Oh man. Seems M's cold has caught up with me at last and is smacking me upside the head with a vengeance. Currently I am tucked up in bed with the dribbly nose, sore throat and headache and I'm trying to work through this. Damn it's not nice.

See that thing in the title bar? Blame Wil Wheaton for introducing me to it. I chuckled, I said it was lame, and then I stuck it up there anyway. Damn you, Wil.

Bleeurgh...

I'm finding things terribly hard going at the moment. I can feel my strength being sapped just typing this, my fingers can't seem to remember where half of the keys are on the keyboard, and I'm having great difficulty stringing together a coherent sentance. I have to stop and think about words, and letters, and where those letters are in the small space beneath my fingertips.

My throat has eased somewhat, possibly as a result of the sleep I managed to get easlier on - only an hour but it seemed to do me a lot of good. Similarly my nose isn't anywhere near as stuffed as it was, and my headache has eased, also. I guess I feel, on the whole, quite a bit better. Interestingly, answering the phone just now spurred a little headache, so perhaps I'm just very very comfortable. Heh.

I am so fricking BORED!

I'm currently typing pages of really deep and interesting shit about cattle and sheep and the need to preserve suitable grassland for grazing because the f*cking GunBound server isn't responding. Gah.

Oooh, sneaky!

Is there no end to the tricks that Spammers will try in order to get information out of people? I've just received an email apparently informing me my free listing on yellowpages.com had expired and was just about to forward it to the owner of the domain in question when I noticed some obvious anti-spam random letter junk in the subject.

Closer inspection revealed that it wasn't yellowpages.com at all, but yellovvpages.com - very sneaky! The domain is registered to one Bob Grover apparently in Singapore (!) and the original email was sent from davebeew@hotmail.com - interesting!

So of course I've forwarded it to Yellow Pages - I think they'll be rather interested in this... :-)
