Yet another example of why I need to set up a proper photo blog… Here are some shots I took over the weekend so far, cats, lan party, spiderman, and such randomness. I’ve been trying to experiment with cropping and the positioning of the subject in the frame to try to create a sense of […]
Over the last couple of weeks my spam filter has slowly been getting worse. I don’t know if it was curruption in the database, or the spammers getting smarter, or what, but I would wake up with about 30-40 spams that had slipped through into my inbox, and over the day get one or two
