Comment Spammers Diverted

On here and on Synaesthesia, I installed a plug-in for Movable Type that will alleviate future comment spam. This has grown to be a problem on some Movable Type-powered websites. Luckilly, my website has been spared while some others, including Becca’s, have been inundated. I chose to use this great, free plug-in, which asks a user to enter a security code before posting a comment, instead of other expensive solutions such as upgrading to Movable Type 3.0 or using some other weblog software. Well, there it is.

“Drat”

Seven of my resume packages were returned to me by the post office for insufficient postage. Now I know: the next time someone offers me a free postage meter, I should accept.

Plans This Weekend?

The Appel Farm Arts and Music Festival looks really good this year. I’m considering going if it doesn’t rain. I am going through concert withdrawal, and I need some live music as soon as possible. I bet Ani Difranco, Jonatha Brooke, and Erin McKeown will be more than willing to satisfy my desire for music. I just got an email from Barb, and maybe I’ll see Barenaked Ladies and Alanis Morissette this summer, too.

Here’s the update I promised, which you may have noticed if you visited this website between 3:30 and 6:00 pm today. I am now in possession of a new vehicle — a 2004 Honda Civic LX.
