[I just deleted this post — am trying to restore it now.]
The time that I might have spent blogging, the past couple of days, I’ve spent weeding the comments section of spam. As I go, I close the comments on most of the posts that the spammers have struck, to cut down the number of vulnerable posts. That still evidently leaves an ample supply of open posts, of which the spammers continue to avail themselves.
I’d have installed Jay Allen’s Blacklist plugin, but it seems not to play nicely with sqlite. (I don’t remember who missed the opportunity, these many years ago, to shake me by my collar and shout, “Go with MySql!” — but whoever it was, I’m pretty annoyed right now.) So I’ve been squandering hours de-spamming by hand.
A flock of papers landed on my desk this morning, too, so between spam and papers I’ll be busy for a few days.
This can’t be prevented from coloring my feelings in the present platform perplexity, but I’m with Phil Ringnalda: I’ll cut MT some slack and see what happens. We need to work out Seabury’s license, figure out what the Disseminary would cost, and so on, but we may as well at least try version 3.
On the other hand, some days you just want to throw your hands in the air and look around to a place you know the grass is greener.
