My name is Oli, and I’m a bad friend. ( 我叫噢力，我不是一个好的朋友。)
I’m sorry, but I know i’m really bad at keeping in touch with my friends back in England.
很抱歉，我知道我没有很好地与我在英国的朋友们保持联系。
My leaving party (a year ago) was subtitled “Because we both know I won’t keep in touch…”, and as tongue-in-cheek as it should have been, in the year I’ve been away I’ve pretty much lived-up to the low, low expectations that people had of me.
我的告别派对（一年前）的标题是‘因为我们知道我们不会失去联络…’可是在过去的一年里，我没有做到大家对我的期望。
So last week, I got an email. It was from a company called ‘SeeFilmFirst’, a service that I took advantage of a couple of times when I used to live in London. The idea is that you join an email list, and film companies send you invitations to free film screenings in London.
所以上个星期，我收到一封邮件，是从一个叫‘看电影先’的公司发来的，我以前在伦敦时用过的一个服务。那是一个只要你加入这个电子邮件列表，电影公司就会发给你邀请函去看在伦敦的免费的电影。
So anyway, they were emailing because their company was expanding to Australia, and they wanted to find people who live in Australia to join their list to become ‘founder members’.
所以他们发了邮件给我，因为他们的公司拓展到了澳大利亚，他们想找一些住在澳洲的人加入他们的列表，成为他们的‘元老级成员’。
So I thought…”I know someone who lives in Australia! Zahra!!!!”
所以我想……‘我知道谁住在澳洲！Zahra!!!
I was so excited, because I could forward this email to Zahra (time taken: 4 seconds) and basically be ‘keeping in touch’ without really making much effort. Perfect, right?!
我特别兴奋，因为我可以转发这个邮件给Zahra(花4秒的时间)，不用花什么功夫就做到了‘保持联系’。很棒，对吧？！
So I send off the email and sit back, content with how I’d turned over a new leaf of good-friend-ness.
所以我发了邮件然后坐着，非常满意自己是如何转变成一个好的朋友的。
A couple of days later, she replied:
几天后，她回复了：
What the hell!!! I couldn’t believe it. Spammers have reached a new level of cheekiness! So her account has been hacked…and now they wait until people send her messages, and then reply with cheery emails about holidays and what-not.
他妈的！！我不敢相信这个！垃圾邮件真不要脸！她的账户已经被黑了…然后他们等着别人发信息给她，然后用愉快的口气回复一些关于度假或者别的什么。
I thought it was pretty funny (sorry Z!), and so logged on to MSN to tell Jme…it took slightly longer than usual to get online because of offline messages being delivered…and up pops:
我觉得这个很有趣（不好意思Z！）。所以我登陆到MSN去告诉Jme…这个比平时多花了一点点时间因为脱机的消息发送到了…并且弹出：
Shiiiiiiiiiiiit…You can’t trust anyone anymore!
混蛋…再也不能相信任何人！

lol in this financial crisis everybody needs the cheapest way to advertise/sell their product to somebody
the same happend with a friend of mine some days ago
I suddenly got an email stating that i should visit that one site and that they have super good and cheap stuff…
the only thing suspicious was that there were around 100 people in the cc…. so yeah i asked him what it was about and he didnt know
another case was somebody who i fairly ever chat with that somebody suddenly sent me a message in english even though we are both german saying that i should check out the images from the party last night
when i visited the link my antvirus programm gave me a really big ALERT and i left the site immediatly
What are you talking about Ols?! You’re amazing at keeping in touch with your daily emails!
Oh…sorry….when you say ‘friends back in England’ you mean …. ..ohhhh I see!
我也有收到那个Berry的广告。。。
近期的MSN太不稳定了
wtf why do i see the same commenters! Oli u must be SUCH a great friend to attract friends of others :P
@chriso: do you have anybody special in mind???….
HAHAHA…
Haha I don’t mind – these guys are cool! :D
YAAAAYYYYY!!!!!
oli said i am cool :)
(even if that might seem a little sarcastic it isnt meant that way
those are my honest feelings…. lol that sounds weird)
I always laugh at my friends who are stupid enough to get their accounts hacked..

Seems like that has been happening lately, I just spam them… >:D altho I cant do that to friends…
wonder what could be done….
aiko: I sometimes try to reply to the messages (on MSN) but then they log out! So sneaky…
You know, you don’t necessarily need to “hack” someone’s e-mail account to send mail with them as the sender. The protocols involved in e-mail never ever verify the sender address, so the sender can specify anything as their own address. This is why you shouldn’t trust the sender address your e-mail client shows you, even if it seems to be from a friend.
That is true, but you probably do have to hack their account to know who their friends are in the first place (and their email addresses).
