“Living in a box”

I know the song “Living in a box” (by, coincidentally, Living In A Box) has nothing to do with moving, but we’re moved in, and we’re “Living in a box”. (Or more precisely, in a series of boxes). The saying “finding a needle in a haystack” should be modified to “finding a Thermos top in [...]

Happy Birthday, Alan

Happy Birthday Alan! Hope you have a very happy birthday! You’re now no longer eligible for the 18-34 demographic either. :)

Just one fix

Well, this morning the phone line went dead, presumably for the transfer to the new apartment. We’ll have to check that when we get there. This unfortunately means no DSL for me until 10/31.

Let’s run the numbers. Since midnight last night, I have received:

145 SPAM mails classified as such by bogofilter
36 unsure-if-they’re-SPAM mails classified by bogofilter
25 graphics SPAMs which bogofilter couldn’t classify
Numerous mails returned to decafbad.net as undeliverable SPAM.

Geller seeks “heir” on TV

Calling teaspoon benders! Geller seeks “heir” on TV
Apparently Uri Geller is going to be hosting a show where 10 contestants will go for the honor of being Uri Geller’s protoge. I really hope this gets aired in the US (it won’t, I’m sure). The sd thing is there’s going to be ten people out there [...]

A quick jaunt into the political

I’m not a political animal by nature, but I’ve been very concerned about the direction this country is following. With that in mind, I give you a few links that I think you should consider:
