The Wang Room

Today I'm going to go to a talk in the Wang Room. Of course, the amusing thing is that since it's in Cory Hall, home of the EE department, the name is appropriate: there probably aren't many women who go in there on a regular basis.

Re: Hello

Welcome. Introducing yourself will work better if you post as a logged-in user rather than as an anonymous user--right now I have no idea who you are.

Re: Hello

I htink this is spam. If you google for it there's loads of these all over various kinds of forum etc (eg in my livejournal).

Re: Hello

But what could they possibly gain from posting such useless spam?

Re: Hello

It's kind of weird. I've been getting it a lot, particularly on a boring entry from years ago on carrots. They seem to post lots of one-liners like "Please to join your site! Very good!" and things like this. Over the years it's been getting more convincing. The carrot thing isn't very interesting and was posted years ago, and I guess they're using it to experiment, or something, for things that people don't delete as spam, or have a bet with their mates, or for some search engine thing, or something. On very rare occasions they're logged in as users which link to blogs about usual spammy stuff, viagra and things, but usually anonymous.

Very weird.
