Welcome, my son/life
I just retrieved a message from my Spam folder notifying me of 2004 Orientation for incoming University of Texas undergraduates. I appreciated the invitation, except for the fact that I have been admitted as a graduate student and the sender is apparently unaware of the "BCC" feature on her mail program. The message was directly addressed to 1533 people. I'm guessing that's not the entire incoming class for Spring 2004...the last address on the list is followed by a comma and I'm pretty sure it was cut off beyond that point.
I'm also guessing there were a few other people like me that should never have been sent the message in the first place. There are 310 of us with "utexas" email addresses. There probably aren't that many UT staff workers are starting college in the Spring.
I'm just glad to know I'll be part of an incoming class with "alwaysrightchica", "householdrobot", "isawyouonyourbike", "jesspoopoo", "lord_of_the_shire", "Losinsleepoveru", "monkeluvr2001", "OUCHMYFRIGGINLEG", "spitandglue", "thesebrokenwings", and "xyouthattackx".

The Pink Floyd song is no longer here, so I hope that's not what you came here for.

Posted by: vinnie at February 2, 2005 11:26 AMNo, it's not really cool, but thanks for letting me know.
It's really there so people can save it rather than streaming it. If my bandwidth usage starts going nuts, I'll have to take it down. I'll drop you an email if/when that happens.

Posted by: Emily at June 12, 2005 08:43 AMThere was too much leeching going on. Like the McRib, it's back for a limited time. Save a copy for later.

Posted by: Sam Reader at March 1, 2006 02:13 PMIt's actually wal-mart.com. I am going to refrain from uploading it again; I find 10GB of traffic in a month for a single file to be somewhat excessive.
