Ohhh... not good.

Seems BootBlock's mum isn't too well after suffering with the World's Worst Neighbours for the past few months. That's so not good. Please take time out to leave a note or comment on the site. Offers to deal with the neighbours are appreciated.

Cracking on.

I've got so much work on now that it's piling up around me. I am sitting at a desk that's almost covered in paper relating to various jobs and just trying to keep ahead of things. It's at this point that I want to offload some of it onto someone else (read your email, BB!) so I can concentrate on the technical stuff that I'm deeply into these days.

The Scotland Job is going well - I have a basic layout of the main site done and I'm currently ploughing my way through the admin area. I don't see any major problems in getting it finished by the deadline but... you never know. There's always something that can go wrong and put you back.

Rule #1 of Web Design Project Management: Always double your time estimate!

Spammers are teh St00pid.

I don't get the mentality of some spammers. I occasionally get email with no links, no valid return address, nothing - just spammy garbage. That's the point of that? A wise old copper once taught me, "Follow the Money", but in these cases there's no trail to follow so why send out the bloody email?

As for the amount of bulk email I get, I think the quality of spam lists must be dropping or something, because I am getting the same messages over and over and over again to the same accounts. Do these people seriously think that these illegal, misleading and downright offensive messages ("Young Cum-Soaked Sluts!") get more attractive and interesting the more I receive?

And that, is my theory on Brontosauruses.
