Rants: Spammers took the blog out for a few days..
Tue, 07 Nov 2006

Alright, so not only in the past did various spammer-bastards wipe out the comment system and do other defacements, they now managed to hijack the blog to send out spam to innocent folks. These spammers really are total scum. I won't rant overly much about how illegal or sickly their villainous activities are as I'm sure you know already.. and it would just amuse them if they even read the many simple sites they destroy each day. But gorramn, if this sort of thing happens to my blog, my message board, my mailing lists, my inbox - every day - then it sure must happen to everyone. How many spammers are there? how automated are their attack tools? Certainly they're sophisticated enough to implant temporary webservers on peoples desktops and other trickery, but my little niche in the net is so insignificant and yet they hammer away all the time..

I should thank them of course; I could've used the time to play games or go out or something, so they saved me some money sitting around fiddling with security and auditing some CGIs and such; and they do help provide employment for so many ISPs and techies in the world. Oh yes, we all must thank them.. I've got my lepip ready for the day.
