Motherf@©kin’ sp@mmers

In the latest post at the Dreamhost Blog there is some vociemail from a guy who believes they are the source of all his spam. And man, is he pissed off. He is going to kick their little asses. Legally.

Explorer beta

Got around to installing the latest IE beta. Not a bad browser, once that damned anti-aliasing is turned off. Still, it’s only catching up with Firefox, and not the leaps and bounds ahead such an update should be. I’ll stay with FF.

Tuscan Whole Milk. At Amazon. Attacked by reviews.

Aches

Since I wrote about the Mirra chair I’ve really come to think about how much my bad seating affects me. Don’t get much done when you have to get up every 15 minutes. Have to do something about that.

Stumbled on China Miéville’s Perdido Street Station at the library. Grew bored with fantasy a long time ago, but this “New Weird” stuff is refreshingly different.
