last month, we have seen sizable boosts on Yahoo from the previously so-so placement, and have gone from non-existent to a formidable contender for top placement on Google (the big dog).

Big thanks go to Chris Eden of Underground Vaults and Storage, who has been nothing but supportive and cooperative throughout all of our work with him. Eden had this to say in regards to our efforts on his behalf:

" . . .I'm quite proud of our successes thus far in the SEO arena. Nice work. Thanks for doing a nice job guiding web site construction, showing me the ropes, walking me through analytics,
getting the links out there. I can proudly say to anyone who cares that this web site has risen, rather quickly, in competitive search arenas, and we're doing it better than most of our competition."

SPAM
How does Spam Assassin work?

When the e-mail servers receive a message, Spam Assassin compares the message to its database of different SPAM criteria. Spam Assassin produces a numerical score based on those criteria. If the score is higher than a threshold value, Spam Assassin adds headers like these to the message: ***SPAM***

How accurate is Spam Assassin?

Accuracy is difficult to judge, since one person's SPAM may be a solicited message for somebody else. Looking at some of the logs the Spam Assassin generates, it appears to catch about 80% of SPAM. The rules that Spam Assassin uses to identify SPAM are updated and weighted differently with each revision of the software, so it will keep up with changes in the nature of incoming SPAM.   Of course, SpamAssassin is running a continuous fight with professional UCE-mailers (Unsolicited Commercial Emails) who can adapt their messages to skim just below the scoring threshold of SA, but in general, it puts up a good fight.
