Spam reaches highpoint

Well, it's finally come to this. My gmail currently holds 1037 spam mails. And gmail throws the stuff out after 30 days! That's more than 35 spam mails a day!

Thank gods for Gmail's excellent spam filter: I never have to worry about the stuff. I haven't missed a mail to the filter yet, and I haven't had to deal with spam since I started using it.

What is the world coming to? Or the internet? And the sad part is: I've heard spam pays of too. There are actually people who reply to mails titled "All the viagra you want". If I hadn't lost faith in your average citizen long ago, I'd be appalled.

As it stands, I simply accept it as part of the world. A sad part, yes, but one that I fortunately don't have to worry about. Alas, there are many sad parts I do have to worry about.

On the other hand, there is Google, wikipedia, flickr and blogger. There's hope yet...

BrainStorm website

Well, all you English speakers will not find usefull, I think, and neither will Dutch speakers who are not students in the same fraternity as I am. But those who are will find it hillarious.

Anyway: this site is where I have been spending most of my time on, and will be for some time to come, I expect.

New homepage

The prodical blogger returns: I suddenly remembered I had a blog here, so I might as well inform anyone who's willing to listen that I'm working on a new homepage. It's up and running, and the design is more or less as I want it. All that remains is to actually add content, but that may take a while.
