My first name @ the domain of this site is hereby officially shut down. It had been over the mailbox size limit for a few weeks and I finally went to empty the whole thing a day and a half ago. Just now I went to see what mail had been arriving since the server stopped sending the 'over limit' bounces, and it had gone from 0 to 7,394 messages in that time. That's 5,000 spam messages a day. Gah. The last time I checked, which was only a few months ago, it was somewhere around 500-800/day.

This is insane. So, farewell stewart@sylloge.com! Eat shit, spammers! And, hey, ISPs, AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft: get off your asses and implement authenticated send or tokens or whatever already.

If you need me, it's my first name* @ the domain of my company.

*My first name is Stewart (not Stuart).

Comments:

yeah but you could just alias Stuart. Why are you making us do the work?!*

*That's an interrobang.

Oh, there is an alias. It is just kind of weird how often I get email addressed to stewart@---------.--- that begins "Hi Stuart" (or even "Hi Steven"). Innit!?

Destroyed I am. I was a serial being, but now consumed into parallel information. My vector is rotated and now I sit sideways to my human dimension. Sprawled across the world, I have become pattern only. I have been witnessed, eaten. And now my information won't persist, it won't behave like matter. It'll degrade. I will degrade. I am just pattern, and my only hope is to reinforce myself. To create feedback, because if the information which forms me reproduces into your head, then part of me will exist in you. I shall be distributed like the metabolic cycle. Every time you speak, you will speak my flesh. Every time you listen, you will consume my flesh. I will exist among you and through you. I shall be redundant encoding, an infinity of ghosts. But I shall persist, a new one among you.
