RE:[wdvltalk] OT mouse arm
Have a look at these sites: http://jaxmed.com/articles/wellness/mouseErgo.html Note the angle of the forearm in the image...essentially flat. It is difficult to get this angle unless you have a very low desk or a dropped keyboard tray (my recommendation - get an adjustable-height tray with a mousepad attached to your dominant hand's side). Ideally your wrist should be an inch or so below your elbow for good blood flow; I use a chair with an adjustable arm, and when my arm is resting on the chair arm, my hand falls naturally on the mouse. My keyboard is perhaps only two inches above my lap when adjusted properly. As others have stated, set your mouse to be able to move to all four corners without moving your wrist...only finger movements should be necessary. Also, as in this image, you'll want your monitor center somewhat below your eye level. Many places will tell you to place it at eye level but in the long run you'll be more comfortable the other way. The tops of my monitors are about 2 above my eyes, and the centers about 4-5 below eye center. http://www.streamingmediaiq.com/resources/tips/1284-eMedia%20Tips.html Not much here but something other places miss: if you use a mouse with a rubber ball, clean it weekly, along with the rollers or whatever it uses to sense motion. I can't begin to tell you how many users I've helped just by cleaning their mouse and speeding up the response. It's not very noticeable but the effort required to make a dirty mouse track well is accumulative. Better yet, get an optical mouse and run it on a solid-color cloth-topped mousepad. The solid color (I use a dark blue or a dark red pad) will improve optical tracking, particularly with Dell opticals. Try various keyboards and mice...I've found that for myself, I prefer a traditional straight keyboard over an ergonomic model (I don't use typical number keying technique and the split keyboard throws me off), and I prefer optical mice over trackballs (too much thumb movement). These combinations have kept me relatively pain-free for many years of programming. But if you're to the pain stage, the ONLY thing that's going to work is to stop whatever it is you're doing...right away. Switch mouse hands. Get your keyboard where it belongs. Get a good chair (it doesn't have to be expensive; you can get good-quality armed height-adjustable chairs for less than $50 now). Stop every five or ten minutes and flex your wrists completely in circles. Get your monitors where they belong and get the refresh rates up as fast as they'll take; make sure the picture is using the full size of the monitor screen as well. Your face should be at least two feet away from a screen. If you're in acute pain (i.e. it doesn't go away overnight and your wrist or arm hurts just thinking about a new day of work), get to a doctor. A little over a year ago I had wrist surgery on my left wrist, with a plate put in, due to a motorcycle accident. I had an excellent doctor who took the time to shape and attach the plate to allow full-range motion...but on top of that, I was careful to keep my ergonomics correct while returning to the job, and it has completely recovered without any signs of carpal problems. I just started doing pushups a month ago, however, and while the wrist is finally up to taking the pressure, I have to psych myself up for them every time. :-) Nothing like three failed bone-set attempts in the ER to make a guy nervous.

[wdvltalk] issues with email coming back that I did not send
I had to resend this, as my previous subject wasn't allowed through. I'm getting a lot of undeliverable email notices that email could not be delivered to addresses I've never heard of. These are emails I know I didn't send. Nor do I want my domain associated with any of them! Many of these notices 'contain' headers, which indicate the email originated from email addresses associated with my domain, but which don't exist. I have Norton antivirus installed, with automatic virus definition updates. Also, if it were a virus, wouldn't it use existing addresses? I'm starting to get very concerned about this. Is anyone familiar with what might be happening? I'm enclosing the 'headers' from one such email: Received: from bingo.yandex.ru ([213.180.200.1]:48537 EHLO bingo.yandex.ru smtp-auth: none) by mail.yandex.ru with ESMTP id S966473AbVBHLij; Tue, 8 Feb 2005 14:38:39 +0300 Received: from [222.96.159.250] ([222.96.159.250]:60421 HELO 222.96.159.250 smtp-auth: none TLS-CIPHER: none TLS-PEER-CN1: none) by mail.yandex.ru with SMTP id S835103AbVBHLii (ORCPT rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED]); Tue, 8 Feb 2005 14:38:38 +0300 Received-SPF: none (bingo.yandex.ru: 222.96.159.250 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of mainshipsystems.com; fakespf=softfail) client-ip=222.96.159.250; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; helo=222.96.159.250;, fakespf=softfail From: kirsten [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Babe nailed in the bottom Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2005 07:39:35 + MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=588skjfdW4z7rOS7Qi Message-Id: S835103AbVBHLii/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Diane [EMAIL PROTECTED] The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

re:[wdvltalk] issues with email coming back that I did not send
Unfortunately, this is a common problem -- spammers use the e-mail addy or domain of some person rather than a fictitious one. Typically, this happens when you report spam to their ISP or via SpamCop and they find out and do this in retaliation. Interesting note: I read that of the billions of spam that flood the net, only 4% reap results in the form of some person purchasing what was being sold. I wonder why not just mail those four-percenters rather than bombard those of us who aren't that stupid and then use our domains as reply addresses to retaliate against reporting them? Well... anyway... off my soap box. -- dwacon spampire slayer www.dwacon.com The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

RE:[wdvltalk] issues with email coming back that I did not send
It may be spammers retaliating...or your system could be a zombie that actually is sending out these emails, unbeknownst to you, as a background program installed by an intruder. Why do the spammers send email to billions rather than the 4% who respond? First, the 4% of billions represents immense, vast, easy, fast wealth for spammers. 4% response if this is the actual figure, and I think it is, is amazingly huge response, good for direct mail, telemarketing, etc. 4% sounds small. It's not small. I'll take 4% of a trillion dollars (USD) any day of the week. Spammers don't know who that 4% is going to be, like with all direct response marketing. So they *have* to send email to all billion addresses. Plus, it costs them the same to send to 10 people as it does to send to 10 billion people, as far as I can ascertain. Someone might know more about this, bandwidth considerations, whatever. I'm not a mass email marketer, though I am conducting an email survey right now as we speak, non-commercial, research only. = Steven Streight Web Usability Analyst Content Writer Blogologist Digital Media Artist Virtual Instrument Music Composer http://www.vaspersthegrate.blogspot.com http://www.streightsite.blogspot.com http://www.arttestexplosion.blogspot.com EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

I have learnt that the 'medical' name for Levitra is 'tadalafil'. I think that's a splendid name, like the 'ta-da' noise that Windows used to make when it booted, as if a successful boot was a big deal.
