I've been enjoying my first avalanche-free week in a few years. It's quite lovely, but it took some pain to get here; I gutted and completely redid how I filtered my personal email in a last-ditch attempt to keep it under control.

I'd had a system in the past that worked reasonably well, but over time, as more companies switched to reaching me through email, my original plan no longer sufficed. I do sometimes miss the day that a single 'bacn' folder could hold all the Authorized Pork Product Email™ I received, but that day is long past.
