Joao sez, "As soon as I saw Smartfilter's bots snooping around I blocked their IP ranges (fight fire with fire)... Looking at my logs it seemed to have worked, since people still access Boing Boing through my Distributed Boing Boing. My .htaccess, may be useful for anyone:"
DirectoryIndex dbb.php
order allow,deny
deny from 66.45.10.64/27

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
