Illness Update: Thanks to everyone who persuaded me to go see the Doctor. Have penicillin, will get better. The soup and ice-cream diet over the weekend also helped, as did a heavy dose of musicals. Should be back to normal in another day or two.

Enter the Animatrix: DVD out today, so I'm all caught up on these. All sorts of interesting stuff in there - backstory (both distant and recent) and just adding more depth to the world. Also looked at the comics on the main Matrix website over the weekend which another way of expanding the universe. Wah! Need Revolutions now!

Fast cars: Got pointed the other day in the direction of this neat website. Yes it's all a gratuitous promotion for BMW's cars - but with style. It's a series of short films - mostly car-chasey - with big name directors and stars. Haven't had the chance to watch all of them yet, but my fave thus far is the season 1 'Star' - featuring Madonna getting thrown around the back of (and then out of) the car, plus neat Blues Brothers reference. Be warned: Large downloads.

Grr! Arrg! The spammers have been getting on my nerves even more than usual of late. Firstly, there was a bunch sending their spam with forged From addresses at one of our domains. This of course resulted in me getting piles of complaints from people who don't know how to report spam properly. This evening, however, something even worse came along - a bunch of spammers who have their servers configured with another of our domain names on it - in such a way that any bouncebacks from their spam then end up getting bounced on to me. I got about 2,400 of these in under 40 minutes before I blacklisted their IPs completely (and I can see from the reject logs that they're still flooding in). There went two hours of my evening, and doubtless this will interfere in me getting real work done tomorrow...
