Blog update
I’ve been working on some of the backend coding to improve the performance of the blog. An area that has received special attention is the spam filtering code. One of the things that has been added is a more effective IP banning script. Previously, banned IPs could still view the blog, but any comments from those IPs would be tagged as spam. The new script completely denies all access; banned IPs cannot view the site at all. More specifically, banned IP ranges cannot view the site, as I don’t block just one IP – I ban entire subnets.
There will probably be a few more changes in the blog’s workings, so if things start to get screwy, it’s probably my fault. If something goes wrong, just wait a few minutes, and I’ll have it fixed quickly.
