I've added a few features today.
- There is now a 'recent comments' link under Contribute. It also has its own RSS feed, so I can watch for comments should the comment spammers get through.
- Articles now have URLs constructed from their titles. I feel I could do better at this. I need to read some papers on automated abbreviators.
- I fixed a nasty little problem where a sqlite3 "insert or replace" was whacking my password. Turns out that deletes the whole row on a replace, so you better be specifying all the field values.
And now 4 days later.
- I now log much of the POST methods into my database. There is a distributed botnet trying to leave a comment on one article in this blog. I'm curious what they wish to say. I'd hate to miss out on a first contact situation.
- Found a couple URLs that were missing their ".php". Apache was ok with this, lighttpd is not.

More robot chatter:
- fandango
- tatuazh
So if a tattooed robot offers to dance the fandango with you, you should know it only wants sex.

I have made contact with the robots. We should all be afraid. Thus far the robots have attempted to add these comments:
- SEX
- SEX
- SEX SEX SEX LOVE
- zubav1na-ps1h1chesk1e-bolezn1 except the digits 1 are supposed to be the letter 'i', I just didn't want to get indexed by it.
I suppose some filtering software will now block my site because it talks about sex.
