Got a nice hello email from Tomi.. pretty nifty that he still reads my journal!
I get about 15 human-placed anonymous lj-spams a day. I’m really not sure what they think that they’ll accomplish.. no other human will see it but me, and I just delete ’em right from being screened. no spider will pick ’em up.
Testing speech recognition with sound clips.
