Heya gang,

I've heard in the past that orkut is spamtastic. Has anyone had personal experience with it?

I set up a profile a while ago and I've been gently adding bits to it without any real increase in spam, so I'm just not sure whether it's because I'm being 'gentle', or if orkut changed something(s) or if it was never that bad to begin with.

It seems to have the funky 'component' add/remove feature that I so enjoy with facebook, and since it's a Google product, I would love to give it a thumbs up (though it never will get that if it really is spamtastic).

On Being Sick...

Worst thing about a throat cold? I lose what little patience I normally have.

I'm here to tell you - that's not a lot to begin with. In fact, it's a safe thing to say that patience and I? We've never been friends.

Problem with that is that the normal work day seems to drag more than usual. My mind tends to stay relatively fast paced, but it's far more chaotic. Harder to focus.

Feels kinda like thrashing about in the water and just barely staying afloat.

I hope this doesn't come across as complaining. I'm really not all that unhappy or mopey about the whole thing - just a bit frustrated. I suppose that (in the grand scheme of things) if this is the worst that I have to deal with right now? I should be giving thanks to the gods.

Alrighty then - back to trying to focus.
