Spam 2

As a result of a recent explosion of spam coming to my main email address from here, anyone who has lyle@destruction-for-dummies.co.uk in their address books for me should be aware that the address is soon going to the great black hole in the email server. However, anything else at the same address will still get through to me.

Spam

Yes, Sarah Williams, I’m sure you visited my site and thought I wasn’t linked to enough search engines. Whoopee-Doo. But frankly, because of the six spams you sent to different domain names I own, there’s no fucking way I’d use your service, even if I was interested. And while I’m sure that www.trafficmagnet.com is a wonderful idea, so far as I’m concerned it’s a sack of shit that I wouldn’t touch with someone else’s weed-strewn bargepole.

Hardly a shock

Yet another study reveals that ‘young people’ prefer to send text messages rather than talking to people/friends. Texting (Lord, I h8 th@ word *Grin*) is now a ubiquitous activity – it’s hard to walk down the street without seeing someone sending a message. Or (as this morning) being walked into by some fucktard who’s concentrating more on how to type the message than they are on where they’re going.

In the same vein, over in Japan there’s now a “keyboard” that can be operated in much the same way (please note, the page is in Japanese, but a picture is worth a thousand words pictograms) and a US company has released a similar device for one-handed typing *insert wanking joke here*.

Still not enough to make me live there

Apparently, Los Angeles now has it’s own Top level Domain (TLD) as of today. It’s the first city to have it’s own TLD – so you can register a site at www.la. I wonder how many film studios etc. will end up as (for example) www.miramax.la ?

Personally, I already like the idea of domain names like tortil.la, cocaco.la and pepsico.la. But hey, what would I know?
