My ruminations from the world of Dip Ed

How do I know that these things are true?  Well, I know the spam is getting smarter because I got some kind of spam-filtering device put on by the nice people at UNE and for some time there was no spam at all.  Now there are two German language spam emails on my account at une and one spammy message waiting for me in the comments here.  this worries me - are my filtering efforts just educating spam software until it becomes like the machine that ran theworld in The Matrix?

I know I’;m getting older because I had a birthday party yesterday and am now 46, where I was once 45.  I didn’t mind 45 and could have done that for much longer.  Now I don’t feel that I have the seriousness required for 46, nor the long list of achievements.  On the credit side, I had a great birthday party and I’m looking pretty good at the gym.  I’m on my way to my ideal weight which is 74 - 76 kilos.  This next five weeks the target is to get down to 77.80, one kilo less than my weight at the end of the last 5 week period  (my work operates in 5 week cycles, so I’m starting to think in 5 week lots).

S tudy wise, this is the week for doing the next esl assignment - 3000 words of linguistic analysis.  But first I must have lunch, drive to work and do my IELTS reaccreditation and clean my desk. We’ll see, but I WILL get some done today.

yours undistractibly,
