Typo Trackback Spam

As some will have noticed, I am now aggregated by the ThoughtBlogs service… yay!

However, this (along with being linked to in other places) has meant that I’ve started receiving more spam TrackBacks than I can handle.

So, I started tapping away inside Typo’s administrative console to remove TrackBacks from every post, since none of them are valid.

Of course, this took far longer than was sensible so as a temporary fix, I removed them as follows (using Rails’ nifty `script/console`):

$ script/consoleLoading development environment.>> Trackback.find_all.length=> 89>> Trackback.find_all.each {|t| t.destroy}...>> Trackback.find_all.length=> 0

Ah, much better.

Guess I’ll just have to keep an eye on things and clean as I go.

I’m also checking out the latest trunk revision for Typo (that according to Scott Laird) is nearing it’s 4.0 release which I look forward to using, most importantly, because a nasty memory leak that has apparently been quashed.
