Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

Weekly Spam
At my personal email account, I receive a lot of spam. I decided to collect all of it for a week to see how much I received:
Number of spam: 697
Total Size: 3.55 meg
That's a heck of a lot of spam. I almost wonder how it can be cost effective for them, but somehow, the spammers seem to survive.

That assumes that the spammers are actually the ones selling the products. That may be. That also may not be — it makes sense to me that the ones making money are the ones selling spamming services, and the people actually selling physical products are just being ripped off.
That's just a hunch though. Does anyone know for sure?

I have no idea how many repeat customers he gets, or what his customer satisfaction is like.
Given the content and volume of spam in *my* inbox, I have to conclude that some people out there are dissapointed with their small, flacid penises that they got a bad mortgage rate on.
