Sat, 26 Feb 2005 Yet another SPAM Attack ...
A bit of browsing through the logs provided the answers. The specific "who" was some scumbag on a Verizon DSL connection. But the more interesting who turned out to be the folks at www.php-soft.com : note that it isn't linked, as I sure as Hel ain't gonna give them any publicity whatsoever. These particularly fetid piles of coding scum have assembled a database of weblogs - complete with ID bypasses for schemes like mine (commonly known as "monkey math"). They're based in Europe, apparently, and hosted there as well (again, apparently, as things get a bit murky in there). And MacRaven has the distinction of being included in their database. Oh, joy! For the time being I've stopped the attack by simply assigning a new ID number - look for this to start changing with far more frequency than it has in the past. But if this continues - well, I have no desire to get into an arms race, so writebacks may have to go the way of the dodo - which would be a damn shame.

Today is was over 2500 comments, pushing a variety of porno sites. They managed to get past my little blocker, and just went for it. The real questions are who and how.
