We went to see this film last night which was hilarious. A great film with good special effects which don’t really on really blurred, fast motion, long distance shots so that noone realises that the picture you are seeing at the moment is computer generated. There are a lot of funny lines from Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Yet again I spotted a boob in the film (not that kind!!!! – there are a couple of shots where you can see the heroines bra strap yet they were not invented until way after 1900!)
You would have thought that people would have turned off the email notification by now.
I’m very tempted to set up an automatic response to postmaster@ as below.

I did not send this virus. Can i suggest you turn off these notifications as all they are doing is clogging up all the email servers which are struggling enough already!
Thankyou.
After my dreadful experiences with ebuyer, I sent an email to ebuyerdotcon with details. Ebuyer have now sent a solicitors letter to ebuyerdotcon asking him to cease and desist on his domain name and complaints. It’s interesting that this came to light this weekend as there has been a lot of news over this week about the rights of bloggers in the US to give their opinion under Freedom of Speech, and also not to get sued for libel either. Wired posted about this last Tuesday. Unfortunately this blog is based in the UK, but I think that ebuyer would have a major problem if they tried to take this any further. After all, they don’t really want all their disappointed customers brought in as witnesses do they?
If you’ve ever needed to give an email to a website that you don’t trust just to download a file or register on a bulletin board then there are several options. I’ve already covered SpamGourmet which has emails that hides the email and times out after a certain number of emails received at the address, spammotel which provides random email address’s to mask your real address, and I discovered a new one called mailinator where you can pick an address at random and a mailbox is created automatically at the mailinator domain but *anyone* can access the mailbox so treat it as a throwaway, insecure address
Thanks to Joy’s post about 1988 I’ve found out that Stryper are reforming which should be *interesting*. I liked their music even though I discovered them a few years after their prime. Thanks to Grabbing Sand for the original news post.

Dilbert has a very appropriate reason why virus’s spread.

Grrr – I am unable to send mail via pipex at the moment as the server smtp.dsl.pipex.com is immediately dropping outgoing connections. Call Logged
Update 2 Reboots later and its all working again – no response from pipex though.
