I’ve been away from my computers this weekend (gasp! must get a powerbook), so when I returned this evening I had a whole bucket load of mail to download. Finger-in-the-air statistics estimates that about 70% was spam, 25% was list mail, 4% was auto-generated notifications (wanted) and 1% was personally addressed to me. We’re talking around 700 emails total – so that makes 7 emails from another human being specifically to me. Sounds about right – but wow. Signal-to-noise of 1:99?

I had a pretty turbulent week last week, so it was good to get away for a couple of days. Amongst other things, on Thursday someone ran into my car and knocked me for six. I managed to get my car patched up, but my neck is still giving me grief. It’s a big bad world out there, kids. Stay indoors if you can.

I’ve got loads of stuff I want to post about this week, but right now I’m tired, in pain and after driving all afternoon see nothing but road when I blink, so I’ll give it a miss. Here’s to a better week.
