Wierdo comment spam

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

The last few weeks has seen a deluge of comment spam, which mostly is the run of the mill bot based stuff advertising ‘cheap hosting’ , porn and other such sites.  a couple tht cought my attention were simple posts of urls with the following sort of format:

  • http://www.google.com/search?q=rxbcrobh
  • http://www.google.com/search?q=frhlrxca
  • http://www.google.com/search?q=omihinga

Searching on google with these links, surprisingly turns up nothing. I was expecting to find lists of malware infected sites similar to the SQL injection attacks seen in the last few months. Does anyone have any insight into these ? Sources appear to be geographically dispersed, and scattered across a variety of blog entries, old and new?

A web 2.0 we go…

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Having a quiet evening at home is a fairly rare occurrence, but tonight it happened. Consequently I got so spent some quality time exploring the wealth of plugins available for Wordpress.  After some picking and choosing Ive added a couple, and as the title sugegsts they are “web 2.0″ - for varing definitions of the term that is.

My big concern is how much does the addition of such content actually slow down the loading of a page ? Something I’ll need to keep an eye on. Now if only I could get Slimbox to behave itself as advertised.
