In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

The Bot Swarm is Over

For that last week, the bots were swarming. At least half the visits were the little bastards; maybe more.

So far this week, they seemed to have wandered off to another section of the internet. If I could ever figure out to catch them, I'd never need to work again....except to build pens.

Busy, Busy Bots

The bots were busy today. How do I know? A huge amounts of visits to a post from two years ago.

Some I know are from commercial sites, but have the feeling some are up to bad things.

A Lot Of Bots

Bot visits seem to be in cycles. A long time passes, and only a few try to scale the walls, and then a crowd appears.

I've wondered why, then realized some programmer will come up with a new way to circumvent filters, sell the code and make a few bucks. After that, the bots find a way in for awhile.

Watching and Waiting

Over the last few days, I've had double the view of what I considered a good day. After perusing the outer perimeter, I realized it's due to bots.

In the past, bots would occasionally happen by, test the defenses and go on their way. I'd have days of peace.

Now, I realize they're amassing in a large group; waiting and hoping to find a weakness in the walls.

I hope I'm ready for their onslaught. The moat is full, the oils is heating and the arrow maker notified me he has reached maximum storage capacity.

I wait....the night will be long.

Bot Swarm

I had a bot swarm this morning. Damned if they didn't swarm and were gone before I could catch a few.

It looks like I'LL have to cut the yard.

BSOD

If you've ever tinkered with a computer that has one of those before Windows ever loads....and it tells you of a corrupted registry.....you know you're having a bad day at work.

I found the fix, but it's just another task that I really don't have time to do.

Pink Cornflakes with Toasted Edges

That's one hell of a title, right? It makes no sense, but bots love that kind of crap. I'm setting a trap, so I can catch a few. My mother's lawn needs cutting and I don't feel like it.
