This isn't the first time the Panscient crawler bot has been caught ignoring robots.txt. There's absolutely no reason for their bot to be hammering sites like this. None whatsoever. For now I'm going to let them be, but if ... http://www.nitrocandy.com/panscients-naughty-bot.html Well, they're at it again. QAI India and QAI Global are sending out random junk emails to people about their project management courses and training programs. And, as before, if you ask to be removed from their mailing list, they ignore you. This latest one is about "Better Program and ... http://www.nitrocandy.com/more-spam-from-qai-india.html Over the last couple of months I've been receiving a significant amount of spam from an organization called QAI Global.

They seem to offer business training services and courses and, coincidentally, they also offer business ... http://www.nitrocandy.com/spam-from-qai-india.html Sorry to be a complete boring swot but I've blocked some more IP addresses. These IP addresses, some of which are owned by ChinaNet, have been hammering this site and frankly I just wasn't going to take it any more.

Over the last few months, I've noticed a fairly odd pattern in my referrer listing. Every morning (my time), I seem to get a request that appears to originate from http://nitrocandy.com. Yesterday I decided to do something about it. I checked the extended ... http://www.nitrocandy.com/blocking-ip-addresses.html Well, this is the first time (that I'm aware of) that one of my posts has been lifted word for word.

They have a section at the end of their ... http://www.nitrocandy.com/indian-autos-blog-steal-content.html So I was flying home on Qantas the other day and it occurred to me that ages ago I began a series of posts (an EPIC series of posts) about runways from around the world. I thought that now might be a good time to continue this EPIC collection, this ... http://www.nitrocandy.com/amazing-runways-from-around-the-world-part-2.html OK, EA, I've had it with you. I've had it with your stupid install processes that don't work, I've had it with your online registration that doesn't work, I've had it with your buggy software and I've had it with your complete lack of reply to emails. Months ago, I bought ... http://www.nitrocandy.com/electronic-arts-why-you-gotta-treat-me-like-a-criminal.html How happy I was to receive this brand new Web 2.0 spam - with reflections, gradients, shadows, a ribbon, a sans serif font and everything!
