"Spam for Everyone", "Case for File Swapping rev. 3" and Other New Writings

It's been several months since the last update, and there are some new or updated resources on my homepage.

There's a new funny bit - "'Spam for Everyone' - The International Campaign for Accessible Spam":

Mike "The Mouse" House (a.k.a "D.J. Salinger") was a minor rap artist, and a computer geek when he decided to start selling CDs of open-source software. He turned to spamming to publicise his business, but found out that the spam he sent was trapped by most spam traps. He decided to use the notorious obscured image spam, but since he had a few blind friends, decided to also include an audio recording of a rap song with the spam message.

House received a few offers from his spam campaign, but his real break came when a few enthusiasts of the spam song shared it on the Internet, where it became an instant hit. The song eventually hit the charts and MTV, and made D.J. Salinger famous, who quickly released his first successful album called "Rap to the spam, Man!", with such highly acclaimed hits as "Rap to not get trapped" and "He ain't Nigerian. He's a Spammer!".

The Ongoing text of the "Humanity" screenplay, is now online in HTML format.

There's some new text in my Star Trek: "We, the Living Dead" work.

There's a new joke on the Aphorisms' page, and new fortune cookies on the Fortune Cookies page.

I also started a new sub-section of my Humour section where I collect humorous creations which disappeared from the Net. Currently available are GNU Visual Basic and Everybody's Free (to Ping Timeout) by Darien.

There are new links on the links page

There are a few new questions and answers in my Frequently Asked Questions list.

The Third revision of my essay "The Case for File Swapping" is now available.

I've also started an essays by other people section, with currently one restored essay - "Completely Overrated" by James Carr.

My Resumés were updated with new information..

Enjoy!
