nice article, keep up the good work. lookup zip code

I’ve got to hand it to the individual who keeps pimping www.zipcodeworld.com in blogs far and wide. In addition to getting around, (s)he’s also very well read and seems to have a wide range of interests.

Yesterday I came across this apparent mirror of my site, stripped of css and with links to japanese porn added for good measure. After discussions with Paul and Google, I found some other people who have been similarly affected. Seems to be a proxy for japanese DoCoMo phone users to browse the web on their phone. In these situations I like to ask myself, “What would Mark do?” The answer inevitably is to choke off their access to the server.

Bargain Links:

A funny and pointed parody of the standard Internet Explorer 404 response. (via Zeldman)
