Congratulations to Kyle and Kim. Kyle works over at Conerstone Integrated Voice and Data. (They do our phone sytem, and we recommend them for cabling to clients. Kyle also plays hockey on the MIS team.) They just had a new baby girl! We wish them the best of luck.

I'm at the Midcoast Builders Alliance Home and Garden show right now, posting from an MIS wireless connection. We've got the gym of Camden Hills Regional set up with wireless Internet, and 3-Dimensions and Village Soup are using it too. Be sure to stop by the show and say "Hi!"

Don't forget to stop by the MIS booth at the Mid-Coast Builders Alliance Home & Garden Show. Marketing Director Bill Batty will be there all day both days (Saturday and Sunday), and DSL coordinator Patrick Rowling will be there on and off throughout the weekend. Stop by, say "Hi," and pick up some candy and swag. (Swag's trade-show talk for free goodies.)

Hopefully, you're all using the MIS Spam Assassin. It works very well. How well? I ran an experiment this weekend. I didn't check my email after noon on Saturday. I let it run a day and a half. Here are my results from this morning.
I received 809 emails in my two email boxes.
Of those, 744 were treated as spam.
Of the 744, all were in fact spam. Nothing was mis-tagged as junk that was actually legit.
65 emails made it to my inbox. Of those, I wanted six, so 59 junk emails made it to my inbox. 92% of my total junkmail was identified correctly. Darn good results, I say.Posted by Midcoast Internet @ 08:34 AM EST [Link]

I'm a little late posting the new prize for the referral winner this month. It's a set of lighthouse note cards from Gene at Maine Lighthouse Notecards. These are real photographs on high quality notecards--perfect for sending to those friends who are still "down south," and who are missing what Maine offers. Value of this prize is $15.95.
