sir spam-a-lot

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.04.02

I have a friend who calls me "Sir Spam-a-lot" because of the odd outburst of "spam" on Facebook I cause.

These are created by breakdowns of Facebook's RSS reader feeding from my website. I've since given up even trying to get around the problems there.

Today I once again caused a spam outbreak. But today's spam outburst was something new—it came from my email client. I'd discovered that my mail service provider had made a change to their configuration without telling me, and that this was causing mail on one of my PC's to back up unset. When I corrected the client's configuration, 25 emails went out.

Sorry, everyone!

Capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker.

—Karl Marx
