Kent is here, finally, after an evening of cancelled and delayed plane flights. He was on the 9:02 flight all along, but had hoped to standby on the earlier 7:00 flight. The 7:00 flight was cancelled, so he came on his original 9:02 flight…which turned out to be more like a 10:55 flight. He finally got to my apartment around 12:30 Houston time, at which point we both said “yay!” and then went to bed. Exciting, right? Today he’s coming out to lunch with us and then he’s going to go downtown to see the Lord of the Rings exhibit at the Museum of Natural Science.
We had our last (I think) softball game of the season last night, at the lovely hour of 6:00. It was SO hot. And SO nasty humid. Gross. But we won, and I went 2-for-2 with a walk. Hurrah.
So one set of my data finished running last night, the other had an error and stopped. Boooooo.
Blog comment spammers suck. I am getting really tired of cleaning up 80+ comment spams some mornings. Thankfully, I use a Movable Type plugin that can either block or moderate the crap comments, but lately the spammers have been bombarding me such that MT can only moderate the comments. Thus they still show up in my database, even if they don’t show up on the site, and I still have to go in and get rid of ’em. Stupid spammers.
Have you thought about using haloscan for your comments? It’s not quite as nice or convenient as the MT service, but I’ve *never* gotten any spam.
I used to use Haloscan when I was still using Blogger, and liked it. The advantage of using MT is that it’s all in one place — I can quickly and easily back up my entire blog, entries and comments together, while with Haloscan it’s a separate system…
Yeah, I agree, MT comments are nice. I use them on 25.net.
I’m having a real problem with trackbacks. I have a million spam trackbacks. Thinking of turning the feature off.
