The Lighter Side of Code

In a my post about stopping spam I forgot to mention that Jacob Munson talked about using Akismet as a service to check your spam mail.  Well, I decided to try it out on this blog and it works really well.  Apparently there is a spammer using the RIPE Network Coordination Centre from IP address 193.53.87.81 in Amsterdam.  He/She really wants to hit my post on Google and Firefox seeing that their bot has tried to post spam 40 times.  As far as I can tell, this spammer has been active for a while.  At any rate, try Akismet if you haven’t already.
