Somewhat annoyed at getting spam in the post last night from a company that scraped our address from the @GarageSaleTrail website.


@GarageSaleTrail Sure thing. I left it at home today, but it was some ebay type site where they want you to list things that didn’t sell.


@GarageSaleTrail I know it was scraped as there was no name on envelope, just address. Also referred to our recent garage sale!


@GarageSaleTrail Sure, will send it when I get home tonight and dig out the letter.


MOTHER–. Another delay in the kitchen benchtop. Where’s Kevin McCloud so he can patronise me and make me feel worse?


@GarageSaleTrail Here it is. The company that scraped our address appears to be @ziilch. http://t.co/jgJ9ttvq


@jannism I’m sorry to hear it. My condolences. 🙁


@andrewvalder I hope I wasn’t impugning @garagesaletrail! I think it’s such a great initiative. Just annoyed to see somebody piggybacking!

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
