How to spot of Fake DeveloperJun 26, 2008 by Paul WhiteIf you are in the market for a website, you will most likely approach several developers looking for quotes. This is fine, but most clients don't know enough to see a fraud, or see a value. They rush to the lowest bidder and then wonder why things don't turn out the way they wanted. Here are several things to look for when building a new website.

HTTP black lists stop comment spammersJun 04, 2008 by Paul WhiteI got sick of seeing failed viewstate in my event logs. so I wrote some code that checks visitors against a HTTP blacklist. I found that one of my blacklists was full of false positives. Not that the given IP wasn't abusive at one point in time but I found it was full of proxies of which are frequently used by legitimate users. After comparing some user logs I found that I was blocking a few of my member. The HTTP blacklist from Project Honey Pot works, but had the problem with proxies as I stated above. However one that I have had much better luck with is the one by stopforumspam.com.
If you are looking to stop comment spammers from seeing your site, I highly recommend them. Read on for a code snippet that shows how I implimented this block

Even though the crowd was mostly women, there were also quite a few couples too. The movie in all was pretty good. Not what I would consider a guys night out type of flick. But definately a good date movie. Read on for my full review
