WWW. ALEX and MARION .COM Once again, same old story.... for one reason and another, I've been too busy this past year to update this site. And despite moving home in August 2007, I still haven't told most of you my new home address or my new phone number, not that it matters much, you've got my email address if you need it!! In that vein, I've remained true to form and been completely crap at sending out the Christmas cards. Instead I have decided to send the money saved to one of my favourite charities, probably down to the next one that mail shots me. Anyway, hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year, I reeeeeaaaaally promise to be more organised and follow up the cards that arrived to my old address, as the nice lady who now lives there still forwards them!! I'm gobsmacked that it is now 2009, and suppose I better catch up with you people before I die of old age. LAZY LINKS & NEWS PAGEI'm far too lazy to bother to make a pretty web site for you to drool over so instead you get this basic page to point you to the more exciting stuff like Lorenzo, my bikes, and joy of joys... my model railway! Marion's getting something sorted at marion.fotopic.net to show the world her pictures of Namibia, where she bravely went all alone to work voluntarily in a bush clinic and also at an animal sanctuary. That was back in October 2008, she left me at home for a whole month to eat pizza and kebabs. If you're after pictures of Lorenzo the Cirneco dell'Etna (our dog!)... click here
SPAM - have you received spam that appears to come from this domain?
Spamming bastards are routinely spoofing this domain (all domains probably) to send mass mailings. I do not send ANY email from this domain except that in my personal name. I received the first 'bounce' from a message I didn't send on 19th Feb 2006. It claimed to be from accounts@alexandmarion. I did not send it. It did not originate here. It did not pass through my server. I vote for hanging spammers. There now follows a paragraph of recycled words to help my old chums find me in this monster of an Interweb thingie that I've watched grow from humble beginnings when first I discovered the joys of Mozilla in the early 90's. I used to love t'interweb, bloody capitalists! Alex Burnham first went to school in Connah's Quay, then his parents moved to Greatworth and he then went to Chenderit School in Middleton Cheney. After studying Mech Eng at Trent Polytechnic in Nottingham, he finished college in the last recession, so for a short time he lived in Havant working in Gosport selling motorbikes. One way or another, a journey he doesn't recall, he ended up as a composites laminator in Brackley and Silverstone, then, went back to college, this time local in Northampton, to study Computer Communications. Worked on IVR phone systems in Fleet then the West End of London, while living in Bracknell. Returned to Greatworth and started ZanderWeb as a freelance web guru (given up on that crazy malarkey!). Got married to Marion and moved to Helmdon. Now lives the other side of Brackley in Westbury, working as an IT manager in Luton. So there. Nowt you couldn't much find out on Friends Reunited so don't mind plopping the info here, though of course I've hidden it in nearly white as a casual attempt at preventing too many folk reading this crap! (I say nearly white, as from what I can tell, the search indexers are pretty clever and they can tell if text is exactly the same colour as the background to prevent keyword spamming, not sure if my little cheat will work... time will tell) Perhaps I'll unhide it one day... crikey are you still here reading this shit? Go on, shooo, go look at me dog or parrot or Katana! You may have noticed that I have not published my email address. This is due to lovely web based harvesting systems that would love to plop me on their lists. If you really really really need to contact me and can't figure out my email address from the clue of my name and the domain you're looking at right now, then, erm... no, I shan't be rude... please just think a weee bit harder, my name is?? And this webite is?? So what is my email address likely to be?? Or look me up on Friends Reunited... there's additional clues there. In the interest of the environment, this page is entirely safe for ALL browsers, even Interweb Exploiter works fine with it. This incredible feat is achieved by doing nothing more complicated than typing words, and using a handful of some very very basic markup tags. No new words were created for this page. All words have been used at least once before, though perhaps with alternate spellings. Letters may have been borrowed from other words, or conversely, lent to another word elsewhere on the page. All these words are constructed entirely from recycled electrons. Now go, clean out the elephant house. |
