Spam attack

Currently, this site is under a trackback spam attack. None of the spam has made it to the site and I can delete it all in two clicks. However, I have that little feature enabled to email me when I get comments. So far, 1047 spam trackbacks in a few hours. WordPress is awesome in that none of these trackbacks made it to the site. However, the attack bogged the site down earlier this morning.

Also, I mass deleted a ton of email due to this silliness. If you sent me something important, I may have deleted it. So, send it again tomorrow.

By the way, I’m generally non-violent. But if I ever meet someone and I ask them what they do for a living and their response is I spam people, I will beat them to death. No court would convict me.

Update: just so you know how bad it is: in the time it took me to write that, the number went from 1047 to 1378.

Update 2: trackbacks currently disabled.

Update 3: trackbacks are, uhm, back.
