August 13th 2008 is the day I turn 30. Yeah, it’s been getting me down 
but the nice thing about a birthday in August is that most of your school friends are older than you – so I get to feel better about turning 30 by watching other people hit it first! It has come to my attention that another ‘old acquaintance’ has just turned 30… that bastard-child of email, SPAM. That’s right, thirty bloody years of spam and we are further from stopping it now than ever before. Definitely one of the ‘hang your head in shame’ points of working in a digital industry. If only it could be more fun – like the Monty Python sketch where it allegedly gets it’s name from. The internet and email would be a much better place.
It’s a dead bloody parrot!
