If I Ever Feel Better

Even though I haven’t been posting at all, I still log into wordpress periodically to check for commenters and clear out the spam.  A lot of it is just gibberish and links to porn and Viagra and all that, but there’s a fascinating psychology at foot in some of them.  The commenter links back to whatever they’re pushing but they tempt you to publish the comment with outright flattery.

My favourite of today’s bunch?

Youre so awesome, man! I cant believe I missed this blog for so long. Its just great stuff all round. Your design, man…too amazing! I cant wait to read what youve got next. I love everything that youre saying and want more, more, MORE! Keep this up, man! Its just too good.

Thank you and God bless you, Mr “online gambling”, wherever you are.

This is the point in the life of this blog when it stops being about random observations and starts being one of those travel blogs that really lazy people have instead of group emails.  True.

I fly out to Los Angeles in just one hour and I won’t be back until late January.  But I will still have crap to spout - never fear.

Apparently someone got some cables mixed up and killed my broadband, so I’m on dial-up for the next few weeks while they attend to all the people up in the Hunter without internet and then sort me out.  Blogging may be a bit scarce until then.  Sorry!
