The Thoughts and Feelings of a Melbourne Person
I read on PLOA that Michael Carden briefly tried to open his blog for comments, only to find:
The WordPress UI balked at deleting 194,000 (okay, I ignored it for a while) comment spams. I had to dig in as admin and run a fun sql query on the database to delete all 47 meg of [...]
Great news today, Rich Boakes has gotten his doctorate! He’s even got the photos of his viva on his thesis “Semantic Web based Log Analysis for Distributed Systems and Applications“..
14:56 : phd awarded.
Nice one mate!
Update: Rich now has his own blog about his viva voce up.
This is a type of information attack where the attacker is attempting to bury an unfavourable article in search results through posting a large number of other articles that contain the keywords that they wish to obfuscate.
My good friend Rich Boakes has blogged a powerful story about a man in Suffolk who is selling gallows to foreign states for a cool 12,000 GBP a pop - including such pillars of human rights as Zimbabwe.

A bit of patching, tweaking and general getting confused later it’s up and running in my widget sidebar - nice one folks!
Nice one Rich, looks like the latest version (0.7) of Autometa works - Technorati is happily picking up my extra tags at last!
Looks like Rich decided to blow the gaff early on his little global conspiracy that I joined in on some time ago (and finally came up with a plausible fake story for last night to see if we’d catch anyone down under).
I’ve got to admit that I recognised it as a tailing pool [...]
[April Fool! - Yes, I am part of the global conspiracy.. ]
Here’s an interesting coincidence, was talking to a person I know interstate who told me that a friend at Apple had let the cat out of the bag by mentioning that they were planning a big PR stunt for their 30th anniversary in [...]
Got an email from Rich Boakes today saying:
I can’t bear the white box around your masthead any more. See attached !
Well, the attached is now the new masthead - thanks Rich!
