Spam

A topic dear to the heart, having had over 100 comments one particularly badly timed day over on Jules weblog. It would appear, at least until Friday last week, that the spammers had been banished, using a little bit of code modified by one of our Deletetheweb community, tech whizz Mark. All it needs now is for the world's biggest e-mail spamming culprit to clamp down on it with the same vigour as their campaign to rid the world of physical terrorists. Just think, you send spam, and the next thing a laser-guided package pops thro' your study window....

Also, having my email provider eventually jump into the 20th century and start scanning email for spam so I can filter out the dross, is helping too. The upside? Well, I don't actually get any email now. Instead of the 30 odd messages a day offering me all manor of help, I know get the odd comment, note from a friend, and backups for mum's business. I've even been able to resurect one of my dead accounts, since it no longer reaches it's inbox limit (~250 emails) every day.

With all this extra time on my hands now, I'm at a loss on what to do!
