Turn up the spam?

I don't recall joining anything new in the past couple of weeks, but for some reason the spam level I'm getting has gone way up. Not just email, I'm also getting a greatly increased number of additions on MSN messenger and also requests for additions to my skype freinds list from numerous porn vendors.

A curiosity, but not all that important. I just deleted windows live messenger off everything as it was mainly a way to keep in touch with SL freinds when they were offline. Ditto on the secondary skype account which is also in phaseout mode. I haven't yet put the remaining skype account in freinds only mode but I might at this rate. Its used almost entirely for regular telephone calls at this point.

Skype was another SL relic, from just before SL got its own voice capability and everybody was doing skype conference calls. Its still useful as unlimited outbound calls are a whopping $3 a month, and what everybody else considers a bug I consider a feature - mainly that outbound caller ID just does not work on skype equipment. Great for calling people I don't want to hear back from, though GrandCentral does a fine job of doing that filtering anyway.

Late Night Television Wierdness

TiVo will tune live365 radio stations. In the bedroom I have speakers hooked up to the TiVo itself instead of through the television. That way I can tune into some soothing ambient radio station, start it playing, add turn the television back off.

What occasionally happens is that the TiVo will catch some late night TV program I set it to record, which takes it off Live365 as it cannot do both at once. Then it just remains on whatever channel it was on.

I woke up in the middle of the night to some cartoon network show about a metal rock band called "Dethclock" that were supposedly something else besides, like crimefighters or some such. I can't find the show no so I have no clue what it was part of, but that was just bizarre. Wouldn't mind watching it if I could find it again.

In other TV news though, after the "adrift" episode, I'm dumping recording "Torchwood". Nothing I care to watch anymore with my now limited TV time. Used to be you could rely on BBC for quality entertainment. And this crap was a Dr. Who spinoff???
