I mean, at the end of the day, Craigslist is filled with perverts...
My ad, after a month, is still on page one.
I'm going to sell my Banana Pump without the perverts. There's clearly not enough of them.
So I go to Kijiji.
And, most of my visits are via people checking "See other items for sale from this user...", so the banana-pump views, they're climbing...
And it keeps me posting ads, different ads in all categories, because a surprising amount of sales come from people browsing your other ads.
So I gotta get a lot more ads out there. Drive a lot more visits. But - so far, Kijiji V Craigslist, Kijiji is winning.

And I found these as well unpacking, the last package I have - (I also sent a few off to people that I knew would use to good effect...). And I was going to sell but I think I'll send them to an old restaurant with instructions to surreptitiously put them on all the mugs...

Unpacking - Slowly - found all these old cards in one box. For those of you who would remember, there used to be - in London - Phoneboxes that all the local prostitutes would fill with their cards advertising their services. I found it novel and collected a pile, it was an infinitely renewable stash, invariably they'd be replaced the next day.
But now there are no more phoneboxes, they've all disappeared (I imagine, like Pay Phones in Canada and the US) - and the cards - I imagine - have gone with them. So - I've scanned the remaining few I have before I send them off to share with you. I have no more need of them (did I ever?) and will be sending them off as postcards. If you'd like one send me your address - quick, before they're all gone.

Uploading 1000's of photos of the kids, "Same or different", confirming who's who in my albums, validating algorithms, this is curious, it prompts me through each of the childhoods of the children, validating the AI that's saying who's who...
Now I'm sure it's all very innocent, but it seems pretty spot on at getting the boy from ages 0-22, and the daughter 0-17, and me as well, and while it's handy to have my albums sorted it occurs to me that I maybe don't want to be assisting in the inevitable misuse this technology will entail...
