When Six Apart, then owners of LJ, started vox, I squatted the lovingboth username and then did nothing with it except send the 'nothing much is happening' emails to a folder I never read.

It's closing. I only know because the email about this didn't fit my filter. Did anyone ever use it?

In today's email:

It didn't look right to me – 'Copy rights'? – and, yes, it turns out that that address redirects to www.2010–pdfreader.com which then wants me to hand over my credit card details to a .ru server and..

.. with luck, they'll enjoy the results of sending emails to the address I gave it.

I wonder just how many nasties there are in all of that.

After many happy years together – at least 15 – I am retiring my Psion 'brain'. The current one is literally falling apart and with limited storage plus only a serial port to talk to the outside world, its limitations are finally enough to make a change.

So this is being typed on a new HTC Desire. Welcome to the shiny side…

Edit: on checking, it's been 17 years (I got one of the first 3as very cheaply on cix from someone in Northampton – I still remember the train journey to collect it!) which I'd suspect is a personal record for any bit of kit. Incredible.
