Time standing still?

Sun, 10/10/2010 - 19:11 — svenax

As you may know if you have read up on my personal information, I used to work for Bok & Webb AB until that company folded about five years ago. For no reason at all I went to the place where we used to be today, and lo and behold, the signs are still up! I guess time must have frozen or something.

The New Creation (Genesis parody)

Tue, 10/05/2010 - 10:43 — svenax

This is possibly the funniest thing ever! A parody of The Bible by Sean Kelly and Tony Hendra, written in good old 1983. The excerpt of the first few chapters below originates here: http://www.palmyria.co.uk/humour/genesis.htm

Chapter 1

1. In the beginning God created Dates.
2. And the date was Monday, July 4, 4004 BC.
3. And God said, let there be light; and there was light. And when there was Light, God saw the Date, that it was Monday, and he got down to work; for verily, he had a Big Job to do.
4. And God made pottery shards and Silurian mollusks and pre-Cambrian limestone strata; and flints and Jurassic Mastodon tusks and Picanthopus erectus skulls and Cretaceous placentals made he; and those cave paintings at Lasceaux. And that was that, for the first Work Day.

Spammers begone!

The internet is a funny place. After bringing the new site online, it just took a few minutes until spam robots started trying to sign up. Comment spam on private web sites, that will never be read by anybody, what is the point? Well, I had forgotten how common this was, so for a little while I allowed unchecked signups (but moderated by me of course).

But I quickly got bored of deleting the phony sign-ups, so I installed the excellent CAPTCHA module available for Drupal. Sofar none of the spam robots have gotten past that, so I’m happy.
