Looks like I’m even later than Wez in discovering this (8 years, but who’s counting ?) but it’s well worth remembering.
For when you are about to take over the world with your eveil scheme, of course.

What a very good idea ! If you have any political motivation at all regarding EU Software Patents, then it would be a very nice gesture to link to, or sign the above petition. I’m glad that at least some countries in the EU have enough of a spine to stand up when it counts.

What an interesting idea – guess what I’ll be trying out tonight !
(Lee asked if this was setting the ‘Black Balance’ of an image – not a phrase I’d heard before, but I like it a lot !)

Very handy – I tarpitted a silly one yesterday after their first attempt and watched another 9 failed submissions timeout, but today’s one was coming from a botnet (no fixed IP) and going directly to the posting file for articles that didn’t exist. As it was starting from post number 1 I got tired by the time the fifth item came in, and so used the very simple block shown at the head of the above page to stop them.
Now we’ll see how clever they really are: if I get new submissions with a correctly spoofed referrer then they’re reading my blog too ! What fame !
