I’ve had lively discussion with others about how to better handle comment spam in WordPress over at the wp-hackers mailing list. There is a lot of theory over there.
So to get things rolling, I assembled an anti-spam plugin called OSA. OSA will do a number of things that I’ve hand-tweaked WordPress to do in the past, including filtering out comments that use HTML entities.
I wrote about socks over at Valerie’s site. Mental breakdown averted.
Of course, I didn’t mention my site at all, which is kind of the point of guest posts, isn’t it? Duh.
I’m going to order a new copy of this for Abby, because I lost mine, but Robert Munsch actually readsThe Paper Bag Princess on his site.
Well, it looks like I’m back into the old pattern of watching TV. What was good this week?
Well, Lost was different. I forefaw this devolving into a Lord of the Flies sort of thing from the first day, and now you’ve got your two camps - the hopeless optimists and the sheltered survivalists. Hopefully something happens next week that puts them all back together.
I had a deram last night that I was riding around the neighborhood on my bicycle, and there were blue CAT-5 leads running all over people’s lawns. It turned out that they were all getting Fios installed, and I was pleasantly surprised - in my dream - when I returned home to find the blue cable in my back yard, too.
That’s when the garage exploded. Even in my dreams, I’m doomed.
