Spam and Exams
Today seemed like it would be like any other average Saturday. That is, until I got onto the computer at around 2PM and checked my Gmail. I didn’t notice it at first, but I soon browsed over my labels to see if I had anything new, and this is what I saw.
A tad concerned, I get onto the blog and see this under “Comments”:
It was at that point that I realized that I had been raided by spammers. I don’t know why, but they all seemed to be from the same source, because they all linked to the same place. Thankfully they were all just guests, so I had to approve of the comments (even thought I didn’t).
I took some screenshots of my Gmail inbox and merged them together to sort of show you what it looked like for me, but because the image is so huge, here’s a link: WEBSITE LABEL INBOX.
So yeah, I just felt like posting that.
This is the weekend before exams at my school. Monday and Tuesday is all about testing, and I’ve got this weekend to practice for it. I’m only a little nervous, seeing as how I’ve managed to keep a 95% or higher in all of my classes thus far, and I don’t want to lose that.
I lost a $5 bet to a friend (yesterday) because I thought I had a soccer game today, because that’s what the coach told me, but then my mom told me it was on Sunday, oh well. I’m not paying him back, simply because he still owes me $5 from a past bet he made and lost.
I also had to wake up at 9AM this morning to go try out for a soccer team this upcoming spring (I don’t know why they’re holding it 2 seasons early, but whatever). I made the team, everybody that showed up made the team, except for one kid, only because he was 18 and he was trying out for a U16 and U17 team.

What about askime-oh wait, that plugin hates you, I remember.
They spent over an hour raiding you.
They couldn’t find anything better to do for over an hour.
Apparently not, Benje. But I’ve gotten Askimet(sp?) working now and it’s already started catching quite a few spam comments.
