Blog Spam - beter watch this Big Brother!!!

I never cease to wonder at the absolute dribble that the internet continually spawns.

If you look in the top right corner of a blog on Blogspot you will see a link called Next Blog - which takes you to some apparently random blog. I sometimes just click and see what comes up. Lately I have been seeing blogs like the following - openly advertising or just bringing up some crappy references to the same crappy spam that lands in your mailbox with increasing intensity.

Guess this should be called BlogSpam - and this will put a serious dent into the fun of reading blogs - my hit rate for these rubbish blogs was about 1 to 1. Soon these Blog Bots will ruin the whole blog drive completely or we will have to move to some other Blogspam unfriendly blog place. Lots of it seems to lead to the same place
Blog Spam Central.


Some other advertising web side promotion crap:

I suggest humbly to the big brothers from blogspot who are watching over us (yes bro - we know you are out there) to cut these blogs before it ruins the whole experience.

OK got that of my chest.

I'm back ... under house arrest.

Hmmm back to blogging

The summer weather is with us - temperatures as I am typing this is 30C (12:00 at night) but with the 80% humidity feels like 37C. Thats right - all Dubai residents is again under house arrest until October and I am back to blogging.

So what has happened the last 9 months - very busy - the culture in the ME is slowly but surely driving me around the bend. Tomorrow is another day - trying to get something done in a hurry - which translates to anything faster than snails pace - just do not happen!

Why you may ask? grin So have I. No real answer - it must be in the water -seems to slowly creep up on you - and one day you just find yourself caught in the same paralysis. And it attacks all nationalities - somebody save me I feel the lethargy seeping into my bones - I have to get out before it is too late ...

Another interesting thing - even though everybody takes decisions at a snails pace they drive like demons as if they have to get somewhere quickly (see upcomming blog on that). But in all reality they will be late for the next meeting, appointment - in reality anything that has any type of time associated with it.

Anyway- before I step on any toes - this enough for today ... have to get some or other picture to publish as my image
