Friday  the Twenty-Eighth of February, 2003

An aerial photo of London by night, taken from the International Space Station a couple of weeks ago. The M25 appears as a wavering band of orange, astonishingly solid along the south-west stretch. Refocus and it becomes a dirty, gravel-shattered windscreen. [via Dan@MCiOS]  ]

 Thursday  the Twenty-Seventh

CashRamSpam; charge all of your friends and enemies a fixed amount to email you (with unspoken shades of the preposterous loveauctioneer.net) and the spammers will all give up in disgust. And if we could somehow make postal services and phonecalls cost a small amount of money, we could eliminate junk mail and cold calling as well! [via Matt]

With Bayesian filters being beaten further and further into HTML-riddled confusion, the next step in the war against spam will be forwarding addresses manned by low-paid workers who will read and filter your email before passing it on (names and addresses being blacked out, with appropriate warnings against using the service for email you wouldn't want a random stranger to read).  ]



 Tuesday  the Twenty-Fifth

Good pun, mediocre site. I was at least expecting some gullible-provoking Photoshopped kittens in cellophane.  ]
diedonline.com is a cheery web-page-graphic implementation of the dead man's switch, an ICQ 'Online' status icon for the soul; fail to return to the site for seven days and it assumes that you must have died. Perhaps rather tellingly, the site administrator is currently marked as dead, and has been erroneously toe-tagged eight times before.  ]


 Monday  the Twenty-Fourth

Think of a word that has some sort of meaning in a business context, however vague or trivial. Add the letter "e" to the front. Search for that new word in Google. Try and find a word that gets zero results. It cannot be done.  ]
