I recieved an email from new reader Emily asking about Alaksandr,
the Russian sendmail spambot that was plaguing me for months.
It seems that Emily is having to deal with Alaksandr and asked me for some help,
having read my posts detailing the problem.
There wasn't much I could say.
“Aleksandr” only went away once I removed the email accounts he was spamming,
and a check of my logs showed it's no longer showing up here.
But it appears to still be an issue for others.
Emily and I still have no idea why someone would spend the time and effort to send such spams.
I wish I had answers.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
