t e c h i e - t a l k s ::: technology at its best

I haven’t been blogging much this week. I was busy fixing things around the house (fixing the water pressure, “hacking the old satellite network, etc) and hadn’t had time to find stuffs to blog. So it has been six days since my last post.

Gosh was I shock when I saw my awaiting moderation comments just now. I had 112 un-moderated comments! And out of the 112 comments, 104 of them are shit loads of SPAM.

Actually, it was quite a hassle determining whether a comment is a spam or not (no wonder it fooled the spam filters!). These SPAM-bots are getting smarter these days. For example, there were a few which had perfect English sentences which made sense. However, due to its common IP address and the “dubious website” left behind by the writer, I flagged it as a SPAM. I think I need a smarter SPAM filter.

Or maybe I should just employ the help of some human confirmation thingy that most sites have already done. Oh well, I’ll get it done when everything is settled here at home.
