Block Those Spambots!

Mark Pilgrim (of Dive Into Mark fame) has a great article up on blocking spambots, spybots, and other bandwidth hogs from your site. I don’t really have a problem on this site, but it’s definitely something I’m going to investigate for use on another site I help run. Bandwidth and server hits cost us money, folks!

Quick Notes

FreakAngels: A free, online comic by the master: Warren Ellis. I've been a huge fan of Ellis for years and this new comic looks pretty darn good. (1 comment); Feb 17, 08 at 07:31 pm
Warcrafter: Searching around for something to allow me to "try out" gear, I found Warcrafter, which is pretty neat. It's still "beta", but lots of nice features. And, of course, there's Ghrikk. (0 comments); Jan 19, 08 at 07:38 am
Neighborhood Walkability: Neat site that utilizes Google information and maps to get a quick look at how "walkable" your neighborhood is. I'd love to live somewhere that I could walk to lots of stores and such rather than having to drive. (0 comments); Dec 15, 07 at 01:27 am
Free With Mats: Nice, upcoming WoW site that lets you find gems/enchants as well as has user-submitted information on tradeskill crafting. Once more profiles are added, it should be a nice way to find people to craft items, do enchants, etc. (0 comments); Dec 5, 07 at 11:40 am
Cleaning out OS X Languages: I used "Monolingual" myself a while back, but here's some good info on possible options. Be sure to read the comments, too. (0 comments); Nov 8, 07 at 08:37 am
Are Compact Fluorescents Worth it?: Someone does some quick math showing just how much you can save in even a single month by switching your lights from regular incandescents to CFLs. (0 comments); Oct 30, 07 at 07:29 am
Next Midrange Graphics Card: If the AnandTech review is accurate (and I've always liked their reviews), the forthcoming NVIDIA 8800 GT card may be a fantastic compromise between great performance and moderate price. (0 comments); Oct 29, 07 at 07:36 am
Toyota WoW?: So, apparently, this is a real Toyota commercial that was aired this week during a college football game. Don't know about you, but I was cracking up! (1 comment); Oct 7, 07 at 04:54 am
