Intermittent blogging and constant spam
It’s a month since I wrote about getting back to blogging and then stopped again. Perhaps I will again pick up the daily habit and delve into the many emails and links and other newsy items I’ve thought of commenting on or linking to. We’ll see.
In the meantime, a few days ago I updated the blog software I use, which lets me use a better automatic spam killer. As I write this, the bottom of my main blog page shows the spam filter stopped more than 1200 comment and trackback spams. That’s about 300 day. Assuming this is common for blogs, the number is pretty astonishing. Whether this will inundate the Internet completely is a technical question I have no expertise about, but it does make me nostalgic about the good-old pre-commercialization Internet.
I’m still in them middle of other projects, but hope to catch up on things here soon.

i agree….the spamming is getting ridiculous. what’s sad is that no matter how many laws are passed to stop it, it won’t stop. oh, well, back to dreaming about the good old days when the interent first started…….
