Grrrrrrrr.... spam Posted by Alan D Moore on 2010-04-05 04:21:12

Well, just bee-bopping around tonight on my website I discovered that some of my less-travailed pages were defaced with spam links to unseemly locations. Perhaps the saving grace here is that almost nobody visits the affected pages, so let's hope the spammers didn't get any hits here.

I've grepped through the site contents looking for links, so I feel confident I've removed it all now, but anyone my apologies to anyone who stumbled upon anything offensive here (at least, anything offensive put here by someone else).

I'm on the verge of removing that old shoutbox code too, since it seems inherently susceptible to spam no matter what I filter.

Alan,

More Spam?

I discovered your amazing work "From Windows to MEPIS". It is, under my point of view, one of the best works to guide former Windoze users (geeks and not geeks) from the dark side to Mepis. So, I decided to translate it to Catalan and made it available at MepisCommunity and MepisLovers, for use of our young (but growing) Catalan community.

Of course, first of all I'll send you the file, hope that there are not problems because it is not modified (excluding the updating to SM 8.0/8.5) and the screenshots are of a Catalan install.

Hope you agree, and please, send me your email by PM so I can send it easily.

Best wishes,

Eduard Selma.
