Attention may I have a few moments of your time

*Stands on a rather dusty soapbox and tapping the microphone*

Thank you, I thought I'll begin tonight to discuss a scourge that is affecting the Internet today.  Spam!! That's right although I use gmail for my personal email and their spam filtering technology works well.  Unfortunately tonight I've received some unsolicited email in my personal mailbox.  Big deal I hear you say, BIG FUCKING DEAL, well my fellow Internet users, I clearly recall that I did not subscribe to this company's pathetic marketing spiel *opps* I meant to say "newsletter".

As a result I've contacted ACMA, Australian Conmunications and Media Authority.  They have a very handy website giving the reader an introduction to spam/junk e-mail and some useful instructions to report spammers who operate in Australia.
Unfortunately for this spammer it is an Australian business operating in Australia and I've sent the details of the email to ACMA.

I don't know about you folks out there, but it gives me this warm fuzzy feeling and smug satisfaction dobbing them in.

For those of you who are not familiar with the law, here are the relevant links to the spam legislation.

• Spam Act 2003
• Spam (Consequential Amendments) Act 2003
• Spam Regulations 2004

Ok.. that will be enough education material tonight fellow Internet Users..

*Packs the microphone inside the dusty soapbox and whips out a brown paper bag to frantically breath in and out to prevent hyperventilation*

I solemly swear to update my blog more often.. (honest)

I've found some good entertainment during my lunch hour today. Fantastic satire of those bloody "Current Affairs" tv shows and talkback radio programs.



Read it yourself here and don't forget to pay attention to the comments some of them are hilarious.



Well I'm back to playing soccer again after a six month hiatus! But it's indoor soccer, which in itself a whole different ball game altogether. It's much more fast paced compared to playing the outdoor version of the game. This suits me just fine as I was looking for something to do as a cardio work out as part of my fitness regime. The field itself is quite small.. about the size of a 25 meter swimming pool, with nets around the boundaries (even the roof) to keep the ball from going walkabout. Each half is 12 minutes long, this is long enough.. trust me. After all you are running around frantically trying to trap the ball and strategically pass the ball to your team mates.



That said.. I love it and will continue to play it for the next 9/10 weeks..

Hitman

Well this weekend was quite eventful for me, catching up with a small crowd of people from the Sam and the City blogs on Friday night. Then to catch up with a good close friend of mine on Saturday.

Sunday just slept in and played Hitman.. I fell in love with one of the songs from the game's soundtrack... you can see/hear for your self on you tube.. here

now the long trek in cyberspace begins to obtain myself a copy of the music....

stay tuned!!
