estiriseOkay, realized at an obsene hour last night that I hadn't paid my rent, and the property management folks get kinda nasty about that. So trekked out of the apartment at 6:12 AM (only to miss the train that I was going to get) to walk down to said rental agency. Despite everything, I only managed to be 5 minutes late to work. Worked on about four hours of sleep.
No wonder it took a two-mile walk/jog plus two cups of coffee to keep me awake today.
Just finished reading news.admin.net-abuse.email. Apparently SPEWS (Spam Prevention Early Warning System), a blocklist advice site, decided to expand a listing for a spam provider. One of the websites in the expanded listing took umbrage at being listed and started bombing the newsgroup. (People are told to post there when they've cleaned up their spam problem.)
Can I mention how *stupid* this is? The listing for said site is now in hundreds of *private* blocklists, and several people got their accounts suspended for their behaviour on the newsgroup. There's nothing more that gives your site a bad name to the admins of the world than to attack n.a.n.a.e.
*shakes head*
