Generating coincidence

You are visitor number 1.000.000! This is no joke!
Our coincidence-generator has selected you as potential EXCLUSIVE WINNER for a Mini!
">>> Click Here <<<"

What? Is that seriously meant to lure people into clicking?
Let's analyse that for a minute.

1. "You are visitor number 1.000.000!"
   So you're saying that I'm the millionth visitor on a 12 year old website with 1.420.161 registered users. Not to mention you told me I'm the millionth visitor twice by now... on two different computers.
2. "This is no joke!"
   Oh, it's not? Well I guess I'll click it then.
3. "Our coincidence-generator has..."
   A coincidence generator? What is a coincidence generator? How on earth can you generate coincidence?

I do not doubt that whoever designed that advert is a complete retard. It's ridiculous. But having that kind of poorly designed 'lure-in'-adverts spread across the internet is not what worries me though. What worries me is that, apparently, it's worth the time and effort to put such a monstrosity on-line. The mere fact that they haven't disappeared over the last decade, but instead increased, is proof that apparently they are successful. That, ladies and gentlemen, means there are people out there who believe those adverts.
I know there are thousands of 'hackers' and millions of computer viruses out there. But the knowledge that THOSE kind of people are out there somewhere too, frightens me a lot more.

Enough about that. It's time to pick up where I left last time.
I said I was going to tell you how the motivation thing turned out. Well, it was crap. I got a chessboard from the attic and set up a game, each day I did something useful I made a move at the end of the day. After 3 moves, I started to forget and go to sleep without having made a move. So the board is still there, with 3 moves.
On the bright side, I have started doing useful things. I've spend a few days working on a project, which got sort of cancelled, I've helped my brother and sister with cutting the hedges in the backyard and I've repaired an electric outlet (which was my fault it was broken, actually. But my client insisted on paying me). While doing the latter, I managed to blow up my multimeter. A multimeter is a device capable of measuring multiple things. This specific device was capable of measuring AC voltage, DC voltage, AC current, DC current and electrical resistance. Apparently, it's a bad idea to have it set up to measure resistance and then hook it up on 230 Volts. I of course was aware of it being rather harmful, but I forgot to turn the knob. I won't be uploading pictures, neither have I bothered to open it up yet, but I'm pretty sure the battery inside exploded. You can find pictures of exploded batteries on google, can't you?

Although I do not blog on a scheduled time or date, I've noticed I post a blog every eight days. So if I would continue this tradition, you would find me blogging Saturday next week. But you won't. I won't. Because Saturday next week, I'll be on a local festival called "Rock Werchter". Instead, I'll try to post a blog on Wednesday. It's the day before the festival begins and it's the day I get my results from this year. So you'll find me dreaming about the festival that is about to come and either bragging about how well I did or whining about how bad I did.

I'm looking forward to it. Let's just pray the coincidence generator doesn't generate too much unpleasant coincidences.
