Fighting spam from Rolf Skyberg

Help! Rolf Skyberg keeps sending me spam and I am at the end of my tether! Rolf Skyberg is an american computer whizz who is a techie at Ebay or somewhere and he has been bombarding me with spam under his username "rolfsky" for months now. I don't know why. I have contacted him, he "can't" do anything. Xtra (my New Zealand ISP) apparently can't do anything either. Of course I can use Outlook to filter it out there, but why can't I filter it out before it gets to me? I read my mail online so that I don't have all this stuff downloaded to my computer. I wonder if spammer Rolfsky is bombarding anyone else with spam. Rolf Skyberg - STOP YOUR SPAM!

I keep getting an email from:

See these movies!

Hambley the Hero Pug

Our film, starring Hambley. Check out rural New Zealand with the strong South Island accents. Very sweet.

Hambley the Handsome Pug

Hambley at home modelling doggy fashion. Check out his special catwalk style with his robe and slippers on.

What I have been doing with my life

Live Simply. Our garden is in the process of being rearranged. A landscape architect guy came and did a plan, which is very nice, and so now it's up to us to implement it. It's fun. Life is good. We are also in the process of talking to architects and a structural engineer about some major changes I want to do to the house. I'm talking pulling down the kitchen walls so that area will be open plan. I hope to have all the work done in October while we move out for a few weeks.

Love Uniquely. Well, we have the baby pug. Our whole life has changed. Like having a baby except they grow more quickly. He is wonderful. Pugs are perfect. We have already made a movie about him called Hambley the Hero Pug. That was fun.

Now that we have Hambley the pug we can't really go on holiday anywhere as every place is dog-free. So we have taken matters into our own hands and bought a campervan. Actually it's just a Toyota Hiace which has been converted very well into a camper by a builder who owned it previously. It is fantastic. So we intend to drive around the South Island at our leisure stopping here and there where we feel like. Starting this July, even though it's winter here in New Zealand. We have a gas heater. I bought a lantern from a guy on trademe too. He was so so so cute, I couldn't help flirting, and he made my heart flutter when he left me feedback which said: "What a great girl! Funny and really caring, thankyou." And all I did was buy his lantern. He can't have been older than 29, cool, we could have been like Demi and Ashton...

Learn Abundantly. Okay, so I now have a Certificate in Childrens Literature. There was even a graduation ceremony where I could've dressed up in a black gown, but I would be too scared to walk up and get my certificate on the stage in front of everyone so I gave it a miss.

Create Beauty. Can you believe it, the Daily Scrap want to use me as a fontographer and sell my fonts for me! I am now selling my fonts with macrons for Māori use as well. Felicity also makes a bit of dosh from some fonts she created too, called FelicityAged10, and FelicityAged10pics (dingbat font). It is very cool living here in Christchurch with her and we just love working on our wacoms and also doing films.

The three stooges



Love uniquely. This is a recent photo of us with Hambley. He's our baby pug. Aren't we lucky!

Long time, no e

Learn abundantly. It's been so long. Over a year, I am now 41. I do hope this is the way to blog. I've forgotten everything. I had to take a stab at my username and password, but I seem to have got through. I think. I will publish this and then put down some more news if it works. And a recent pic.
