Lycos Screensaver to stop all spam?
We’re all pestered with spam. For every e-mail I get, there is 20 spam messages. And I do have a quite powerful spamfilter, too. Even my blog, the marvellous Sigg3 dot net (you should try reading it sometime!), has been pushed with poker deals, pornography and such filth, and I didn’t write all of it. […]
Song of the day: Jeremy Bender
Dedicated to all the ravers in the nation; Pull yourselves together!* Jeremy bender was a man of leisure, Took his pleasure in the evening sun Laid him down in a bed of roses, Finally decided to become a nun. Talk with the sister, spoke in a whisper, Threatened to fist her if she didn’t come […]
In the news: "D.O.U.O.S.V.A.V.V.M."
That’s the mysterious 10 letter message written on the Shepherd’s Monument.

There was pieces of dead cow in my lunch today. I quite enjoyed it.
Keeping up appearances
I feel handsome today, here I’m sitting for an hour in the reception. My hair is not overdone, not too shabby, I’m smartly dressed in a wollen "old-man’s" trouser and a fake, black Kashmir sweater and my black leather jacket adding a rebel feeling to it all. And, of course, the never changing twinkle in […]

After less than a few days off, he begun his second draft. Now that‘s finished. I’m amazed. This is what he’s revealed so far of its contents: Someone recently asked […]

Sad(e)istic correspondance
I wrote Neil Schaeffer, the well-known author of the latest big biography of our favourite Marquis, called: The Marquis de Sade, a life.
