Proper use of e-mails and the generation behind me and why we should just nuke the world

---

So life in general has gotten more insane, work has gone from being just normal insane to I'm taking names insane. But all is well on that front products start shipping here in the next couple of days so life should be a bit more sane. Addendum to the halloween party: we were all exposed to plague (whooping cough), so we are on drugs now to nip that in the butt. Though it's not a horrible thing, ended up with a four day weekend because of it. Other than that I'm doing ok, nothing really to report, the world is still flat (or round if you believe that dissilusion), my spelling is still horrible, and yeah.

There have been some interesting happenings as of late, well interesting to me ;-). Few days ago I got an automagic e-mail from ofoto.com. Now it was an e-mail confirming my account creation ::blink:: my WHAT? Now as most of you know I maintain my own archive of photos, it's rather large, extensive and contains a pile of stuff, so why would I even consider an ofoto.com account, let alone make one and get an e-mail about it. So I stare at the e-mail some more until my brain clicks in, the e-mail address isn't my normal e-mail address. It so happens to be bilbo AT rivendel, one of the domain names I own but haven't come up with a good use for yet. So I'm thinking, ok some automated bot has created an account and this is more or less spam for me. So I thought I'd at least check the site out, see what was actually put up there since I'm now linked to the account.

So I went and reset the password and logged in, sadly to find that there are pictures that have been stored in it :-( Some halloween pictures and what looks to be pictures of a young childs first birthday. I'm guessing someone just didn't want to put in their own e-mail address to create the account to get these pictures up, and put in an e-mail that happens to get to me. So, honestly I am not mad about the e-mail thing and at this point I would like to return the pictures, and if the person in question here needs an e-mail address we might be able to come to some understanding, so yeah. Ladies and gentleman, be careful what you use made up e-mails for they might actually get to people and if anyone knows who created the account bilbo on ofoto.com please contact me!

As for the generation behind me, friend of mine invited me into a chat room full of 15 - 18year olds this evening, from their conversations I suddenly appreciate my insanely thick skin more. They are a much more messed up generation than we were, more preasures and things that I can't even remember being worried about at those ages. Makes me wonder what my kids, if I ever have any at the rate I'm going, what the world is going to be like for them to grow up in, and I just hope they have the strength to grow up in it. Or we could just nuke the world now and save them all the trouble. But I'm being more cynical than I need to be ;-) Anyway night all, this plague ridden sleepy head needs sleep.
