Oops...

Yesterday, I knocked up a quick CGI interface so that I can post to this site more easily (hidden behind SSL and only accesible via a different hostname, natch). On the plus side, this means that I might update more frequently. On the down side, it means that I managed to accidentally publish several test entries. Oops. Still, normal service has been resumed. I hope.

Makes a change from Viagra

Got into work this morning to find some interesting spam waiting for me. It begins:

You\'re invited to shop for large selection of bombs and different kinds of rockets such as surface-to-air, surface-to-surface and weaponry available at reduced price. With the following types of rockets you will be able to commit terrorist attacks, destroy buildings, electric power stations, bridges, factories and anything else that comes your mind. Most items are in stock and available for next day freight delivery in the USA. Worldwide delivery is available at additional cost. Prices are negotiable.

It go on to list todays specials, including cluster bombs and high explosive fragmentation air bombs. Fuel-air explosives are apparently out of stock.

Of course, this could all be a complete con, and you may never get the megadeath weapons you order. However, if I were looking to defraud someone for large amounts of money, I'd think twice before picking a mark who was in the process of shopping around for military hardware. Then again, I'm not the sort of person who sends out spam, so what do I know.

Still here

Just a quick note to say that I'm still here, even though I've not added anything to the site in a while. I've been a little busy with a whole bunch of stuff - finishing my thesis, starting at Azuro, and moving house. I also unwisely agreed to run a six-week roleplaying game at the same time. However, everything's just about finished now, so I should be able to get round to some site spring-cleaning that I've been meaning to do for a while.

First thing, I'll be looking at moving the site over to the Blosxom version 3. I also might change over to dynamic content, depending on various hosting details. Oh, and I've updated the design little - now the news half is wider than the static content. There'll probably be more changes on top of this; watch this space...
