Ny server og diverse. Blandt annet ny versjon av Movable type. Ikke helt sikker på hvilken faktor som har skylden for de orginale aene og aaene osv. Derav mangelen på fiksing. Skal se hva jeg får gjort etterhvert…

Ch-ch-ch-changes

I’ve finally succumbed. I’ve upgraded to MT 3.2. Actually, it turned out that I needn’t have waited so long seeing as they’ve changed the licencing policy so I didn’t need to purchase one after all (as long as I deleted all the other potential weblog authors in my database, but as none of the others ever need to post anything that wasn’t a big loss).

Anyway, one of the reasons I wanted to upgrade – the major reason in fact – was that the spam was getting unmanageable. So now commenters need to be authenticated in order to post. However, I can’t seem to figure out how to authenticate any of you (I click the option but no one shows up in the trusted commenters list) so for the time being I have to accept any comments before they’re published.

SO IF YOU COMMENT AND IT DOESN’T SHOW UP, DON’T TRY TO WRITE IT AGAIN, JUST WAIT A FEW HOURS, OK?

Confuzzled – and just a teensy, weensy bit annoyed

What’s with this “new” spam which just links to legitimate sites? I have just received four messages, linking to yahoo.com, microsoft.com, livejournal.com and bluesoft.co.uk.

Here’s an example:

Name: timothy ballard
Email Address: gabriel@internet.com
URL: http://www.yahoo.com/r/sq

Comments:

it was fun visiting here. wishing you a great day!

WTF? Not that I don’t appreciate the odd comment saying my site is fun, but with four different ones posted within seconds, it’s obviously spam. Is the goal to make me blacklist yahoo.com? Well, I ain’t falling for it. And I really, really, really don’t see the point. Give up already! Yes, you managed to annoy me, happy now?

Silly meme, via. (With comments in parenthesis.)

Robin needs your help coming up with a hip/cool blog/domain name. (Uhm. No.)

A normal-sized adult robin needs about 40 calories a day. (Crikey!)

Robin needs to pay the ransom for King Richard’s release. (What? All on my own?)

Robin needs lots of cuddles and tender loving care. (Don’t we all?)

Robin needs to choose between a local college and an out-of-town college. (I seem to be leaving it a bit late.)

Robin Needs $600. (Certainly, I could find the use for that.)

Robin needs to find a new crush. (Eh. I’ll make do with the one I’ve got, thanks.)

Robin needs an address from Prolix. (Who or what is Prolix? And why do I need an address?)

Robin needs some help. (I think that’s pretty obvious, don’t you?)

Robin needs to go to school. (I don’t have time, as I also have to work.)

One of those was from this, which I will read at some point.

Tounge all in a twist?

I need to keep these somewhere:

Beginners:
Three witches watch three swatch watches. Which witch watch which swatch watch?

Intermediate:
Three switched witches watch three Swatch watch switches. Which switched witch watch which Swatch watch switch?

Expert:
Three swiss witch-bitches, which wished to be switched swiss witch-bitches, wish to watch three swiss Swatch watch switches. Which swiss witch-bitch witch wishes to be a switched swiss witch-bitch, wishes to watch which swiss Swatch watch switch?

Når biler står “orginalt” parkert med blinkende lys, hvordan er det meningen at vi skal tolke lysene? Jeg leser dem slik: “Jeg vet at jeg står i veien, men siden jeg anser min tid for å være mer verdt enn din, driter jeg i det.”

Jeg tror det ville gjøre meg mer vennlig stemt om folk spilte dumme og lot som om de ikke forsto at de var i veien, faktisk…
