link-builder spam
[04:11 pm]
This has a very spammy feel to me. Anybody else received one of these?
I discovered sashadesign.com in Yahoo, my favorite directory. I am requesting that you create a link from sashadesign.com to my client's web site if you feel that their content is in some way related or complements your site. In exchange, I'll post a link from their site to yours.
Exchanging links will help bring in more business for both your web site and my client's. An added benefit is increased search engine traffic because the search engines rank sites higher that have a good number of relevant links.
This is not a free-for-all link exchange, I don't waste my time with them and you shouldn't either. I am only linking to related web sites so that all my links are relevant to my site.
I would like to send you my client's web address, so that you can review their site. My client utilizes search engine optimization research and technology for top search engine placement.
Please let me know if you are interested in exchanging links. I'll send you more details once I hear back from you.
Looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Leslie Oneal

St. Jacob's Farmer's Market
[11:52 pm]
This Saturday Igor and I visited Kitchener area, which is an hour drive from Toronto. It was the first time I visited this place. The reason we went was to escape the big city for a few moments and to buy some food from the Amish people. We also bought some stuff at St. Jacob's Farmer's Market where I took a pic of a human statue.
All in all, we had a good time . . .

Sample credit card numbers
[01:14 pm]
In the last few days, I was developing an online form which asks the user to enter his/her credit card information. There are many issues that need to be addressed when such an online form is created, and one of these issues is credit card number validation. Is it a valid Visa number? Is it a valid MasterCard number? For testing purposes below are sample credit card numbers for major credit cards, which you can use while testing:
Visa 4111 1111 1111 1111
MasterCard 5500 0000 0000 0004
American Express 340000000000009
Diners Club 30000000000004

Sasa Kulic, but not me?
[10:35 pm]
Isn't the Internet a wonderful place? I received an email a few days ago:
My name is Sasa Kulic and I am from Sarajevo as well..how strange
I find it strange too, but I wasn't surprised. I knew that a person, with the same name and city of birth as mine, exists somewhere. Long time ago, the same person won a contest in Sarajevo; several people congratulated me when they saw my (his!) name in the local newspaper.

Fedex
[09:37 pm]
A few days ago, after starring at the FedEx box for a few seconds, my brother pointed out to me the arrow hidden between the letters E and X. Very subtle perception, I must admit.
