Update

Yes, back at work and back in the network. No, not posting. Today is 43°, tomorrow and Friday are forecast for 43° and Saturday is a relatively mild 35°. No air con at home, not much where I work. It is very hard to do anything when even the keyboard ends up damp with your perspiration.

Bandwidth Hungry Spam

spam.jpegFrom a recent university newsletter “A record 142,662,678 emails were sent/received in September 2008 (138,631,058 of these were rejected as spam)”. For someone who started online before .com and pretty much before spam this is just, well, somewhere past galling. I also realise that makes me a greying idealist bore. It is the cost that irks. Not so much in time but in bandwidth, it is bandwidth pollution of the worse kind, and things aren’t free or infinitely replicable online, bandwidth is our key material condition and constraint (and therefore cost).
