Had very nice weekend in Århus. Spent yesterday in couch with [Lyons 1980]. Logged in this morning, to find well over 2000 illegitimate comments in this blog. What to do, what to do. Hours of boring clickety-click select comment, delete comment, select comment, delete comment ahead.
Or recognize that the spam has not been written and posted one by one by a human being. Recognize the similarities. Have a couple of fun hours coding Python and poking at the Movable Type database files, deciphering the custom database format and figuring out how to remove comments based on whether or not they contain the substring, say, sex or paris hilton. Fire up, boom. 90% gone. Examine remaining unwanted comments, pick new badwords. Rinse. Repeat. Happy. Feel the power.
