Tim Ginn’s Personal Blog

Well, I’ve fixed the problem with posting comments. Now anonymous users can post just by filling in a CAPTCHA (which should defeat the spam bots). The CAPTCHA’s seem to be mostly math problems (simple addition) so, that shouldn’t be a problem for any of my readers

It also means I don’t have to go through and approve comments; which is great because to be honest I wasn’t doing too good a job of it. I’ve deleted all the old spam comments, now, too (and read new ones). Anyway, I’m quite a bit happier with this layout and think it might just help me post more regularly… which would be good.

I updated Drupal today (and picked a new layout with some more customizations added to it). Anonymous posting doesn’t seem to be working, though (I’m suspicious of whether or not it even worked before the update seeing as in how I’ve had absolutely no comments for ages). So, if you’re commenting here and nothing’s happening: sorry, it won’t go through. I’ll try and fix this problem ASAP. In the mean time, enjoy the new layout

I came across this today at work: World Cup 2006 Live in ASCII art. It’s actually ridiculously entertaining (and I don’t normally watch soccer). It’s fun when random things like that are linked to from the sites that I actually need to read for work.
