I am way too depressed. I gotta get me some oomph...

Unless you have not been reading your blog-o-sphear as I have you will know about the blogmysite dot com threat.

This anti-blog spam site have a ew script that could flood your comments with masses of anon comments to advertise thier paying clients

They are very deffensive about this technique and clame they are the first (they are not - auto comments started in the porn industry years ago

They are going to be targetting blogspot hosted sites and claim this url: http://www.blogmysite.com/faq.html suggests they post as an anon user... that said they autosign up an account so the signed up members only setting might not work.

Join with those bloggers, telling the world and urging blogger.com to block the website.

Imprimatur: Center for comment SPAM - Take the war against spam to the evil doer!: "'Our blog blaster also auto subscribes you in 1 click to the blog sites that require a (free) username to post. Then, it is 1 click sending of your ads daily.'"

The issue number (1-195821489) is the ticket number for this issue as raised with the sites hosts. The host company is Network Solutions and they strangly refuse to discuss this issue via email.

Perhaps some one should call ICAN and complain (Network Solutions are an ICAN registrar!). Meanwhile tell your friends, post a notice and beg blogger to protect us - or simply use an external commenting system like haloscan.

I'm not sure if I should keep going with the talker. I know I should keep going and I should say beautiful things about my fave blogs... but I've been in such a bad mood these past few months with my son still missing and the builders, outside my flat, making a dogs dinner of the job in hand. I wonder if maybe it is time to call it a day.

I wonder all this and then I keep going anyway... I think deep down I must be completely insane.

One blogger that needs a link and a lot more great stuff said about him than I have the wit to say is this guy: DuDu's Dad Desz" his blog is something I look forward to reading on Mad-Den Traffic and with him being one of the top three users (in terms of credits held) I think I can expect to see his blog for a long while to come.

"Inspired by my son DuDu, motivated by love, I will write as I think fit, without prejudice, fear or favour. All in the name of fun. "

So by way of apologising for being a grumpy-arse here is a great blog to go read.

Mini-me is doing well and gurgling his way into the world of solid food. As long as he can survive his sisters enthusiasm for trying to feed him (chocolate, raw potato, next doors cat...) he will soon be learning to feed himself.

The mini Beautiful Talker is currently asleep in the corner of the room which is just as well as it is totally distorted by a day an afternoon of regular tiny person activity.

Still I remain convinced the world is going to be a better place for having more of me in it.

I have just been reading about Snapfish apparently "the fastest growing" online photo service, which I guess means they are reasonably popular with nine million members and more than 250 million photos on the Snapfish system.

They claim "We have been rated the number one online photo service in surveys from PC Data and received top quality ratings from Popular Photography and Yahoo! Internet Life. Snapfish enables digital camera owners to share, print and store their favorite photo memories at low prices."

The reason I have been reading about these guys is that there is an advert campaign comeing up for them on my network and I have read that "Snapfish has agreed to be acquired by Hewlett-Packard"

The press release goes on to say: "Together, they will be able to provide the most comprehensive digital photography solution available."

Have my regular reader(s) tried these guys and what can you tell me?

This is the score as I go to bed:

Scotish National Party: 1 seat (retained)

Conservatives: 1 seat (Taken from the Labour Party)

Libral Democrats: 2 Seats (Retained)

Labour: 41 Seats (all retained = one lost none gained)

I can only hope that the people of my home town have seen reason.

...and now it is hot hot hot with bright sunshine and no air... ...so naturally I was forced to go to the pub for a cold drink.

Shocking(!)

Well the sunshine has gone and now it's raining out there. There might be plenty of water bt there is not a drop to drink. A burst water main has denied us access to free flowing water.

Actually I'm going over the top I have just had a nice hot drink as the water has been reconnected but there was the chance of a day without water.
