My flash parody went live this evening at Alien Skin magazine. www.ricknovy.com

Aargh! I’ve been infected with a virus that emails spam. Norton detects a dozen emails at a time, most of them caught either by Norton or my ISP. Still being stuck on dial-up probably saved me from hundreds of Japanese spam filter lists. That seems to be where most of… Continue reading →
