But I only just got a new HD

It is making those noises again, the little whirr, the clunk, the scrape. I hate
the darn noise, but I am getting quite used to it. The drive in this powerbook
is the third one it has had. It seems to eat hard drives at a rate of one a year :(

Ben is out of work

Ben Reed’s employer just closed their doors, so he’s looking for a job..

Spam, virii and foolish sysadmins

Okay, I’m getting a several hundred messages a day to my sourceforge email address, most of them are neither spam, nor virii, but are bounces of spam and virii. I really wish people would simply delete any virii they find in incoming mail. If it is a virus it has a forged “from” header, simple as that, do not bounce the darn thing.

In good news, I am now 5 months without a smoke, but if you fools keep bouncing spam and virii back to me I may have to send you free packages of cigarettes.
