News of things I though of that I probably won't do

@@@@@@@@@@@email chopping
In filemaker, or ruby, or python, or php, or revolution, or lua, or what
have you
Make a mailbox
Configure mail accounts for google, hotmail, yahoo, imap, pop3
(There's an italian ".it" lua app that proxies webmail to pop3 or imap
on the mac to localhost)
Write a love letter email counting the ways you love them and address it
to your sweetheart
The email is then split into "N - 1" columns where N is the number mail
accounts configured
The last column is used to store the raid-5 algorithm derived content
such that if one email service fails the email can be recreated
Example
Dear sweetheart,
You are my ray of sunshine,
You are my shining moon,
You are my cloudy sky,
You are my refreshing rain,
You are the peaks of my mountains,
You are the river in my valleys,
You are the delta in my flood plains,
You are the hot vents in my deep oceans,
You are the iron crystal in my molten core.

Lets imagine you had a gmail, a hotmail, an aol and a yahoo account

Let the yahoo account contain the raid 5 data - so we can ignore it

So 100% of the email has to split between the remaining 3 accounts

Lets do it line by line

Line 1 = Dear•sweetheart,¶
Character count (17) / email providers (3) = 5, 6, 6
Gmail = Dear•
Hotmail = sweeth
Aol = eart,¶
...
And so on so that the 10th and last line looks like this

Line 10 = You•are•the•iron•crystal•in•my•molten•core.¶
Character count (44) / email providers (3) = 14, 15, 15
Gmail = You•are•the•ir
Hotmail = on•crystal•in•m
Aol = y•molten•core.¶

@@@@@@@@@@@a history of the sinking of the titanic, in which the young
daughters of capulet and montague fall in love, the ugly duckling grows
into a swan, the aztecs defeated, the cannibalism of the island of rapa
nui, the decline and fall of rome, the rothschilds and waterloo, the
depression of the 30s, the rise of the central banks, the us
constitution, and assasinations of the economic hitmen, with a beauty
pageant, a poker game, a basektball game, and a big chorus line.

@@@@@@@@@@@tradeshow marketing for Neo code development, hosting, and
license sales

What was effective
1. Attractive people handing out attractive toys - like tennis balls?
2. Putting people outside the show handing out toys with the booth
number on it
3. Have a booth with a theater and chairs with a big signs displaying
show times
4. Make the theater where the side walls are strings holding display
panels so you can see through it and hold brochures
5. Make the other side of theatre back wall be a line of machines for 1
on 1 demos
