For the first time in as long as I can remember, my tonbschl e-mail folder is now cleared of unresolved e-mails! Admittedly I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but there are always e-mails in there, sitting waiting for attention for months while the slow wheels of large organisations move. But now they have all been resolved, one way or another, so that's great. Free at last! Until the next e-mail, of course. I predict it will arrive within 10 minutes.
Well I knew the white list wouldn't be a permanent solution, but at least I'm only getting about 20 spams through a day. I can handle that, and maybe SpamAssassin will be able to handle it too, if I ever get round to trying it again. I'm still getting 5000+ spams a day that don't make it through the whitelist, mind you.
However, what I don't like is comment spam. I've been pretty lucky until recently - then they started on one particular entry, so I disabled that one, then they started hitting me randomly ...
So today's Saturday, right? I figure I can have a lie in, nobody will be showing up to work on the house today? Wrong. Was woken up 20 minutes ago by people talking loudly outside my window. Great.
Is it just me or is the new Sainsbury's slogan the worst rebranding ever? "Try something new today" - the only thing I'll be trying where Sainsbury's is concerned is different ways of grimacing every time their adverts come on telly. Oh wait, they said new - we've all been doing that for 5 years since they hired Jamie Oliver. Hey Sainsbury's, here's an idea - if you want to improve profits, start by finding a new celebrity chef.
From now on, I'm going to get someone way better looking to pose for my ID card photos.
