Spam is Way Down Here

Published by Robert Pogson March 6th, 2012 in technology. 4 Comments

Last week spam overtook my blog and my spam-killer was killing lots of regular commentators’ comments and burying the bodies in a pit with real spam. It’s not that the volume of spam increased but the quality of it increased. I added a requirement to do a simple copy-and-paste to post a comment and now the spam queue is almost empty making it easy for me to find the bodies and to resurrect them. It’s still a bit of work but much less than scanning pages of spam looking for good stuff.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
