spam[1]After the weekend’s festivities, we returned home on Sunday.  On Monday, after having settled in a bit and gotten the kids off to school, I sat down to post the pictures in yesterday’s entry.

We’ve gotten a lot of spam in the past, but it was ridiculous yesterday.  85 new messages had come in since I posted Friday.  Most were the usual “Anubis Gates” pharmaceutical shill, but there was another type of gibberish spew that had apparently walked through my blog, targeting a pretty decent subset of all the posts I have.

With Akismet, of course, it’s the work of a moment to delete them all, but this was by far the biggest wave I’ve been hit by.  Akismet has registered something less than 600 spams total, making the weekend’s attack 15% of all the spam I’ve ever gotten on this blog.
