Blog Owners: a new sort of spam
Ignore this if you don't have a blog.
Referrer spam.
Blog owners have access to their blog stats and can see which URLs are referring visitors to their blogs.
Suddenly I'm seeing gothise.com and medianolimit.com referring traffic here.
I suspected something wasn't quite right and rather than clicking on the links I put "gothise.com" and "medianolimit.com" into a Google search to find out what's going on.
I'm using the Firefox web browser with the Web Of Trust (WOT) add-on which tells me which web sites are trustworthy or not. WOT put red circles against both gothise.com and medianolimit.com (ie it's not safe to visit).
Further down in the search results were some postings by other bloggers who've noticed these and found that the links are spammy.
These days you can pick up viruses and other malware just by visiting a site: therefore I will try not to visit gothise.com or medianolimit.com despite the interesting sounding links they're dropping into my stats.
Looking into my stats some more, pu.gg is also a frequent referrer: I've just Googled it and WOT gives it a red circle (don't visit it).
And some visitors are arriving via short URLs eg adf.ly/2tfK1 which I also won't be clicking on.
I hope this helps other bloggers who are looking at their referrer stats.

I've run out of good skies for Skywatch Friday for the moment, so instead here is some classic 1960s architecture in central Lincoln.

The View From St Hugh
The South West turret of Lincoln cathedral is currently being restored, work that will take over 2 years. Rather than a blank hoarding, we are being treated to this massive panorama of the view from the top. As usual, Bill Stickers will be prosecuted (if they can catch him). Find out more at www.lincolncathedral.com.

The House of Boolean Logic
Boolean logic is fundamental to today's computers and was developed in 1854 by George Boole who was born in Lincoln in 1815. The picture shows Boole's house and school that he established in 1840.

Skywatch Friday
Humber Bridge, East Yorkshire.
Nerd fact: the small "dog-bones" and larger "dumbbells" attached to the cables are called Stockbridge Dampers and prevent the cables vibrating eg due to the wind. Transmission lines have similar "dog-bones" near to where they attach to pylons for the same purpose. So there's something to look out for on a long motorway journey.
