• Fighting the spam

  Date: 2008.04.20 | Category: Series of tubes | Response: 1

  We all fight spam in one form or another be it snail mail, email, or comment spam. I’ve done a fairly good job at blocking out the email spam but and I can readily ignore the snail mail by throwing it in the trash. I haven’t had good luck blocking out the comment spam.

  Spammers will leave me random comments full of links to websites full of porn and prescription medication advertisements in an effort to increase their Google page rank. The spam filter catches 99% of them and leaves them for me to moderate. I have to dig through the comments in hope that there is something that isn’t spam – there seldom is.

  I noticed a new plug-in for my blog YAWASP (Yet Another WordPress Anti Spam Plug-in) that alters the comment field so that bots cannot easily access it and leave comments. Hopefully it works – only time will tell. It should be absolutely invisible to you but its going to help me out immensely. I’ll be able to see that I have no new comments from one day to the next. Oh well

  I have never been one to share – some things I share freely – others I hoard. For example, I will only loan a DVD to someone else if I know where they live because I’ve seen some of mine run away in the past. I’ll share food freely if you happen to drop by – I like to cook and I’m willing to use any random person that drops by as a guinea pig.

  I’ve never really shared any space on my website – until now. Jessica has added some of her own photos from her trip to Las Vegas in the gallery. I turned on comments because she digs the comment love – I haven’t been able to get them working yet – if they aren’t available know that I’m working on sorting out the bugs. She had fun – alcohol fueled fun – while in the city of sin.

  Wish I could have been there – oh well – less than a month left.

  XKCD started as random scribbles by the author that were scanned and saved for posterity. Somebody found them and they became a phenom. This comic, in particular, should serve as a guide on how to comment on the schlock that you will find posted on this website. Click the image for a link to the site and hours worth of comedy. Enjoy!
