Comment spam

Yay, I’m starting to get my first comment spam. At first I was like – damn, why is somebody posting a comment linking to www.google.ru, and just allowed it. Immediately afterwards, three spam comments for things like www.234537.ro. Posting source from psinet (they’re still around?) and somebody from .be.

Aha! I love the smell of spam burning in the morning. Smells like… victory.

I’m going to go with Akismet and HashCash, and that should take care of it.
