I'd rather be phishing!

That's how I used to read Scientific American. The articles in Hefner's mag were much better.

Doesn't matter as long as it's short.

If there are logical parts, break them apart, otherwise I prefer them in one piece.

I'd prefer one long article, but if it is 120 pages, surely there are different aspects that can be split off into different articles. If split up, each article should be a standalone issue that is complete. I don't want to read (or print (?!)) multiple things for one thought process.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Is it long because of actual comment or is it repetitive? The latter being the biggest sin of anyone thinking like a PhD or a "published" writer (paid by the word and all that.)

Content. Besides covering the spec and its complexities, contradictions, and ambiguities, it covers implementation, unit tests, and a demo, which in itself requires a lightweight server implementation.
But critique for yourself.

I skimmed the article (the subject matter doesn't interest me); I say it definitely should be split into a series of at least two, if not three, articles.

... the text (probably translated) of the spam posts are horrendous and sometimes funny, makes you wonder if we should let the through the moderation process to make the day brighter

They do seem to have been translated from Marketese to English via Swahili and Norwegian, don't they?

I run an email server at home, and there is this one spambot that tries to send us this ridiculous spam, about 4 times a minute, 24 hours a day, for 3 years now. It is 100% rejected, every single one, easily. But they never slow down. At some point you would think they would realize that if the first million got rejected, they are kind of wasting there time on us.
Dense mother f'rs.

They're waiting for a sysop to accidentally clear the spam filter, or if it's a paid filter for it to expire.
Have you tried closing the port during the wee hours/public holiday? It may get dropped from the list if it doesn't see reaction on the mail ports (just announce it as sched maint for the important genuine users.)
Format Success.

No I don't close the port, friends and family across the country depend on it. And it's a cluster so it stays up even during maintenance.
However, I DO run fail2ban on my edge firewall (Bob be praised!)
And fail2ban rejects their coming traffic even before it hits the MTA.
Their packets just drop - like dookie on the street. It's so satisfying to see millions upon millions of dropped connections in the firewall logs.

I'll be starting at my new job on Monday.
And at my first assignment on Tuesday.
A good hour commute, have to start at 7, leave at 6 and get up at 5, if I don't want to get stuck in traffic every day 
I currently start at 10 and live 20 minutes by bike from work, I'll miss that 
Other than that I'm expecting good times 
|
|
|
|
|
07:00 start? I assume you get away early as well?

Yeah, after 8 hours I guess.
Probably half an hour lunch, so that's 15:30.

Good luck, Sander.
Up at 5, though? Doesn't the Geneva Convention protect us from that sort of thing? 
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Are you driving, or is some of it public transportation? Not to be a wet blanket, but spending 2 hours a day driving can become very wearing, and not just on your car!
On a positive note, congrats! What will be your new responsibilities?

It's not so bad when you get used to it. I've been driving 2 hours a day, to and from work, for the past 10 years. Before that, I was a consultant and I drove, on average, 5 hours a day. That was tiring.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I'll be travelling by car.
Did public transportation while I was in school, that's pretty tiring as well!
And thanks, I'll be having the same function as I have now, software engineer, but in a different environment, using different tools (but still C# and SQL Server), etc.
