Operation spytech complete

Alright, I just finished setting up some statistics software for this site so that I can determine precisely how many people are reading these entries. At first I was both shocked and amazed because I was showing about five-hundred hits a day. That's a lot of hits. Then I noticed that most of those hits were for the file mt-comments.cgi - that's the file that is called whenever someone wants to leave a comment.

Guess which file spambots try and get when they want to leave valuable information for the rest of us about the twenty garzilliion different websites you can go to to see naked telletubies? That's right: mt-comments.cgi. So I've changed the name of that file and all references to it, and am just about to start blocking any incoming requests for it. You know, I hate to be a hardass, but when the player-hatah 'bots out there try to wreck my game, I gotsta get back on them, mackin' style.

I checked out some of the squash tournament yesterday, and saw some really good, really inspiring squash being played. I'll be posting another entry today about that, and about why it was inspiring - Right now I'm heading out to Langford for a bit with Bay, then to Bolen books to spend a gift certificate I got for Christmas. Not really sure what books I want to get yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about The Pragmatic Programmer, and looking at my business card, it turns out I do some programming. I've applied deductive reasoning here to determine that this book may, in fact, apply to me.

If it's worth the time, I'll be writing a review of the book after I've finished it. I'm sure everyone will be thrilled when I get around to doing that.

Posse out.
