Bots

How I hate bots. Especially stupid bots. And most of them seem to be. I have been visited by bots that seem to makeup their own URIs to visit. They're based on existing or deprectaed URIs, but clearly not right. And it's not like my site is dynamic.

Well I just got done battling 140.115.237.243, and damn if he wasn't annyoing. The damn thing sent some 6500 queries in about 2 hours. It seems this intrepid little explorer couldn't take no for an answer. It would request one cockeyed URI, which sort of looked like something that used to exist but was moved, and get mod_rewritten to my FTP server, where it would thrash about for awhile. He and a few friends that is.
