Wow just read this over on the Guardian’s website its from yesterday
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/feb/12/piracy.politics
Interesting to see if it goes ahead
Internet users who illegally download music and films could lose their access to the web under legislation aimed at cracking down on those who flout piracy laws. Powers being drafted by the government will compel internet service providers to take action against customers who access pirated material.

Mission Impossible - Where are my emails …

It has come to my attention that I’m not receiving one or two emails in the last few days … where they are going to I’ve no idea. Its rather worrying though as its work related not to mention more importantly blog related 
Two of my hosting companies don’t seem to play well when sending mails to each other and I’m lost as to where the mails are disappearing to. On the plus side now that I know its happening I can start to figure out where its going wrong. In the mean time I’ve changed my notification address on here so hopefully it won’t affect me that much.
[On the negative side junk filters aren’t showing up anything unusual and are catching the usual amount of junk email]

Well at least it got your attention … but no its not what you’re thinking …
I’m currently working on a transport website and have no idea what the Font they are using in their logo is …
To the rescue comes http://www.identifont.com/ … but unfortunately this time it didn’t come close. .. you enter a number of characters and it asks you questions based on that …
Its been a life saver for me in the past however move over identifont there’s a new tool in town …

At the moment I’m getting a serious amount of spam on my comments forms from 209.47.94.52 now this is listed as being a VerizonBusiness address … I’ve done a quick check online and yep .. looks like a lot of people have been complaining about this and still they’ve done nothing about it.
Personally I don’t have much experience with dealing with spam apart from adding captcha’s and tightening up security … I don’t really want to add a captcha to my comments forms so it looks like for the moment I’ll be adding a deny from to my .htaccess file … no idea but oh well
Deny from 209.47.94.52
