Odd blog day

I came in last night to find 24 emails in my inbox, the gist of which were "Your mysql article sucked, it was too short to be useful"... which confused me, as I hadn't written any mysql article. I started to respond, as some were just nonsensical, but then just figured I'd deal with it tomorrow as the rum was taking hold, and crashed.

DrunkenBlog gets a hair over 600 uniques/per day, about 1/3 of them rss fees being pulled down, so I was a lil surprised when yesterday it got 1700+ when I checked the logs. The referrals were all coming from macsurfer.com, which got even odder. Checking their site, it looks as though macsurfer linked to this article on my blog... and hence the confusion.

  • I have no clue how that article got linked. I don't care that it was, but I certainly didn't submit it and wouldn't have. I did send macsurfer an email asking if they had an rss/xml feed, which I mentioned in this post... it's the only contact I've had with them.
  • If you want to contact me, that's fine- but don't contact me regarding that article- or rather its lack of being an article. I write reviews & tutorials from time to time, like the ones on the 10.2 terminal (search for "terminal fun" in the search box above), but this wasn't one of them. It's not an article, its just a few paragraphs in my blog about a package I was checking out.
The other weirdness in the blog was that I got to spend 20 minutes this morning ripping out spam from the comments of older posts. All having to do with penis enlargement. So now I'm gonna have to research ways of not getting your comments spammed if it happens again. Weird.
