Hmmm, I am slightly annoyed. I had this large post written out about the movie The Good Shepherd, then I just had to show the wife some new little thing I had written into rantfest and accidentally closed the window with the post. Oh well. So now, all you are gonna get is this. I really enjoyed the movie, I did however think it was rather slow. You really had to pay attention to the movie to keep from getting lost...which is fairly hard at times since it is almost 3 hours long, fairly slow paced, and the lead has the amount of dialogue you would expect to hear from an extra.
Now, the new feature I broke away my posting to show the wife is a slight posting, um, feature. I have recently been obsessed with people posting via scripting. This was what lead me to the captchas recently, we had a couple of posts that were obviously getting spammed via some script. Anyways, while working on that, I realized a vulnerability in the way I handle adding posts. All the posts are in numeric order, and unless there is a captcha on the post, all that changes between the posts is a number. Since the posts are all in order, it would have been easy to set up a script that iterated from 1 to some large number with whatever crap content you wanted posted on each post and walk away. Now, in addition to that single simple number there is a random number that accompanies it.
So, yes, this new little addition could also be scripted. I am aware, and I am also aware just how easy that would be. However, that in conjuction with my next step that I am working on (might have up before morning) should put a huge dent in the scriptable posting. Sadly, the new thing I am working on could be slightly obtrusive...I am going to enforce time between posts. It will be a fairly small time, but I will feel a little more secure about my effort to kill scriptable posting.
