This Modern World on Gonzales et al

This Modern World's usually pretty bleah but this one had me laughing out loud.

More sorry about the RT spam

One way or another I'll see the Volity RT spam problem fixed, ehn, sometime this week.

Not today, though. I refuse to take time away from money-making mode to deal with whichever band of eastern-bloc mafia has chosen to smear their shit all over our website. The thought of literally losing money to them really makes me so goddamn angry I can't function.

RT spam is gone

daerr fiddled around until he hit on the right command-line incantation to create new tickets via the command line. Sadly this involved patching RT's source code since it bogusly rejected tickets with any newlines in their descriptions. Er? whatev

So now if you email our RT system without a blessed subject line you get it thrown back in your face. The bug-reporting website used to file new tickets by sending email to that address, but now it does the command-line thing instead. Following up on bugs via email continues to work.

And I'm less angry and distracted now too which is also good.
