Sorry for the spam, everyone!

Evidently there was a problem with some sort of spam code being injected into my RSS Feed. Thanks to my buddy @jrronimo for pointing it out to me. After a few hours of digging, I believe I have found the culprit but will need to do some testing over the next few days. Please let me know if you ever feel like you’re receiving spam from me, I would be glad to look in to it. Other than a couple of minor banner ads, I have NO intention of actually trying to pester my readers! Leave a comment, hit me on twitter, shoot me an email, whatever works for you!

Migrating from GMail to the new Outlook.com

UPDATE: As if an upcoming “Google Take-Out” feature wasn’t enough, literally the same day I posted this Microsoft introduced a GMail import tool. Comments on an Engadget article announcing the feature indicated problems importing large mailboxes (~20GB), however it seems that Microsoft is listening, and willing to help. Microsoft has never specified a size of Outlook.com’s mailboxes, simply calling them “virtually unlimited.”
