Poker sucks
A sure sign your blog is getting more popular is that it starts getting spammed a lot.
Right at the start of '05 I started getting lots of trackback spam and comment spam. Actually it was getting pretty damn annoying. Fortunately I have these two awesome plugins called sCode and Blacklist. They've been working very well, I like them a lot.
For some reason, all the spam seems to include "poker" or a reference to it. Why I don't know, but it's always there. The real game of poker doesn't suck at all, obviously. It's the spam that sucks.
