General:

A lot to post about...

    By Jack Grant

...and too little time.

I'm also having a few other problems.

A virus (I'm assuming it's a Sober variant) is using my email address to send a copious amount of spam to a NASA site.

Not good, especially since I'm a supporter of the dream that prompted the creation of NASA.

The settings on my weblog seem to be fried, and the carriage returns are not posting properly as paragraphs, so I'm having to manually edit each post.

And, I'm in Paris and trying to enjoy life, sooooooo, little time to write, even if a lot of time to think while walking along the streets of Paris and the Seine.

More later.

The latest Sober variant (I've been getting a lot of spam from that one lately too) is another one that spoofs e-mail addresses.

If NASA has their stuff together at all, they should know it's a spoof. If they don't they need to get a clue.

If they really are clueless, it might help them trace it if you politely inform them that they should look in the headers of the e-mail (or hire someone who knows the internet).

I've traced the header IPs of the ones I've gotten all over the world...

Random Fate - latest posts

We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones


Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
