Over the past day or so I’ve been getting multiple spam comments from a series of ip address and I am clueless as to how to stop them. Searching the blogosphere has made me realize that it seems to be a problem that targets wordpress blogs and there is no way to stop it right now other than banning the ip address from visiting your site.

The ip addresses are 94.102.60.150, 94.102.60.151, 94.102.60.152 and 94.102.60.153 and all the comments seem generated from a random name and email but are all producing a weird mixed set of numbers and letters. From traceroute abd Whois information I know the ip address originate in the Nethelands or the capital city of Amsterdam to be exact.

I’ve not blocked the ip address yet, I’ll see if more comments arrive over the course of the night.

Spore has been coming for a long time now and I posted about it’s release window back in May and eagerly anticipated it’s release. Now it’s here and I’ve played it for a day and it is crap for so many reasons not just the ridiculously restrictive digital rights management (DRM) software it comes packaged with. to put my feelings about Spore into one word I’d say that Spore is “underwhelming”, Will promised us so much but instead gave us so little but I can’t help but think that most of the blame lies with EA.

Spore is taking a beating from angry customers who are voicing their opinion on why the hate Spore so much (mostly because of the DRM). Amazon.com reported a “glitch” that only affected the negative reviews of Spore on their site that added even more controversy to the pot, was it truely a glitch or an attempt by one of the world’s largest online retailers to silence customers?
