These web sites should be put in the dog house or sent back to obedience school
Oh dear, I have a spelling and grammatical error on the introduction of a web page. It is the end of civilization as we know it, and it exemplifies how horribly inadequate, shameful, and without merir the entire US educational system really is. I must humbly apologize to all my US fellow educators, as my […]
It’s been a while since the spam roaches attached the Trackbacks on the Maricopa Learning eXchange, but I guess they had some extra time after recess to splat their PPC (porn, pills, casino) links into the MLX Sharebacks. I am still resisting closing it down completely, but likely will, as no one really sends non-spam […]
A tale of two sequential spam emails, in sequential order. First was philosophical spam (one does not see too many of these): Both the material and spiritual worlds are full of opulence, beauty and knowledge, but the spiritual realm is more magnificent due to its being full of knowledge, bliss and eternity. The material creations […]
NBC’s “hit show” Medium is about a psychic who is helping solve cases in what is purported to be Phoenix, Arizona. I believe it is the “Phoenix, near Burbank”. It looks like they are not wasting any money on location shots, because I have yet to see a cactus, a desert rabbit, a creosote bush, […]
A week silently passed on my simple IT help desk request (read the sad story). There was now a consequence as the main page for our site was hijacked via the vulnerability I reported (see the blurb on this, we were definitely not alone). So since the requests were not answered, I resorted to the […]
I keep a pad of frequently called numbers near my office phone- there is a number next to a label called “Helpless desk”. In theory, this is how our helpdesk works. I go to a web site and fill submit a problem request form. It gets routed electronically to someone who addresses the issue. The […]
(Thanks to James Farmer for popping this article our way). The Register today unveils the life of the rich and infamous, “Interview with a link spammer”: Sam – let’s call our interviewee Sam, it’s suitably anonymous – lives in a three-bedroom semi-detached house in London, drives a vintage Jaguar and runs his own company. But […]
Rummaging quickly through my filtered email (some legit things keep falling through), I came across one of those ones with 2 cryptic links and then a whole raft of random words. I think the intent is to try and flood or fool email filters (but this is my un-educated guess, but see The War On […]
Sometime between 1:00 Am yesterday and 11:00 am today I think this server was down– I could not ping it nor access any content on it. I was rather worried, knowing that there are many people using Feed2JS for their sites, and the sites will just stay in an endless attempt at loading if the […]
Okay, so “nofollow” is “nomiracle”… but today I got confirmation from a site in Span that one or molecules of spam were stomped: Hello Mr. Levine Sorry for the long time without news about our “problem” but we’ve been very busy making changes in our network in order to fix it. During this week we’ve changed […]
