Spam attack!
Website May 15th, 2004 |I have no real idea if any of my readers (other than myself) subscribe to either my “full posts with comments” feed or my “comments only” RSS feeds, but if you do, my apologies for the spam dumps of the last few days. Apparently I’ve been targeted by someone (possibly in retaliation for using “pink” in a couple of posts, as Pops warned), and about once a day for the past three days, I’ll get a sudden burst of 20 to 40 spam comments posted.
I’m nuking them when I notice them, but it’s not always an immediate thing, so if you pull one of the affected RSS feeds between the attack and my cleanup, you get to see the unpleasant results. Not much I can do about it, unfortunately. Hopefully they’ll get bored and go away eventually.
(On a random side note, I just noticed that the title for my syndication feeds page is ‘fyndication feeds’. Oops! Guess I better fix that while I’m dinking around…)

Yay know of the color of s/pa/mmer and beware!
Suzette warned me about p/i/nk. Did you get hit by the f/irename/s.php guy?

Suzette is all wise and she’s probably out on her deck right now.
