I’m sure many folks have been receiving a bunch of German spam messages thinking why the hell is all this coming into my inbox. Sadly, despite working in the computer industry and getting a ton of these daily (mostly to random administrative addresses that I’m a part of), I didn’t even look into why this is happening until tonight after reading about it on a friend’s blog.

If you’re looking to find out what’s behind this operation, follow this link. If you’re running SpamAssassin and you’re looking to stop these messages, put me into your /etc/mail/spamassassin directory. You’ll need to restart spamd if you’re running it.

In other news, I went with another friend to a local church carnival. I’m pretty sure none of the folks that were attending the carnival also attend the church. Lord help the next generation of youth coming into this world. They’re a scary bunch. Anyway, in celebration of losing weight, I cowed out tonight carnival style. Cheese curds, corn dogs, donuts, french fries, chicken nuggets… and then I went home and ate a full dinner of two plates of spaghetti and garlic bread. Ahhh, the good old days. Now you know why I gain 20 pounds in just a few months time if I don’t watch what I eat.
