How much time does everyone spend watching swirly things indicating loading, or empty CSS pages without any content loaded? Zoho, which I made the mistake of using for hosting mail for my domain, has been like this all morning: and I haven't got to access any email. Webmail in 2024 is much, much slower to use than hotmail was in 1997. (update: it does work in firefox, but not chromium.  That's not much use when firefox keeps allocating memory until the computer falls over) (update 2: zoho mail in chromium is comletely broken.  I've just composed a mail, hit "send", and nothing happens, and nothing keeps happening, so I had to copy the email into a firefox zoho)

mountain warehouse “extreme” lightweight merino mid-calf socks have 44% merino wool, 19% polyester, 19% acrylic, 15% polyamide, 2% elastodiene, 1% elastene. They are black and thin and have no label so I guess they just become normal socks after the first use anyway.

I've just received yet another spam from Uber.  I opted out.  Yes, I've opted out several times before.     The spam from Lenovo is more interesting.  They are very determined to piss off their customers, and their geniuses in the spam department have come up with the following wheeze: the spam is dressed up as a "rewards statement", and according to their legal theory, can now be counted as "transactional" and therefore mandatory.  Never mind that I didn't get any reward points this month, nor did I ask to enroll in their rewards scheme, nor did I consent to use of my email address for anything except specific communication about a laptop purchase I did a while back. Note how they taunt the spam victim with "This is not a marketing or promotional email. You cannot unsubscribe as this is a transactional email".  If anything is asking for some anti-spam litigation, this is it. Around 2013-2014 I did take legal action against a dozen or so spamme

On the left, power-washed part of patio.  On the right, not yet power-washed.  This is a water-only treatment. The whole of St Peter Port could do with a power wash.  It's grot-n-grime central.

Again, it happened at checkout time, straight after changing delivery address. Apparently Jeff Bezos likes to have a root-cause-analysis of every issue.  Here we go, then.  The root cause of this issue is: Jeff Bezos is a drooling retard.
