Hi,

I use mac mail and there is a warning along with this email. It says 'unable to verify message signature'. I have never seen this before. I don't like it, and it makes me a bit uneasy.

Off topic. but my penny's worth.

Pop ups are intrusive, so I have 'block pup up windows' turned on. Does a good job I think cos many of the blogs I use people are always whining about pop ups and I don't get them. Pop ups that then hide behind the current page I am viewing are just the worst. Look at Chinese webites, they have some interesting techniques and a lot of them are just OTT. Fixed position ads irritate me too. Ads appearing after searches and above the site's actual content grind my gears, and I don't know why a developer would really want to do that anyway.

I worked on an ad campaign for vodafone called 'content integrated marketing'. The idea being that it looked part of the website that it was placed - but clearly marked 'advertisement'. I didn't feel so bad about that and I think it worked quite well.

I don't know about adblock, but I can block ads with my own eyes. So if it's in my face, flagrantly an ad then I don't look at it.

bored, going to the pub. Chris

I was wondering, as i started learning my way through web development, if the habit i had of using the so-famous Adblock filters and addons, while surfing the web was something OK.

I mean, some of you (hopefully "us", in a while) might even have to design advertisement campaigns, etc. So having them turned off could take a valuable (sometimes not that much) source of inspiration away.

What do you guys think? Do you use them? Know somebody who does?

Perhaps, someday in the future i'd regret doing so...
