Erik's Rant
 

November 29, 2006

I don't get it.

I just got an email from a longtime reader that he has not been able to post comments for the past few days. However, some people have been able to, and the spam still flows in at about 400-500 per day.

I am going to re-enable commenting, so if you have been blocked, this should fix that.

And if any of you know any clever ways to attack websites, please let me know. The spammers are at the point where if they were people in front of me, I would be smashing in noses about now.

No, scratch that. I was at that point two months ago. I am probably more at the lead pipe to the side of the head level.

I was thinking of making an application fee for advertising on the blog, and then billing the spammers. However, my guess is that most of these freaks are in Russia, so I would never really collect.

So that leaves guerilla war. I remember when I would hear about these "denial of service" attacks. How is that done? I would like to try it on the next spammer to send me 100 posts in one day.
