Spam No More
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007Alas, my love affair with Typo is over. While it was nifty to get rails installed, and to work with ruby in getting the blog running initially, I’ve been bogged down by slow rendering pages, SPAM, viagra, cialis, nexium, and ads for whatever other drug one can possibly think of… not to mention the ever-so-popular “increase your penis size by 11 inches” spam. UGH!
But now, spam no more. I’ve moved the blog to wordpress, with Akismet as my ally. Little did I know, this $hit is pretty darn nifty in itself. Installation took a surprisingly short time, the plugins are abundant, and good lord, I love this theme. Furthermore, in the weeks I’ve lazily spent migrating my posts from the old blog to here, Akismet has successfully done away with over 500 spam comments. *ucking brilliant.
As mentioned regarding the migration, all the posts from Typo have been imported. I’m considering moving the legitimate comments here too, but haven’t done so yet.
The focus now will consist of posting about all the important stuff I’ve missed out on writing about in the past year, no thanks to my spam epidemic. Here’s hoping you the layout, and what’s to come. So far, I certainly do.
