Yes, I am bored.

According to the nifty kinda facial recognition thingamy at myheritage.com, the celeb I most resemble is Thom Yorke from Radiohead…or atleast I resemble him 73%. Oddly enough I am apparently also 62% like Joi Ito, and at the same time 54% like Roman Abramovich and that dude from Lost.

I’m a freak. I’m a weiirrddooo.

It’s taken way too long, but I’ve finally collected all the outstandings from my Movember fundraising, a grand total of $93.50.

Not a huge amount, but totally worthwhile, and I’m sure the New Zealand Prostate Cancer Foundation are absolutely stoked with the cumulative million or so raised throughout the country.

Thanks very much to my Mum, brother Adam, Ted, Jennifer, and the fellas at work.

Most melancholy song eva?

Slap me with a down pillow and call me a pansy, but Man in the iron mask by Billy Bragg gets me every time. To fully appreciate it you must of course understand the allusion to the man in the iron mask

Man in the iron Mask

When he drops you off, I will not say
Who was that who so quickly drove away…
The things you’ve done and the places you’ve been
When I open the door for you
I will not let them in…

As long as you come back to me
I will never ask
For you I will be
The man in the iron mask

You said you love me and it broke my heart
I was always your prisoner right from the start
The nights you spend without me
this house is like a dungeon
And you only return to torture me more

You must have your reasons
I will no ask -
For you I will be
The Man in the Iron Mask

Spammers stealing from charity

14 December 2006 | 0 Comments

We’ve been running this competition for Hospice New Zealand over the last 10 days and overall it’s been great…their traffic is through the roof and thousands of people have learnt something new about the services they offer.

All good, except it could have been much much better. The comp has a heavy referral element to drive friends of friends to the site via email, and with all the trouble Xtra has been having with spam volumes lots of genuine email is not getting to where it needs to be. Xtra is the main ISP here in New Zealand and as a result lots of people will not have received those emails passing on the good word. Damn those spammers.
