SPAM for President!
Damn, yet another potentially good job has slipped my fingers. And once again they didn’t want me because I didn’t have enough experience. The story of my life, it seems. How, then, am I supposed to get experience when I hardly have a job? OK, so I’ve got a job. And I’m happy about that. Stop complaining already!
You probably all receive a butt load of SPAM in your mailbox every day. It’s an ever growing problem, and the only reason I cope with it is because I’ve got a well-trained version of POPFile running in the background. Since April 8 2003, I’ve received 8,996 e-mails on my two mail accounts. 5,342 of these were SPAM. That’s almost 60%. Lately I’ve also been exposed to another form of SPAM: Reference log spamming. Short story follows.
Going through the logs generated by Webalizer I discovered that I’d had four hits from the URL www.sharpton2004.org. Interesting, considering that this is the Al Sharpton For President site. I seriously doubt that Al has linked to my site from his. So he has a bot dumping reference SPAM in logs. Nice! You’re not getting my vote, man! If I could’ve voted, that is.
I’m heading out for a few beers with Terje now, and I’d like to end this post with a very sexist and offending, still hysterically fun quote found in Freon’s cam blog-thingy. Which is gone now. Or maybe it wasn’t even over at Freon’s I saw it:
Nothing I hate worse on a chick than a flat, square ass. I’d still fuck her tho - pussy is pussy. I just wouldn’t like it as much.
Good night.

Hallvard1st!
ianthis is reminding me of the guestblock thing over at differentsky.
that damned webjones keeps pipping me to the first block… but i usually get there second!
DISCLAIMER: I’m not the one responsible for the links in Ian’s comments opening in new windows. That little brat did it himself! Shame on him!
They also do that 1st-comment thing on sites like DeviantART. And probably a million others.
toroThanks for the explanation ian :-) hehe i think i probably have to read it a couple of times before i totally get it… but it makes things much clearer…
Cheers…(a VB cheers) :p
ianoh, come on, vegard! it’s so you don’t lose your place here! the last thing i do when i click on a link here is to actually leave www.vegard.net :)
toro: glad to have helped in some way, though i will point out that i’m not a big fan of victoria bitter. in fact, i’ve got a slight reputation for drinking imported beers… :P
I just try to give the people what they want. Or what I want them to want. So I let them decide if they want a new window or not. But what you want is entirely up to you. Life is good, isn’t it?
Yep.
