Hitting the A-List

My friendly neighborhood sysadmin tells me that Datacloud is generating 55,000 hits per day. Of course, my guess is that 99% of that traffic is due to spam bots looking for holes in my filter, but, still, I had this brief flash where Datacloud was the new Boing-Boing. In actuality, Datacloud is probably more like the new Nancy Kerrigan.

Time to start tweaking my comment blacklist for better control over spam, I guess. This means it's possible I'll have to take comments completely offline at some point, at least temporarily--but the comment activity has been pretty low, outside of spam, so that shouldn't be a huge issue.
