About:
balmail will email a daily report to your boss (or team leader) satisfying their need to quantify your daily technical acheivements. It can be customised to fit your typical list of one line tasks, and will automatically decide which you have done and how many each day. Care has been taken to ensure that the e-mail does not appear to be automated, by varying the time the mail gets sent, the subject lines and the content each day. A holiday feature ensures mail doesn't get sent whilst you are away.

[»] It works.. you don't
by KiTT - Sep 1st 2000 04:47:46

I witnessed the testing phase This is a wicked app that works. I suggest you download it today and enjoy a carefree working environment and a happy, yet continually bemused, supervisor. Enjoy the admiration of your colleagues and adoration of your lady friends. This works on all boss types below the skill level of "Senior Technical Administrative Manager". Anything above that skill level may be risky. Respect to JJ for bringing this to the public

All you need for a stress free term in an operational environment. I have seen balmail run in anger and the results are phenomenal. I suggest that for best results, you should ensure that you are managed by the gullible and confused...shouldnt be too difficult :) Muchos cahones jj

[»] Proven track record...
by Tristan 'Minty' Colgate - Aug 30th 2000 15:20:06

The author has subjected this utility to thorough
and extensive testing, and it now has a proven
track record in one of the most intense operational
environments known to man.
The provided jobs.txt is sufficient for most level of
middle management, and the holiday feature is a welcome
addition since tyhe tools initial creation.

JJ, you rock, from someone who was there...
