Since the spam increased that much up to 10k spam each week I searched for a solution. It came out that the combination of Akismet and Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin made it possible to have only 1 or 2 spam comments in the queue. I love it!
Well since the last years the spam comments in this blog have increased.
2009 114
2010 970
2011 3013
2012 4537
2013 12916 and this year is not over yet. US gouverment talked about they took down some large bot nets. I’m not sure they were that successful as they say. How many bot nets might be in public cloud like ämäzön or so? It is hard to guess, but the massive flood of spam comments and even larger flood of spam email has increased. Also the scum mail in Real Life (TM) has increased. D’oh!

If you an exception handler even that seems fail (in itself) with __toString() must not throw an exception. There is no nice safe way to handle it. The easiest solution is to catch that error as well. It might seems to be odd, but on the other hand the exception hanler shall not fail ;)
/**
* String representation of this object
* @return string
*/
public function __toString()
{
try {
return (string) $this->name;
} catch (Exception $exception) {
return '';
}
}
On Windows it seems not to be that easy figure out if some process is listening on port 80 or 443.
A simple command line command can show the pid of the process that is listening.
