Double Tall Iced Mocha, Lite on the Chocolate

If you look at the left sidebar of my blog, you will notice a new feature. The random spam subject line.

Tonight I decided to whip out a little bash cgi script that would pick a message at random from my spam trap and display the subject line. So every time you look at my site, you get a different spam subject line to mull over. So go ahead, hit refresh, try for yourself.

You can look at my Inbox vs SpamTrap Graphs (just started graphing this week, so not much historical data) and see that there are currently over 12,000 pieces of spam to select subject lines from. Definitely enough to keep you entertained for hours.

I am not checking for null subjects so it might come up blank every now and again.

The source for the shell script is here.
