Mr. Cutaway felt honored me with a request for an email interview yesterday (you can read it here). And though it took a bit of time to answer it, I really appreciate it because it allowed me to really focus on a subject (it was about centralized logging), and I really got into it.
But it goes farther than just the interview. I have a Google alert setup that tells me when my name is being used out on the Internet (I may be narcissistic, but I also want to know when I am being mentioned out there for personal security reasons). So I get an alert, and I figure it is from the interview getting posted (since I haven’t been writing anything earth shattering enough lately for anyone to mention me
). When I open the alert, I see two mentions of my name. One from the interview, and one that seems to be referencing the interview. So I am thinking, “Someone is linking to the interview because they love me (they really love me!) and want other to know how much they should love me, too. it is only logical, right? RIGHT??!!
Alas, I was wrong. It was nothing but a splog, and a porn splog at that. How annoying! And now when someone searches for my name (probably just me), they might get a porn splog. Great…
