Worse than Spam

The crap-flooding got so bad today that in the end I was forced to reboot the machine so that I could regain control of it and install my new filter. That at least seems to have been successful.

I have installed a new plugin, Close Comments, as recommended by Paul. It's pretty easy to use, for example, if you include

<MTCloseComments old="21">
at the top of your main index template, it will automatically close any comments over 21 days old every time you rebuild.

This is only for MT 2.6 users; for people on MT 3, MT Blacklist performs a similar function automatically.

Grrrr!

Due to the unceasing and indeed accelerating crapflooding, I've disabled comments just for the moment. Within the next couple of hours, they'll be back with a new hand-coded crap filter.

Right now, though, I'm late for work.

Update: Done! We'll see how it goes.

Mail client set-up

Excuse me if this is an ignorant question and it's been put out already, but how would a Munuvian go about setting up Outlook or Thunderbird for munu-e-mail access (i.e. incoming mail server, user name, yada yada)?

Webmail just reminds me so much of the days when I thought Hotmail address were cool.

Help The Jawa Get Back on Google News!!

Ok, here is the situation. I was included as a source for Google News for exactly 12 hours almost two months ago. For some odd reason, all of Munuviana was added along with me. Since that time I've been trying to find why my site was dropped.

I'm on vacation, but was able to check my e-mail for the first time in a week and got this from Google News:

Hi Rusty,

Thank you for following up with us. After some investigation, we've found that our system cannot crawl some of your articles because your site's article headlines don't hyperlink to a page dedicated solely to that article. In order for our crawler to correctly gather articles, each article headline needs hyperlink to the article page.

Any way to fix this so that each of my post headings are also hyperlinked to the permalink??

Like I said, I'm on vacation in LA for the next week or so but might find some time to fix this. If you can e-mail me at mypetjawa@gmail.com if you know how I'd appreciate it.

Crapflood!

I'm being bombarded by a crapflooder. Any way to just turn off all commenting on posts over a couple weeks old? Some script or something?

This shit is really putting me off my oats.

Nitwits with new computers for Christmas

Am I the only one who got mega-spammed comments this morning?

It sounds like someone got a new computer for Christmas and figured they'd act a complete damn fool with it.

The Holiday Letter Project (Show your support for our troops)

At the request and suggestion of other Munuvians I have transplanted this post from my own site:

LetterHeader.jpg

Many of you may remember my Letters To The Troops campaign.

I had the opportunity to ensure that the letters I received were personally hand carried to the troops in Iraq.

In the end more than 30 bloggers participated and more than 320 letters were received.

I know we can do better.

The opportunity has presented itself once again and I am all over it! A close personal friend of mine is on his way to Iraq. He is a frequent reader of my site so this effort will not be a surprise like it was during the first campaign. He saw what we accomplished before and has challenged me to do it again. He is eager to be able to deliver hundreds of letters of support to the troops on the ground!

He is willing to hand carry any letters that I can generate and print to Tallil, Iraq and he will make every effort to forward them on from there.

So here is what we need to do. Bloggers, I urge each and every one of you to write your own letter to the troops overseas. Make it a general open letter to any Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine. Keep in mind that the people reading this letters will be both male and female of all ages, ethnic origins and religions. Once your letter is posted, please trackback to this post so that I may find and print your letter. Please direct your readers to this effort as well. Non-bloggers, please leave your open letter of support in the comment section of this post on my site. While it is possible for you to email me your letters, I'd like to see them in the comments so that troops overseas can access and read them online.

Our deadline for this endeavor will be the 17th of December. That will give me the time necessary to print all of the letters and have them ready to go. I will also be printing a sheet with the URL's of all bloggers who participate.

Please forward the link to this post to as many people as you can, both Bloggers and non-bloggers.

Once again, please make your way to the full post at my site to leave your comments, links or TrackBacks.
Let's make this huge.

My poor Sis in trouble

My sister, goes to Penn State University, got really railroaded by an academic review board. Here's the full story

What do you think she can do. It seems from past history the university protects it's chosen favorites, often at the expense of students.

Importing Entries

Does anyone have experience in importing entries into Moveable Type? I've managed to export our old Typepad entries (all four hundred or so), and though I've followed the MT manual instructions listed here, I guess I'm not uploading them into the right directory or something. It says to upload them into the same directory that MT was installed in, and I do suppose I'm clueless. Anyone else done this before?

Dropping the other shoe

Hey, Pixy;

Here's the other half of Jay Allen's recent efforts on the comment spam front.

Life During Wartime

I have made some editorial adjustments to this post after Jay Allen - the author of MT Blacklist - showed up in the comments and corrected me on some points. Thanks Jay.

I mentioned in a comment to Helen's post about MT Blacklist that I couldn't see just what Blacklist was up to because I could no longer view the Activity Log. And the reason for that is that there were over 500,000 entries in the log, which is kept in a SQL table.*

So I dumped the table and cleared it out and restarted everything and found that it looked something like this:

Badness. The apparent gaps in that trail of tears do not represent a pause in the incoming spam but rather my attempts to reconfigure the comments script to block it entirely. This is necessary because even when MT Blacklist blocks a comment, it still uses a lot of resources on the server, and when you're getting flooded with crap, the server basically grinds to a halt. Each comment requires an Apache process, a Perl process and a MySQL database process, and the system was processing 30-40 comments at the same time.

[Jay Allen, the author of MT Blacklist, has questioned me on this in the comments. I should explain that the problem the server suffered today was not a question of CPU utilisation but of memory - with 30 comments being handled at the same time, the system did not have enough memory to cope, and was constantly swapping tasks to and from disk, a condition known as "thrashing". This is a bad thing.]

For those who speak Linux, the load average was up around 70 during all of this. Which made it less than perfectly responsive when I was logged in and trying to fix it.

The point where the spam stops dead is where I got smart and simply added a .htaccess file that completely blocks access to the CGI directory for that particular spammer.

Meanwhile, Movable Type have provided a fix this problem - with the release of MT 3.14. Which means I really need to get moving on the migration.

* This is a pretty silly place to keep a log file, but what the heck.

Who's Been Tarting Around With Blacklist Again?

I just tried to comment on a mu.nu post and got this:

Your comment could not be submitted due to questionable content: se.com

Right. Cause se.com is really dangerous. I was trying to write "Close comments" but it wouldn't accept it.

Can somone remove this from the blacklist?

I hate blacklist.

The Comment Spam Battle

I found this article from a link on Instapundit. The article is here at Netcraft but I'm going to quote the whole thing in the extended entry since it applies to us.

There may be hope

Speed

Want something that can both speed up your page load time and cut down on bandwidth, thus preventing another potential meltdown? Then I'm here to help. Well, not me. But try this...and once you've rebuilt you can test it here.

In geek talk:

Anyone with a recent version of PHP (4.1+) running on their server can easily take advantage of this. Benefits are greatly reduced bandwidth consumption and a much speedier site, especially for readers using modems.

Simply place the following snippet at the very first line of PHP-aware web pages, before :

<?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>

And that鈥檚 it.

It does have to be the very first line; but it works - I've just done it on mine and it validated.

Templatage

Is it permissible for me to go over to my old Clogspot Blog and steal my old template? Is it proprietary? How do I break it down into nice little CSS-size chunks and whatnot.

Thoughts??

Impressions??

Bacon??

An infinite number of protomonkeys on a single blog will eventually entertain the entire blogosphere

Protomonkey is reborn!

Protomonkey was my attempt to goad myself into writing more and better. Being the stubborn SOB that I am, I was unable to do so and the site languished. It has now risen like the monkey from the flames, changed into a new and stronger site.

What, you might ask me, is this wonderful new concept? Well, I say to you, it is now a group blog. It will be a collective home for any creative writing. Short stories, anecdotes, essays, you name it, it's welcome. For a more complete (and dare I say humorous) introduction see the FAQ.

Joining is simple. Just comment in the FAQ thread or send me an email and mention that you'd like to be a contributor. If you don't have my email address you can get it from the sidebar here or just contact your friendly neighborhood spammer. Apparently they've all got it.

So what are you waiting for? Get over there and look around. My short stories are posted over there and there's already a second protomonkey churning out goods for you.

Someone save me from my stupidity.

Mmkay, our good friends at pMachine didn't bother to work an import/export feature into their software (under premise that "your host should have phpMyAdmin installed on it.").

Fortunately, mine does and it appears that's going to be the only way I can export the rest of my old entries, meme-garbage some of them may be.

Can some savvy person tell me in what form ("SQL", "LaTex", "CSV for Ms Excel data", "CSV data", or "XML") I should export it?........and then what do do with it after that?

Please and thank you?

Alternate views

I would like to add an alternate view of my monthly archives which will display all comments. Creating the template is not a problem, but:

1. How do I tell MT that it is a monthly archive?

2. How do name the files (e.g. .../archives/include_comments_2004_12.php)?

3. Is there any way that I can do this without adding additional maintenance (e.g. by checking a query parameter, so I can use the same templace for both)?
