Alas poor Firewall I knew him well, Horatio

I was so hoping to leave it open but there simply isn't any modicum of resistence to exploit attempts even in the presence of no chance in hell of them getting through.
Luckily when I took it down I didn't discard the rules set.
Of the intruders, stupid php programers are the worst of them all. Not only are they unskilled but they don't even exhibit good judgement.
Also, too many seem to think wordpress is the only web cms interface in use. Someone sees a URL with 'blog' in it and they automatically think it's a wordpress construct. Think again camel breath,
I like something in a more custom and less decipherable back end if you please. I also have an addiction to tooling various maintenance and trapping subroutines. There is nothing more gratifying than throwing up a nice impenetrable exception in some exploiter's face.
Not much going on in the coding world these days as far as I can see. Just a bunch of oopers and AI clients it appears to me. Drag and Drop addicts.
While I'm all for the IDE in production environments I think the likes of powerbuilder are not the way to go. Call me fickle. I must have been raised compiling at a command line interface and debugging in notepad.
My fellows don't appreciate the fact that you can insert custom filters all over the place when you have a penchant for coding. I'm reaching the point where the blog may become by invitation only. Exploit attempts remain infuriating even though unsuccessful. No respect.
The stupidity of the tech community continues to run rampant. Must be googleitis ignoramus or microsoftosis dotnet vulgaris. Don't you wish you had been educated instead of indoctrinated ?
