Contact, etc

To contact me about any aspect of this website email:

Try to use intelligent and/or common sense message headings if you're going to contact me, otherwise Gmail will simply trash them. It's good like that. Go go Google!

A spammer or spammers, has gotten hold of my email address and has spammed a bunch of addresses, mainly Russian ones. I'm getting tons of mailer daemon errors. Well, if anyone comes here looking to see why they're getting spammed (after Googling for "ulujain") and sees this - it isn't me. I rarely, if ever send mail from that address. Just some unscrupulous website giving away my address to spammers.

I maintain a FAQ page. Sort of.

Hot-linking

I've disabled hot-linking of my images. Now, most of the images here are screenshots of copyrighted games or stills from movies, of which I own no rights to at all. What I pay for is the bandwidth used here, and I only get so much a month of it.

I'm indebted to this resource for giving me a good example to disallow hot-linking. It's not foolproof - no method is - but it helps me save bandwidth.

The actual code I use in my .htaccess file is:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?ulujain\.org [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\. [NC]
RewriteCond %(HTTP_REFERER) !yahoo\. [NC]
RewriteCond %(HTTP_REFERER) !altavista\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !alltheweb\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !search\?q=cache [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http:// [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|png)$ - [F]
