July looks like the worst month so far for spam. So far – with about a week to go:
Spam per month (all years together - in development: display only for current year)
Total in January: Ham: 924 Spam: 1666
Total in February: Ham: 1454 Spam: 1836
Total in March: Ham: 1843 Spam: 2474
Total in April: Ham: 1812 Spam: 2965
Total in May: Ham: 4549 Spam: 3269
Total in June: Ham: 2010 Spam: 5628
Total in July: Ham: 1559 Spam: 8595
That shows almost a 100% jump in spam in July. Admittedly – I did turn on bayesian filtering in May (lots of bad filtering as you can see) – but the number of spam is just climbing every month.
Spam filtering via SpamAssassin.

These eurodance meme is doing the rounds; it even made Digg today.
It’s a Swedish choon about annabot – a rather splendid irc bot..

I just updated two servers in the office to SLES 10 – officially launched today.
Things have improved since the internal alpha and beta releases – no problems so far – and very good hardware detection.
I’m writing a document on installing WordPress on SLES 10 – I’ll have that out soon.
[Edit – SLES 10 and WordPress 2.0.3 are running nicely together in my tests. I’ll update the Evil ZEN Scientist blog server tonight and see where that gets me.]
This blog is now running on SLES 10 – woo!
# tail /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586)
VERSION = 10

I’m in Boston for work – and I had a free hour or so – so I did a geocache.
I found the first geocache placed in the North East USA, way back in the summer of 2000. At the top of ‘Horn Pond Mountain’. There’s an interesting article here.
Nice jog – weather was terrible – rain, humidity and warm. And no view of Boston – just haze and fog.
