HAB's big business tips

You should work in children's TV. With that cheery attitude, you'd go far...

That reminds me. I also pretend not to be in on Halloween.

If I wanted to give your snotty kids some sweets I'd hang around a playground.

Get a tinfoil hat and hide under the stairs until the aliens have gone away.

Nah, I want to go with them.

Do they have a mensa style aptitude test available so if I pass they'll come and collect me and take me away from this planet, it's too full of humans and that's only going to get worse.

It's not HMRC () I'm ignoring, just the plebs who think I want to buy whatever crap they're peddling.

Be they agents (don't call me, I'll call you ), call centres, door-to-door, pikies, or people I used to know and now couldn't care less about, the message is one and the same: FOAD!

They don't get it, the tax people will always catch up with you.

It's one way of dealing with spam.

On a similar theme I have a facebook profile I never visit, a mobile phone I never switch on, and an address I'm never at.

I also ignore the doorbell until the third press, never answer 'unknown' phone calls on the mobile I do have switched on, and don't have a phone plugged into the landline I only use for broadband.

Any other tips?

Oddly enough I know several contractors who do the same. They don't get it, the tax people will always catch up with you.

Probably riddled with wood-wormholes.

Wood-wormholes?

Do they take you to Narnia?

We've got a drawer in our house that does the same thing.

None of that muck here.

When I changed things around for this new server and set up MS Exchange again, I forgot to add in a few e-mail addresses. The thing is, that was nearly a year ago.

When you have an e-mail address on sales literature, web site, etc. it is a good idea to have your e-mail server recognise it and send it to a monitored destination.
