…spam spam spam spammity spam.
Not bloody likely.
Read on my WordPress dashboard feed fro Askimet that Jesper Rønn-Jensen has announced he’s having a Spam Filter Free Day on December 15th - one of the few days not taken up with an “event”.
So all the plugins and methods they use to filter out the spam from ham will be switched off, according to their stats they’ve racked up over half a million through Askimet alone which is pretty good going.
Now I’m no where near reaching that, can’t remember what the Askimet count was on here before I changed everything but the last comment is number 13,963 and there certainly isn’t that many comments on here - you lazy buggers.
So no I won’t be joining them and any others that are going for it, Askimet, the comment form maths question, Bad Behaviour and the .htaccess file - the latter two stop a hell of a lot of stuff getting close to posting spam, especially one Russian scumbag who was hitting this place every few seconds - will be staying put now, on the 15th and thereafter.
Bloody vikings…
…Fools, I live with fools.
Now I like my sleep, as those that know me will attest, I can and have slept through things that would waken most. Earthquakes, car accidents, gun fire.
So it shows how loud and annoying that damn alarm was that woke me in the small hours this morning, don’t know if it was a car or house alarm but I’d bet it wasn’t set off by a car thief or house burglar. The alarm is the modern day boy that cried wolf - does anyone pay attention to them anymore?
I know the one over the road never goes off because of anything untoward only because of things they have hanging up and windows left open which cause the things hung up to move, last time it was painting taped to a wall, before that some stupid spinning mobile.
And when told that’s what’s causing the alarm to go off you are met with a blank stare and “It doesn’t happen when we’re around” - at this point too gob smacked at the fool to point out when they are about they don’t set the damn thing in the first place and even if I did it would make no difference.
Blue, it makes me blue. Makes me blue
Fools, (Oh!) I live with fools. Live with fools
