Just back from a week in Kyoto. More on geisha watching and copious soba ingestion once I get time to sift and edit gigabytes of photos.

Like Newspeak [wikipedia.org] marketing speak is often silly. In this example the subject of the email is:

“Leading Analyst Determines That Collaboration Improves Business”

D’oh! Did someone pay for that research? If so maybe they should get their money back… Of course the inside copy is, while still a bit silly, much less head-smack inducing:

New Research: The Right Collaboration Architecture Drives Business Transformation

That’s not so bad… but the subject is so “no shit Sherlock,” that I only opened this email to make the screen-shot for this post.

Confusion.cc is now running on a new server. It’s been… oh, I don’t know, 4 years since I last upgraded the core server. I was running FC2 (I migrated to FC2 in 2005 because someone hacked the sendmail on my RH9 install). Anyways; all is back up now. More ram, more space, more bandwidth. Looks like everything works. Let me know if you find something FUBARed.

A simple mistake in shipping…

I also note that almost twice as many people like free drugs over legal drugs. Interesting.
