I hate phone companies at times. When they work it is fantastic. When it does not… Well. You know. Right now I am waiting for a phone company to return a network connection to a server. They ‘accidently’ disconnected an ADSL line. And it is taking some doing getting it reconnected. I will not mention the name of the phone company to protect the guilty… But they should be hung, drawn and quartered.

I also am now getting mail in on my radioactive.net.au domain. Most of the messages are SPAM that are being sent automatically to the bit bucket. But there are also real messages for the previous user of the domain. This user was getting Heinz recipies emailed weekly to her. The message says that if you want to unsubscribe you need to click on a certain link on the site and they will delete you. But the link does not exist. When I found the option to unsubscribe they wanted the password, which I did not know.

The Lost Password option wanted the name of the suburb which the user was born in. The Web Site does not have an email address or a phone number. I just replied to them saying unsubscribe in large unfriendly letters, and I hope they deal with it. Thankfully none of the addresses getting mail are ones I will want to use so I might as well just reject mail to them…
