So, comment spam is increasing again at my site. Despite my efforts to make it easy to post comments at my blog, and keep it open to whoever, and to thwart spam by blocking IP’s and deleting old stuff, it seems like I’m going to have to take additional measures soon.
So, what does this mean for you? Well, first…do not comment using the LJ link…That annoys the crap out of me, cuz I can’t control those comments. Instead, go to http://www.typekey.com and make a sign in name. It is free, it is easy, someday maybe some web application you are using somewhere else will benefit from it.
Once you have a sign-in name go to my website. Click on the “post a new comment” link, or “Comments (some number)” and the “Reply to this” link if you are responding to someone else’s comment. On the next page, there will be a “Sign in” link. Click that. Do this first…it makes life easier.
Then it returns you to the entry page instead of the comment page….I don’t know why, I’m still trying to fix it. But just click on whatever link you did last time to get back to the comment page.
This is going into effect later today or early tomorrow. So please just do it if you want to comment…it takes like a couple minutes extra the first time you do it, then it is nothing extra after that.
Thank you for helping out with the comment spam.

Damn spam indeed. It made me have to go through a process and I don’t like processes. Enough bitching from me. Guess what I found? Your Escaflowne DVD. I had it after all, isn’t that funny? Probably not. Is it yours or someone else’s? I’ll mail it to you if its yours.

I’m pretty sure it is Dirks, give it to him…that way he won’t have all grey cases for his DVD’s in the box, except the spare one which is black….you should have a greyish one. ANyway, that probably doesn’t make sense…just give it to Dirk tonight.

If you’re talking about the box, its black.
