Spammers should have their mouse fingers cut off

It looks like e-mail harvesting software has finally gotten smart enough to parse entity encoded e-mail addresses on web pages. I've started getting my first spam to my e-mail address that I know was harvested from my web site.

I may have to make some changes... I may take my e-mail address off my site altogether, and to protect people who leave comments I'll have to do something about protecting their e-mail addresses.

A pox on all spammers

BlogChat

I wonder when Brent's going to get BlogChat.com going. BlogChat's a really really cool idea, I'd like it to get more popular. Not that it's unpopular now, it's just that it'd be cool to see more people using BlogChat on their sites. Yes, I will be one of them, or at least I plan to, as soon as I finish everything else I want to do

Don't forget

Via Dane Carlson, A Practical Guide For Improving Your Memory. One of the tips I didn't see was this: Simply tell yourself to remember something. That's why in parking garages they have signs that say Remember: You're parked on level 4. Similarly, it's also an effective rhetorical device to begin a sentence with "Listen:", or "Pay attention:".

Exegesis 4

Drool... via Slashdot, Damian Conway's Exegesis 4 is out on Perl.com: "In Apocalypse 4, Larry explains the fundamental changes to flow and block control in Perl 6. The changes bring fully integrated exceptions; a powerful new switch statement; a coherent mechanism for polymorphic matching; a greatly enhanced for loop; and unification of blocks, subroutines and closures. Let's dive right in."

Haha, I figured this would show up on LtU. Hi Ehud!.

As I'm reading the Exegesis, one of the most interesting things to me is that every single block is a closure. The body of every loop, everything.

Most hated bug in Mozilla quashed

Mozilla build comments for April 2nd: "The most hated bug in Bugzilla (by some measures), bug 55583 via bug 40867, has been fixed. This means that in today's builds view source and view frame source should load from the cache rather than refetching from the net. This should make a lot of web developers happier with Mozilla." Yes!
