Spam! Spam! Spam!
Has anyone come out with a cute abbreviated title for blog spam? I was going back over some of my old entries today and realized that one of them had 3 comments that were clearly computer generated, mostly on the topic of acid reflux. I suppose it was only a matter of time, but I find it more than a bit annoying. I think back when they were originally posted and I just figured someone was very dedicated to eradicating acid reflux, but it only took me several months to crack that code!
The ironic part of all this is that, since I typed the phrase "acid reflux" in this entry, I might just receive even more spam! Oh what a tangled web we weave. I suppose I could put in phrases like "free family dwelling" or "enlightenment" and perhaps I'd get professional advice on how to make them mine for only $19.99 + $2 million shipping. But, I'll probably be ok as long as I don't mention Viagra. Aw crap, I just did! ;) So, until they come up with a cute name for all the news outlets to start using, I guess I'll have to come up with my own: Splogm? Blospam? Spamlogging? Let me know if anyone has a favorite, but any phrase with the word "log" in it gets my vote.
The only news for the day is that our friend Jen came down for a conference and will be hanging out with us and the boy for a few evenings. While his initial reaction to Jen was a bit tear filled, he warmed up to her quickly and was again his usual smiley self. In the coming entries I'll try to fill in some of the gaps left from months 2 through 9 of his young life and why I didn't write entries after he went to bed. Actually, that last part may be self explanatory, since I'd probably have started falling asleep while I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

hmmm...your looking for a phrase with the word 'log'...
dare I go there?
Penis?
Seriously, though... that blog spam is generated by spiders who comb the net looking for buttons labeled "Submit" "Publish" "Preview" and so on. So unless you ban comments completely, you're open to attack.
Happens a lot in the wiki world too. :)
Back to your regularly scheduled penis.
Penis? The idea is to pick a name that suggests a dirty word, not to use the dirty word itself. Duh! And, UNseriously, it was a joke dude! Telling us the real reason it happens is like being that annoying person at the back of the comedy club who tries to explain the joke to his friends, making it no longer funny! :)
I just like the title of this post. Reminds me of a certain Monty Python skit.
Still, blog spam is a new low. I really wouldn't mind kicking the fellow(s) who do this square in the arse someday.
The only other title I considered was "Nobody Expects the Spamish Inquisition," but this one seemed to make more sense. ;) And let me know if you find the fellow(s) so I can hold 'em down whilst you kick.
Ugh, you should'a used that for that. Spamish Inquisition indeed. :D
LOL :)
