Spam Poison

Paul Westbrook | 07 November, 2004 11:31

I found this website yesterday that is supposed to help combat spam. Spam Poison is a web site that you link to from your web pages, it has links to pages that have a bunch of fake email addresses. This is supposed to fight spammer is two ways.

  1. Spam web crawlers will waste time on these web pages
  2. All of these fake email address will waste the resources of the spammers
I am not sure about how effective this web site will be. I would assume that the spammers will just not crawl hosts in the spampoison.com domain.

DSM-320 MediaLounge

Dlink DSB-302Dlink has a network media player. The MedialLounge will play music, photos and videos on your TV/entertainment center. It has a pretty good list of media types that it supports (Audio: MP3, WMA, WAV; Image: JPEG, JPEG200, TIFF, GIF, BMP, PNG; Video: MPEG1/2/4, AVI, XviD)

I realy like the form factor, but I don't like the fact that they only have Windows software. Maybe they will release the protocol, and some one will come out with a open source server software.
