Journal Entry Date: 14 Sept 2004
Thought for the Day: "Half-hearted attempts at your practice will allow delusion to continue entering your life. Only complete focus will stop delusion from entering, and destroy old patterns." --Majjhima Nikaya (Crosweller, Buddhist Wisdom Daily Reflections, p.269)
Thank you, Lord, for cooler days
Brought to eye/mind today: A sere world, still.
Journal:
>Heavy frost this morning with ice on the puddles. Summer was so sunny and hot this year, felt overloaded with it. Glad to see autumn, but heading into winter is still hard.
>Checking webpage links at work after the webserver was rebuilt.
>Banned IP 65.75.139.90. Ms. KatherineStuart0@lycos.com--if that's the person's real identity--insists on advertising drugs here. I choose not to assist.
>Now averaging about 250 spam messages a day.
"The term spam is derived from the Monty Python SPAM sketch, set in a cafe where everything on the menu includes SPAM luncheon meat. While a customer plaintively asks for some kind of food without SPAM in it, the server reiterates the SPAM-filled menu. Soon, a chorus of Vikings join in with a song: "SPAM, SPAM, wonderful SPAM, glorious SPAM," over and over again, drowning out all conversation." --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamming#Etymology
>My bank refused to make a payment that I set up electronically at the company's site. Recently I learned that they mail electronic payments to companies in Alaska, where I live. Beginning to research other banks.
