Why is it the blog spammers never seem to be able to speak English? Here’s a few recent examples :
- I’m love this great website. Many thanks guy
- i try to find something at google.com and take it on your site…thanks
- Best site I see. Thanks.
Hello there! Just want to say that I find your site enough interesting for me. Usefull information and all is good arranged. Thank you for your work. I will visit your site more ofter from now and I bookmarked it.
- Nice site. Thank to work…
- Great job guys… Thank for you work…
- Hallo I absolutely adore your site. You have beautiful graphics I have ever seen.
Well if nothing else at least they’re encouraging and courteous 
Wouldn’t do them any harm to learn a little grammar though. Having said that I must confess I was reading some chapters on English grammar last week (as part of the Greek book I’m working through) and they put me to sleep - so maybe that’s what happened to the spammers - fell asleep during English!

Got emailed this morning to say that yet another replacement Palm Treo is on it’s way to me. If I’m lucky it’ll arrive today. Hopefully it’ll be third time lucky and this one will work properly!
Also on my way is my espresso machine which my coffee making friend tells me should have arrived from Italy. Bought myself a speccy looking coffee grinder yesterday so hopefully within days I’ll be able to start (and finish) the day with some fine espresso, cappucinos, machiatos and other more exotic beverages. Once I get the hang of using it that is.

There’s few things more demoralizing than when you go the extra mile for someone, really put in a lot of effort to help them, and then discover second hand that they are still unappreciative and unhappy with you. There’s times I’d like nothing more than to spend my days locked up in an office with a computer or microscope and not have to deal with people. Working with people is a risk - some will not appreciate you though you put in a huge effort on their behalf, while others will overflow with gratitute for something small that I wouldn’t even usually consider important or special. The trick is to not give up on the former group, and to draw strength and encouragement from the latter, while all the time remembering there’s a higher calling involved too.
Oh well I’ve procrastinated long enough - time to call the next person in and keep moving. I will be very glad come the end of today though.
