This Stuff Probably Isn’t Relevant Now

I try to not date what I write – I like posts to be timeless and relevant no matter when they are read, but alas it is difficult to not react to things that are happening “at that time”. Consider these posts more akin to a diary or journal.

The Saga of People Keep Using My Smegging Email Address to Sign up to Stuff

Angry Ralph

I have one of those email addresses that’s generic enough to be accidentally entered as I signed up for it with a particular service back when they first launched their email service. Without typing it out for all the world to see, it’s basically my name. It’s such a generic…
