It sends me 4-6 pages per day about whether or not there's lightning in the county and I can't figure out how to unsubscribe from that. But when Amy pages me three times to meet her and Ginnie for lunch, it doesn't deliver a single one. So Ginnie started crying because daddy wasn't there, and when I finally call to see what the holdup is, Amy's totally stressed out. Now I'm back from a lunch where Amy and I didn't even look at each other and I didn't get to eat, and I have this flipping awesome pager that only delivers me pages I'm not interested in.

Awesome.

Reverend,

I would be happy to participate in your advance-fee fraud scam. Thank you for mentioning three different times that your clients will be in my country, as I have difficulty with reading comprehension and must read things at least twice before I understand them. Two is the minimum number of times I must read a concept before I understand it. If I read something fewer than two times, it's just in one ear and out the other!

Please forward me your credit card information so that I may begin preparations for your clients.

I wrote this to send files to people. It is unique because:

• It runs on any machine with Python, requiring no additional software
• It doesn't need to be base64-encoded
• It evades detection by mail filters

For some binaries, the output is still smaller than the input:

rowlf /tmp$ mbarc /bin/bash > foo
rowlf /tmp$ ls -l foo /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root  root  701680 2007-10-05 08:37 /bin/bash*
-rw-r--r-- 1 neale neale 460721 2008-07-15 21:53 foo
rowlf /tmp$ 

If you don't see the point, then you didn't need it in the first place. JP ought to get it.

Check it out

When we put food down for both of them, Jada gulps hers down and the Dink runs away. For the next 20 or so minutes, he'll approach it (sometimes) or just walk off, but either way Jada jumps in and starts chowing down. After 20 or so minutes, the Dink will eat and Jada will watch him intently but won't approach: he'll (finally) growl at her if she gets too close.

In every other thing, the Dink seems to be the alpha dog. I think Dingo has an eating disorder!

We decided that we're not a two-dog family, so Amy is going to take Jada back to the shelter tomorrow. It's cool, they haven't put a dog down in 2 years and she's a great dog who'll be adopted right away.

I still feel like a big jerk though. We're not going to look at another dog again until the Dink is gone. I can't go through this again.

We have a new dog in our house and her name is Jada. They say she's a whippet / heeler mix. I guess she could be. For such an active dog she's really mellow. We don't know what her bark sounds like yet.

The Dink has been flipped out all day.

We're gone this week to the wedding of one of Amy's sisters. We'll be back on Wednesday.

If you leave your crackers or chips open then they will get stale and chewy and gross. I am sick of closing your bags of crackers and/or chips.

Sincerely,

Neale

Ginnie said this today after Amy told her she wanted world peace.
