Comments
Comments are temporariliy disabled while I deal with some nasty spam attacks. I know what I need to do, just need a few spare moments to do it. Should be back up later tonight.
Speaking of which, where ARE all the comments? Seems kind of dry here lately. I'm not going all attention seeking emo boy here, I'm just curious if there's some technological reason. I'd ask you to post a comment as to why, but...
UPDATE: Okay, they're back. I updated to Movable Type v3.32 and it didn't really fix the problem. For some reason the SpamLookup word/phrase filters are JUST. NOT. WORKING. I'm clueless as to why. And the Movable Type team seems to have movd all tech support, including helpful forum members, behind a subscription wall. I'll try a third party spam filter tomorrow, but in the meantime I'll just deal with the spam and manually delete it.

Have you considered Akismet? Works nicely with MT, although you can ge some goofy errors in your acivity log from cerain trackbacks.

Cool, I'll check that one out. I like the idea of a third party AI (or whatever) that looks over the comments.

Huh, so apparently just obfuscating the name and location of the comments.cgi file has foiled the spambots. At least for the moment.
