Best SPAM ever…
06.10
How often have you had an e-mail from someone named Nourishing Spermatazoa?
Granted SpamAssassin and Mail.app had already filtered it to the Junk folder, but I just had to read this because the name was so hilarious. After all, there are sometimes gems worthy of hearty laughter in the Junk folder…
So I present to you the content of this wondrous SPAM…. a SPAM that indicates that a product called Spur-M can make my sperm swim better (motility), and increase something called my semen count. I know there is such a thing as a sperm count, but a semen count?
And you may take note of the fact that the endorsements in this e-mail come from Germany and the UK, where apparently, spammers feel the men are susceptible to such marketing…

“I just wanted to write and thank you for Spur-M.
I suffered from poor sperm count and motility. I found
your site and ordered Spur-M Fertility Blend for Men.
I have wondered for years what caused low semen and sperm
count, and how I could improve my fertility and help my wife
conceive. Spur-M seems to have done just that! Thank you
for your support.”

“Spur-M really does help improve fertility and effectiveness
of sperm and semen motility. I used it for the past few months,
and not only does it work – I also feel better to. I have
more energy. This is an excellent counter to low sperm count
and motility. I’ll be buying more!!!”
Franz K., Bonn, Germany
“I had been wondering on the causes of low semen and
sperm count, I was searching for this type of information
when I found your site. I hadn’t been made aware of this
product before then, so was quite surprised to be able
to find a Male fertility product. Usually everything is
geared towards female fertility. Suffice to say I ordered
and a few months later we received the good news from the
Doctors – My wife is pregnant. I can’t be 100% sure if
it was Spur-M that helped. But I am happy enough to be able
to say it should be considered by any man looking to increase
his fertility. It worked for me. Thanks.”

Tim is CRASI…
06.07
My old pal, Tim Nee has finally documented the CRASI methodology which we experienced over and over while working as consultants.
Here’s an excerpt:
Regardless of the methodology a software project claims to follow, in the end, every software development process follows the same methodology, CRASI. Here are the five phases of the methodology:
Confusion
Rage
Acceptance
Shame
Indifference
