Well, I’ve closed all comments for all posts that are older than 31 days after having to deal with 700+ entries of comment spam this morning. Will do the same on UFies at lunch. Oh, and I I track down those responsible, I will be having their balls as decoration on my wall. Props to […]

Wow, finally…. I finished importing 8 years (1996 to 2002) of blog (journal, diary, news page, whatever…. what I had in 1996 was a blog but “blog” hadn’t been invented yet) into movable type. This has been a long and painfully boring task, as you can imagine 6 years of cutting and pasting would be.

Ok, I just spent the last five hour or so dealing with comment spam, basically since my last entry, across the four blogs I have. Lots of fun. Looks like others are getting it too. Sadly, I can’t bill these bastards for my time, though hopefully someday I can take it out of them via

Just a quick shout out to Robert Scoble of The Scobleizer Weblog who while he’s a MS guy (ie: not exactly my normal crowd) he’s got a huge wealth of knowledge, and gobs of daily links of goodness. Great way to occupy your day free time. This is a unsolicited ad for some guys weblog

I set up the GeoURL thing, which allows you to put in your co-ordinates and see what other bloggers (or whoever) are “near” you in “meatspace.” It’s a neat idea, as long as you don’t mind giving our your ICBM address to the world. Now I can see who lives near me and stalk them.

Didn’t see this one before, but it’s nice to see who is linking to me. Thanks to Kasia for the pointer.
