			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just finished implementing the SPF-record for the domain MajorAap.com. This means that from now on, it will be harder for spammers and other miscreants to &#8216;spoof&#8217; the domain MajorAap.com. Keep in mind that this will not eliminate spam, it will just help a bit.</p>
<p>A SPF-record is basically an entry that tells mail-servers which mail-server is authorized to send emails from the domain majoraap.com. If a server is not on that list, it will not accept it (provided the receiving mail-server uses SPF-records which now-a-days pretty much all of them do)</p>
<p>If you want to know more about SPF, please visit the Wikipedia page at <a title="Wikipedia page on SPF-records in English" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework</a>.</p>
<p>As a note;<br />
This site does not send out any emails unless you opt-in to them (subscribing to a post for example)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, today concludes the first day with the HTC HD2.</p>
<p>Overall, I am a happy consumer. However, just like with everything I have some pet peeves with it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Installing Google Mobile made the device incredibly slow. Uninstalling and then rebooting the phone did not fix it. So I had to resort to the hard reset option (source: <a href="http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_hd2_leo_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html">HTC HD2 Leo Hard reset &#8211; Soft reset</a>.) Not so happy with that. I am happy with how fast I could get my stuff back (Microsoft My Phone and the Google Active Sync took care of that)</li>
<li>The screen is like a magnet for finger-smearing&#8230; ;-)</li>
<li>Although not specifically the phone that caused it; I had to setup a completely empty Windows Mobile Device Center profile (with nothing ticked) so WMDC on my PC wouldn&#8217;t keep bouncing up and down like a Jack Russel on crack every time I connected the phone.</li>
<li>I also noticed when manually setting up the Active-sync profile SMS syncing was showing. So far I haven&#8217;t found anything on this matter from Google, so I am not using it (anyone?)</li>
<li>It doesn&#8217;t use the storage-card for message/attachment storing by default.</li>
<li>I&#8217;ll admit that it&#8217;s not as big of an annoyance as I first thought it would be &#8211; but it&#8217;s in Dutch, which I am of course. But still!</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I just got my HTC HD2 &#8211; which by the way is absolutely gorgeous &#8211; I had to set it up to retrieve all of my contacts, appointments and emails. All of these are hosted on Google.</p>
<p>Here is how to set up the HTC HD2 (which is a Windows Mobile phone) to sync with Google (for GMail, Contacts and Calendar)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636">Setting Up Your Windows Mobile Phone for Google Sync : Mail, Calendar &amp; Contacts Sync &#8211; Google Mobile Help</a>. (via: <a title="Google Mobile support forum showing the question and answer to setup syncing between Google and HD2" href="http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=07d0ffdde51ec2ab&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=07d0ffdde51ec2ab&amp;hl=en</a></p>
<p>Just plain awesome&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211; Update 18 March 2010 &#8212;&#8212;<br />
In case the Google help page doesn&#8217;t work, is offline, or if you are just too lazy ;-)</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211; Copied from Google Help page &#8212;&#8212;</p>
<blockquote><p>To set up Google Sync on your Windows Mobile device, please follow the steps below.</p>
<p>Important Note: Make sure that you have backed up any Contacts and Calendars from your phone to your computer before proceeding.</p>
<p>Getting Started<br />
1. Open the Active Sync application on your device&#8217;s home screen<br />
2. Click Set up your device to sync with it.<br />
3. Enter m.google.com as the server address.<br />
4. Ensure that the SSL option is selected.<br />
5. Click Next.<br />
6. Enter your full Google Account email address as the User name.<br />
7. Enter your Google Account password as the Password.<br />
8. Leave the Domain field empty. If your device requires you to enter a domain name, enter google.<br />
9. Click Next.<br />
10. Check Contacts, Calendar, or Email, depending on which you&#8217;d like to sync. (Tasks is not supported and will lead to an error if checked.)<br />
11. Click Finish.<br />
12. Press the Sync softkey on the left to synchronize.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve now set up Google Sync for your Windows Mobile device.</p></blockquote>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just had to post and share this one:</p>
<ol>
<li>The liberal use of the “VERY HIGH PRIORITY!!!” flag</li>
<li>The 18-line sig about all the Bad Things that will happen to me if I ever reveal the contents of your privileged, confidential (and unencrypted) message</li>
<li> The unrequested press release (and the serial ignoring of the “Unsubscribe” I sent you for the previous seven press releases)</li>
<li>The graphical background, font and table tags, and remaining 14k of HTML cruft associated with every. single. message. you’ve ever sent</li>
<li>The including of my — plus 98 other strangers’ — personal email addresses in the “To:” line of your friendly reminder about Tyler’s birthday party</li>
</ol>
