Hi there!

I released a Brazilian Portuguese Ruby book, hope that  
it helps spreading the language. 🙂  
Here is the publisher’s book URL:

[http://www.brasport.com.br/index.php?Escolha=8&Livro=L00187](http://www.brasport.com.br/index.php?Escolha=8&Livro=L00187)

It’s my first book and it’s on pre-order right now,  
will be released next April 5 (and April 6 is my  
birthday, wow!). 🙂

Best regards,

For some reason that is just too cool. I wish I could read it ☹

Here’s to strong sales!

I checked there but did not found it, so I edited the  
page, thanks for the tip! 🙂

This is really alien. When I visit the page I

a) see my addition and  
b) don’t see yours

Could anybody else please check this page as well?

Weird!

Ouch! And I keep seeing my changes and not the Josef’s.

I think I should clean up that page a bit but I’d prefer to do that  
under my real name. Up to now that fails - I always end up with some  
strange message about UserID 111 😑

At least one person editing the RubyBookList page is using  
dsl.telesp.net.br as an IP provider.

At some point in the past, someone from dsl.telesp.net.br spammed the  
Ruby Garden Home page and earned an explicit entry in the ban list.  
I’ve reviewed the log and it seems that there is no recent spam from  
that IP provider, so I’ll remove it from the ban list.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If anyone else is having strange problems  
with stuff mysteriously disappearing, you too might be stuck in the  
tarpit. In most cases, setting up an explicit user name in the  
preferences link at the bottom of each page is enough to escape the  
tarpit. In some cases where you are unlucky enough to share an IP  
provider with a spammer, you might be in the explicit ban list. In that  
case, feel free to contact me with any questions.

So, is the tarpit working? Just some stats over the last month:

Number of legit wiki updates: 222  
Number of spam attacks: 704

So, the spam attacks are still over 3 times the legit traffic.  
Fortunately, most of the attacks are directed to the tarpit. I’ve spent  
very little time lately doing any wiki cleanup and it looks as few  
others have either. The tarpit seems to be doing its job.

Seems that they are with more control about some  
spammers right now.

> Sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem. 🙂

Cool!
