Spam to the rescue?
May 5th, 2004I forgot to plug in the power for my new laptop last night. I worked on it all evening, went to bed, and came down to find it outta juice this morning.
I thought to myself – that’s great, it lasted three hours while I was using it last night, I wonder how long it kept going after that? Not having any logging happening, I wondered how I’d figure it out.
It turned out to be pretty simple. I checked my spam folder (all my spam gets identified by Simplefilter and put in a folder). The steady stream of spam stopped at 4:30am. I deleted them all, and when I retrieved my email again, the first one was from 4:31am.
<sarcasm>Good old reliable spam. </sarcasm>

You’re right. I haven’t got a clue who you are. Probably just another comment spam
Ahh, you ARE real.
Nope, I’m afraid that must have been another Brent Ashley. I’ve run across a few on the net. Nice to meet you though.
