With warm gyros and maybe some feta cheese and the obligatory 'zwiebsalasose' or 'alles'... (possibly channeling dubbed Homer Simpsom there). Oh, and <em>that </em> mailserver is only hosted in Karlsruhe (or have they moved to Montebauer(sp?))? This site, on the other hand, is hosted in Arizona. In the end, I sorta kinda sent my c.v. off from hotmail. Thank God that's reliable and sends out a "I'm serious and have a firm grip on technology" message. Okay, try again. Thank god I actually went to the lab and dropped off printed out copies of the application in person. Modern technology? Pah! Mount Penguin: Mmmm, PITA.

It's a right PITA sometimes but I only have myself to blame when it goes down. Given the amount of spam flying about these days it's a miracle it works at all though. A colleague who administers a small commercial mailing list service reported recently that they were getting about one genuine mail for every 100 spam mails; I hate to think what a place like 1&1 has to put up with.

If someone wants to buy me a macbook for my birthday, I would be very grateful. It would probably cost less than dinner at chez bruce, say. Especially if one ordered the saint-emillion for the year of my birth, Whether it’s the laptop’s fault of not, I agree entirely about its uselessness.
