my vote

Filed under:— Chris @ 12:35 am

I voted on Saturday. It should be no surprise to any of you that read this blog regularly to learn that I voted for John Kerry.

Here, at long last, I have decided to write as briefly and persuasively as I can my case for voting for John Kerry. I realize this is late in coming, since we're now a week from November 2, but better late than never. I don't have time to elaborate at length on my own, so what I am going to do is target the issues most important to me, and cite the references that have most influenced me in my decision-making. This will be a whirlwind tour, so forgive me: I have a lot of ground to cover.

Briefly, Swirbo is a service for filtering spam and viruses. Unlike most spam and virus-filtering solutions, it's not software you install on your PC, and it doesn't involve hardware at your physical location. Your domain name's mail is simply routed, via its MX records, to our service, where it's cleaned of spam and viruses before being delivered to your final destination mailserver.

Because of this, obviously, it's only an option if you have control over your domain and want to protect it entirely. (But, stay tuned for a future product designed more towards individual e-mail boxes.)

A brief list of features and functionality:
