I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If someone has a very agressive popup-blocker, the Javascript "Alert()" function will still work, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just got an e-mail telling me that my ebay account had been suspended.

And to go to http://cgii1ebay.com/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI/ddl/ to log in and update my eBay records, but it also says:

you are prohibited from using eBay in any way. This includes the update of your actual account.

So, anyway, not logging in there (although it didn't accept my fake password), seem to still be able to log into ebay proper -- the weird thing is, the neither the subject header nor the domain name turn up anything in google.

Domain registry is a bit of a giveaway, but still. Kinda spooky to get something phishy with no evidence already out there on the web.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Did you forward it to the ebay address they have for forwarding those things? I was getting a whole bunch of them about three/four months back.

D'oh. I forwarded it to the last mailserver domain to touch it, as well as the hosts for cgii1ebay.com.

eBay may be even more interested.

It's something like spoof@ebay.com, I think.

I found a form on their site and just used that.

I feel all early adopter and shit.

eta: also useless, since their form bounced the mail back

Strawberry disappointment.

So I'm going to install a new motherboard at the weekend. Any hints or tips? Any hidden pitfalls to watch out for?

About time with their piece of shit, security-compromised software.

I need to try Firefox, to see why it's making a dent, and Opera never really did.
