Did a lot of algorithm design today. Algorithm design is one of those things I do that gets chicks all hot, as one might imagine. Something about a man with a sheet of engineering paper covered in digraphs and sigmas that makes 'em say "NP complete me, you big hunk of constraint-analyzing man-dough!". Yup, when I got a job as a programmer, I knew everyone would think it was for the adoring groupies and borderline-legal project launch parties, but it's really because I love algorithms. Yep. Mom wanted me to be a rock star.

It is the spamming hour. Reams of spam stream into my mailbox, beeping an irregular cadence of misdirected marketing money. Beep! Get out of debt without a loan (random number of underscores). Beep! Save your credit before its too late!!!! Beep! Qualified taxpayers get free no pay back grant money 3956. Beep! At last, HERBAL V the all natural alternative! Beep! ADV: Headline Stock Report - OTCBB: SSVC.

Do any of these people honestly think they are providing a useful think that people want? Getting out of debt, sure, people want that... but that's not what the service really does. There's a catch. In fact, there's something a little bit wrong with all of the products advertised. The stock is worthless, and not traded in any real-world market. All the free stuff requires you to buy a list, or information packet. Stupid aphrodesiacs have been around since the dawn of time, and they still don't work, though Viagra has created popular interest. These people are probably all aware that they are just trying to rip people off.

The existence of ripoffs just seems like open hostility towards society. Grgh. And they're all in my inbox.

All done with the teeth routine. I still hate flossing. Good thing it's habitual now, or I'd never do it.
