After i received notification, no, fifty-eight notifications, about comment spams that even Akismet (the smap filter of this blog) didn’t catch, i decided to raise the protective measures. So i installed Bad Behavio(u)r, a filter for PHP-driven sites that tiest to catch the bad guys based on their http behaviour. I installed it on another project site that i never seem to have the time to really kick off.

I considered a plugin called HashCash, a really nifty-sounding little thing that uses cryptography (an MD5 checksum) that automagically gets verified on both the server and the client side, using AJAX, but i decided against it since i don’t know how well PDAs, web tablets and other exotic paraphernalia handles such technology. But the idea is really nifty and i urge you to look into it if you’re at all interested in user-centred security.

Now it you can’t send comments to Navelfluff (and yer not a spammer), mail me on llauren @ this site, and i’ll see if i should lower the shields just a bit..
