Love these quotes from Clarice Lispector:
There is a great silence in me. And that silence has been the source of my words.
... what gets in the way of writing is having to use words.
Writing is so often remembering the thing that never existed.
(Via Mason Currey)
I finally decided to try checking against IP ranges rather than individual addresses in my 'login blocking' feature.
As a test, I am using a MySQL query to check against the first three octets in already blocked addresses:
SUBSTRING_INDEX(IP, '.', 3)If this works I might try reducing it to two octets as the majority of spam login attempts seem to come from similar ranges. I should then have to actively block significantly less addresses.
