Weekly Link Round-Up



It's been a quiet week with the only blip on my radar being a lovely soul who hacked into my Yahoo email account, sent everyone on my contact list spam, erased all the email I was saving, and erased my entire contact list. Good thing I was phasing that account out, isn't it?

On an entirely different note: I've been reading (and enjoying) Tarquin Hall's The Case of the Missing Servant. The main character is a private investigator who lives in Delhi, India. He makes his driver obey all the rules of the road, including the speed limits, and his driver doesn't like that one little bit. I would've found this amusing but not thought much of it if I hadn't watched the first two episodes of IRT: Deadliest Roads on the History Channel. The first two episodes show the participating drivers trying to get their trucks out of Delhi in one piece. I have decided that I don't want to find myself on any road in India unless I'm drugged to the gills and past caring!

On to the links!

    7. Amy-- No, it's not, but it's a seldom-used account in which I didn't keep anything of major importance. (Always look on the bright side of life....)
