Scamming a scammer...
I was out of town for a few days. I was planning to find an internet café but the one I found had very stupid security (it blocked all cookies but didn't clear out the MRU list between sessions)
Anyway, I set a little daemon working for me as it seems that some people who read the blog are somehow linked to the spammers and whenever I announce that I'm going to be out of town for a day or two, the level of spam creeps up a notch or two.
It did this again but since I have the option to log the IP addresses of anyone reading specific posts, I also have a good chance of seeing where the spammers are coming from and blocking not just the IP address but the entire fucking netblock. The entire ISP, not just the computer in question.
Take that you spam-eating offspring of pigs and monkeys.
And just for a heads up little children, your comments, although accepted by this system were put into "purgatory" and held invisible to search engines until my review. I deleted them and made note of the URLs referenced.
Outside of that, the trip was wonderful!
Let the blogging resume (heh!)
