Now We See Why Uncle Warren Turned Off Commenting

A battalion of right bastards has spent the last few days hammering Needcoffee with all manner of comment spam. And I mean hammering. Hammering as in that's why you may have run into problems getting to the freaking site.

Dreamhost–because they rock and we like them–smacked the IPs of the perps so they can't get to us. However I fear that may be temporary. If comments disappear on Needcoffee for a while, you'll know why: did some research to try and find a plug-in that would ward off some of this bullshit but half of them don't work and the other half are worse than that. And Akismet only snags the spam after it's already used your server resources. So fun.

Widge and his truest friend

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
