The Long Spammenting Nightmare Is Over

Not that you guys have seen, but there’s been a little war brewing here at Hit Coffee. Namely, ever since we changed servers, I have been inundated with spam trackbacks on old posts. I don’t know why, but my “No pings allowed” setting was being ignored on old posts.

The solution was to go into the SQL database and do an update query that closed pinging on the post-level instead of the blog-level. And another update query to delete all trackbacks except the ones to and from Hit Coffee posts.

I knew going to college would be handy at some point…

  3. If I may indulge in a little cynicism (and major props for hacking your own blog BTW), it probably made you more attractive to your eventual physician wife. Those ladies can’t stand the idea of marrying dumb guys, from what I’ve seen. It just eats away at their egos in some subtle fashion.

  4. Clancy is a big fan of puns :)

    My computer wizardry probably doesn’t hurt, as it gives me an avenue where I know a lot and she knows a little. She’s actually (too) humble about her own intelligence, and is bullish on mine. So I guess I have her conned real good (on the latter score).
