The world around us

Spammers are getting beyond just email and comments now. They have come up with a new way to spam using images or photos from popular hosting sites, instead of attatching spam messages inside an email. With this method the amount of spam we receive could significantly increase, as it becomes hareder to block images that link to popular photo sites. Spammers manage to host on legitimite sites, unknown to the owner, which makes it extremely hard for them to deal with this problem.

The intense summer heat is getting me down and I can’t wait to escape to cooler climes….don’t know when or where as yet, but something definitely needs to be done about it! I spent some time researching nice hotels in Singapore, Kuala Lumpor and Bangkok this afternoon and came up with really great results, in terms of price, ambience, location and quality of hotels. The one I liked the most was one in Bangkok, called Le Fenix, this hotel is ultra mod and is located right on Sukhumvit, which is the main road running through Bangkok. Last time we were in Bangkok, we stayed just off Sukhumvit and found it to be a great place to explore the city, via taxi or metro rail stations that run along it.

Even though we didn’t have a holiday for Memorial Day, the amount of work I had, made it felt like a vacation. I only had about 6 hours of work to do yesterday and today was been relatively light as well. I feel a great sense of accomplishment as I finished my assignment and completed both my books as well. So, I’ve managed to complete a lot of stuff today and there’s a great feeling in that, isn’t there? Now, on to picking my next book….
