to give is to nurture expectations as unjustified these might be (one can watch that at antville, too).
that's probably why there are more and more people taking rather than giving, anyway.
i mean, essentially greed is our biggest social problem these days.
this anxiety of not getting enough makes me anxious.
jesus will hug you for this entry, you nasty l'il hypocrite!

dis à ton capitaine que je t'aime dis à ton capitaine que je m'ennuie sans toi. – france gall, "dis à ton capitaine".
typographi.ca: "it isn’t so much the logic that governs my frustration, more [jakob] nielsen's pompous attitude that 'everyone on the web is over 60, wears glasses, and hates flash'".
via from there: "welcome to centralstation24hr.com. on this site you will find stills from the titles of 24 hour party people, an insight into the people behind the work and any contact details you may need".
blogger is now available in portuguese, too: sorry to say that it's even slower than blogger.mum.
but it looks like a good masterplan to expand to some exotic country...
reminder to myself: currently, the internet is a temporary autonomous zone.
just a few no-nos about spam due to the rise of the latest antville macro:
no, i don't think fake e-mail addresses will stop spam but it's already a winner if some more attention is drawn to this lousy topic by jörg kantel's initiative.
no, i don't think it's a good idea to send "remove me" replies to spam e-mails. according to the electronic privacy information center "'remove me' options on spam are often fake. that is, if you respond to request removal, you very well may be subjecting yourself to more spam, because by responding, the sender knows that your e-mail account is active".
no, i don't think we should use images to communicate e-mail addresses because that's the real nonsense. why then not build your site with photoshop at all? it's already enough that german mastheads have to be fitted with address gifs.
no, i don't think the old usenet strategies will help. it's not that they are generally wrong, but they have some distinct goals and look a little bit, uhm, yesterdayish.
no, i won't call spam anything else than spam. why the hell should i? both, unsolicited e-mail and hormel's product are inedible like a cup of hot pus and as necessary as a hole in the head.
last week-end revisited.
a great party at the sensomatic homebase on saturday. nice people, excellent food, entertaining slides.
an incredibly instant moving day on sunday thanks to zita, axel, pimi & flo, klaus & klaus and jo. not to forget the lekker dinner cooked by gunda, the new flatmate. thank you all a heavy-banana-box lot!
new address notification will be following, soon.
now i feel quite tired and wish i could take some holidays... and guess what? i will do: on thursday i am off heading for the french atlantic coast. woohoo!
