There once was a woman

Today’s massmail joke is:

One day, long, long ago…….
there lived a woman who did not nag or bitch.

But this was a long time ago…….
and it was just that one day.

The End

Ham Toss - most useless site. On second thought, maybe not!

I spend massive amount of time on the Internet, partly due to my job. In that time, I have come across a wide array of websites. I have seen a lot of useless sites, but thanks to a recent mass mail email mistake by the insoshi.com project my email became available to a lot of people, and some of them turned out to be spammer. What a surprise there, right? Anyway, one of those assholes sent out this sites - hamtoss.com. Now I know I have seen the most useless site.

You know what? Thinking about it as I write this, this site is not useless. At least not for its creator(s). Its purpose is to collect emails for that spammer. It shows you, the casual surfer, a silly animation. You like, you think it is funny, and you fall in their trap - “wanna know when we toss something new?”. You read this, seemingly harmless, words and you provide your email address. Damn that’s genius.

I think I will use one of my SPAM trap emails to see how this turns out.

Way to go Microsoft!

I was going through old emails in my email inbox and I found an old event promo email from Microsoft. The email was about the Microsoft Connections Event for Small Businesses held in Lincolnshire. What was funny about it was that the event was from 8 AM to 12 PM on the day I received the emails 15 minutes after the event had ended.

Way to go Microsoft, sending out a mass email, about an event you had organized, 15 minutes after the event had already ended. That was really useful heeds up wast of my time.
