More Vulnerability Attack Scans
For the past several hours I’ve been attacked (41,322 times and counting!) by many different IP addresses (95 at last count, including a bunch using Amazon Web Services (amazonaws)) looking for many different URLs.

Junk Mail Update for May 2011
I’m on my anti-junk mail kick again. I really don’t get that much junk mail, because I clamp down on the mail that we do get. These are the egregious junk mailers I’ve tried to deal with today. I went to their web sites to contact them. Hopefully they will respond to my request that […]
