My resignation was emailed last Thursday and a signed copy delivered on Monday. July 27th will be my last day at Compuware/Proxima (I liked it better when we were Proxima).
I’ll probably cry. The people here are great.
My new job looks pretty neat too.
It’s near Martin Place, a little company in an little Babushka office.
They We provide a risk management system.
Should be interesting.
RodeoClown: resigned.

These Infinite Spaces: Dawkins Demolished
One of these days I might get around to reading Dawkins’ book. He sure seems like a nice enough chap…
Del.icio.us links brought to you today by the letter J and the number 1.
I received correspondence today with one Lady Toreth Hughes, who apparently needs my help to get a large sum of money out of escrow.
She was so distraught she actually had multiple copies of the letter included in the email.
Poor dear had her husband explode in a Spanish train bombing while he was on the way to the doctor, she is unable to conceive a child for him probably due to her cancerous problems, and to top it all off, has had a stroke. Oh, and she is computer illiterate (despite having a Hong Kong-based personal email address).
Judging by her email address she is 32, she’s also a widow with vast tracts of land, so any of my young, single, male readers may want to contact her to help with her vow to uplift the down-trodden and potentially marry her and inherit her large estates in England when she finally succumbs to cancerous problems.
If you do win her hand, remember me come Christmas.
For your reading pleasure, I’ve included her email in full below the post.
Update: I’ve reduced it down to a single instance of the main message - she had a dozen or so before.
RodeoClown: a friend to Lady Toreth. Heh!
From: Lady Toreth Hughes 52 Oxford Street, England. Hello Friend, Getting your contact was not an easy task because since I am not computer literate, I ordered an expert to seek a fellow very far away and he went to the institute of International Business to apply and he paid them the charges. I am Lady Toreth, married to Sir Richard Hughes an Englishman who is dead; he died in a train bomb blast in Spain when he was going for his medical check up in 2004.Please copy and paste this Internet link for more information on the incident http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4340881.stm When my late husband was alive he deposited a large sum of money in an escrow account which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market) with his bank here in UK.Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. I need you to help me in fulfiling my husband obligation which I am presently unable to fulfil. I will brief you more on your swift reply to my personal email address on ladytorethhughes75@yahoo.com.hk. Sincerely Yours, Lady Hughes

The Chaser demonstrate whether we learn from history or not. Looks like Turkey learnt. But the Australian army needs further education.
Warning - two swear words in the clip.
