I have several web sites that sometimes get attacked by form spammers. You know, those automated form submissions that have a bunch of links in them, usually to undesirable sites.

So a good technique to frustrate (and block) them is always a good thing. And I found one, which I wrote up in my “Security Dawg” site. It takes a bit of PHP programming skill (mostly typing), but it seems to be working well on those sites that have gotten it.

You’ll find the details here: Defeating Form Spammers. Try it out (make backups, first).

In other news. Hot. Not Mohave Desert hot, and not as hot as Rocklin (CA), and not humid. But hot for here (in the 90’s). (Those of you in hotter or humid-er climates can complain all you want in your own blogs.)

But I have AC at the office, at home, and in the car. And the car (although black in color) is in a shaded parking garage at work, and the garage at home.

So my plan is to avoid the outside. So far, so good.
