I finished up the new version of the anti-spam-bot program I’ve built over the years. Version 7 is available on my FormSpammerTrap site.

It is quite clever, if I say so myself. It blocks any attempt by spambots to automatically fill out contact forms on web sites. It is very effective, and free, although I ask for donations (haven’t gotten any yet).

The new version allows for easier customization of the form, and has new docs. I use it on the site, and others. Wherever I put it, the contact form spam just stops. Rather pleased with that.

Preps for a trip tomorrow. Might get some weather through the bottom of OR and top of CA. Snowstorm scheduled to go through there tonight into tomorrow morning, but I’m hoping that by the time I get there in the late afternoon it will have moved on and the roads are clear. But have 4SD and snow chains, just in case. Although I really don’t want to mess with the chains.
