New start

A new start for my blogging career!

Let's see how it goes

Yet another scam, this time from China

I got this fabulous offer: just answer to a few questions, and I'd be given lots of stuff.

Hmm.

This was marketed by spam. No indication who is behind this marvellous offer is to be found in the www-site, and the domain was registered just a few days ago.

I have to admit, the spammer's Finnish is pretty good. You can check it at here until it's gone

I'm gonna be so rich by answering all those questions!

Help from suprising people

My ex-workmates were planning to have a beer (or three, if they're following the familiar routine). Due to the moving I couldn't go but I sent everyone an e-mail revealing that we're moving.

I was very happily surprised that one of my ex-workmates lived for a few years in the same part of Switzerland we're moving to. He sent me some advice and links to net resources, which will probably prove to be invaluable.

Thanks!

Moving to Switzerland

Great changes are occurring for me and my family. Tatti has already moved to Switzerland, and the rest of us will follow on February.

Lots of changes. Kids will learn a new language, get new friends. We'll be getting used to a new environment.

I'll keep you posted. It is likely that there are quite a few funny and sometimes frustrating occurrences.

Way to go, Britons!

When you're occupying a country, things turn sour and try to find a way out, what would you do?

Well, one course of action is to try to get a friendly goverment in place running things, as the coalition has been trying to do in Iraq.

All fine and dandy, but the place doesn't quiet down quite as you would hope. Then a couple of your soldiers gets arrested. What do you do then?

You break into the prison with a tank, release your two soldiers (along with 150 other inmates).



*BEEP*, Wrong answer.

The joys of parenthood

I'm really sucker for my kids grabbing my neck and saying "I love you, dad!".

Do they do it on purpose?

Soprano decided to spam me again!

This is my favorite peewee: why on earth companies insist on spamming people? It just creates bad karma.

A few weeks ago Soprano spammed me, and I duly reported the incident at sfnet.viestinta.roskapostit.
I sent them a response telling them to stop spamming any of my domains.
I also called Academica, where a guy that called himself "Suhonen"
told me that he'll do something about it.

I also asked him what their anti-spam policy was. He couldn't tell
and told that mr Broadstreet" would be able to discuss the matter
with me, unfortunately he wasn't in at the moment. I left him a message
asking him to contact me.

That call never came.

Now Soprano spammed me again. I'll have to call Academica again. Stay tuned!
