Why do Converse squeek so much?

Filed under: General — Charlie Pearce @ 5:05 pm

Do you know? I don’t.

My lovely girlfriend Sarah finally convinced me to buy a pair of Converse for my feet (a nice red and black pair with skulls on them), and after a good couple of months of wearing I’ll have to admit they are the most comfortable things ever.

But as I really noticed walking down the street the other day - why so squeeky? I can no longer sneek up on friends/strangers.

Still comfy though -so I’m happy.

Spam From This Domain? Not at all.

Filed under: General — Charlie Pearce @ 9:11 pm

Hi all,

If anyone is visiting this site after receiving spam that appears to originate from this domain - then please let me assure you that I am not spamming you. I hate spam with a passion.

Some virus, bot, or damn git of a person is sending spam that appears to originate from someone@cosmicvibes.net. I know this because random email address from my domain are being used as the return-path -and thus I am receiving bounced messages to my catch-all mailing account (which I will turn off once this is cleared up).

I can assure you that no program on my network or servers are sending any spam. In most cases you will see that the full headers of these emails show that it did not originate from my mail servers. However these can of couse be faked very easily (try sendmail -f).

If this continues, I may have become the victim of a Joe-Job attack (translation here: http://www.spamfaq.net/terminology.shtml#joe_job) - though I can’t think why anyone would bother to do this.

In any case, I will investigate the source of these spam emails and where possible report the abusers. However, the chances of getting anything done about this are undoubtedly slim.

Spammers: Damn them to the bowls of bloody hell!

I haven’t sold out. Honest.

Whilst I get things in order you can find me on….. wait for it……:

This is of course, because I’m too busy to do anything much here for at least a few weeks -and because my very wonderful girlfriend Sarah suggested I have a bebo page. I find I like it, but it’s not as personal as here -so this place will be re-vamped in due course. Not that much ever happened here anyway.
Could’ve been worse -it could’ve been mySpace {shudder}.

Whilst I concentrate on other things, this site will remain closed.

However, I do plan to bring it back soon with a much darker theme and actual frequent posting.

Those that really know me well should be able to look me up on bebo.com.

I write this is on 26th December, so for those that celerbrate such things -I wish you a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!

Take care.
