Here it is, Monday. And today’s going to be a fairly busy one. I’ll spare you the details, but this has the looks of shaping up to be a pretty long week. At least this coming weekend will see an off-season gathering of the PeTA people which I’m looking forward to. I think the idea of that is going to help in getting through the week.
But I’m probably not going to have a ton of linkage during the week. If you miss that sort of thing, this would be an excellent time to contribute some links. Note that when I’m not running low like this, I tend to try and group the links together in topics, so if there’s a topic that you wanna see more about, the surest way is to submit a link or two and then I’ll work on filling in more. Having commentary with your links helps too.
- According to The Register, spammers aren’t complying with the CAN-SPAM act, but continuing to just send out their junk. That’s about what I’ve been seeing, too. The latest trick is the addition of random words to the spam to throw off scanners. At least it makes the spam really easy to hand-delete.
- New survey reveals truth about sex and the city and the fact is that if you live in an urban area, you’re likely to spend half of your adult life single. Pretty easy to guess which end of that particular bell-curve I’m on. [press-patch]
- Russell over at Survival Arts says Well hello, Dave Polaschek after noticing that I linked to him on Saturday. So I decided it was time to update my blogroll over there on the right to match the current list of daily reads. And I probably won’t be adding comments anytime real soon. Between being busy with other stuff, and having to yank the last 10 referrers stuff due to referer-spammers, I don’t know when I’ll get around to doing more coding on the website. It doesn’t help the motivation to add a cool new feature (like the referers thing was) only to have to take it away because of crap like that. [survival arts]
- After slapping together some directions for Cooking Rice on a mailing-list the other day, I decided it would make a good addition to the recipes section here since that hadn’t been updated for a while. I’m also working on making a list of Dave’s Picks Stores where I tend to shop for things, but that’s taking longer than expected. I wish Scott hadn’t killed off his Local Interest Section because there were some entries in there I’d have liked to link to.
