This work week has been one of the slowest moving ever. I have not been this bored at work in a very long time. With no plans for the weekend, I expect the same sullen mood to reign over the weekend as well. As a result I may blog a lot.
Oh, I added word verification for comments to my blog. If you don't know about this, it is a simple mechanism to ensure a human is entering data into a web form, rather than a web bot. Pretty common in sign-up processes on many websites now-a-days. Yesterday within a few minutes of posting my new blog entry there were 8 comments to it. Just when I was wondering how my blog became so famous so fast, I saw that all of them were unsolicited junk from automated bots. one was screaming that I had won a Gateway laptop, some wanted to give me millions of dollars for no good reason whatsoever, and one desperately wanted to sell me cheap viagra :) It was a reminder about the importance of network security, spam assassin software, etc. It is a bloody deadly world out there on the web.
