I hate comment spam
The winter is finally over. Though it was really nice with a long hard winter, with lots of snow even here in the south of Sweden, eventually one start to long for some sun. The snow melted away a couple of weeks ago but it’s not until now it’s really starting to feel like spring. The sun is up a lot longer and it’s getting warmer every day. My lawn is filled with snowdrops and other flowers. With spring – and sun – comes all that energy one seem to miss during the winter.
So today I decided to start doing something about dotvoid.com. The site is filled with comment spam. I hate it but I haven’t had the energy to do anything about it. So I cleaned out around 4500 comments with links to various “resources”. I still haven’t done anything about the main problem though – that it is so easy to spam the site.
I still use my own content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. It is a great system in many ways but it is not a very good blogging tool. It wasn’t my intention in the beginning but dotvoid.com has more or less become a blog. So either I start implementing CAPTCHA, pingbacks and all that other stuff into Firesite CMS – or I can start using another system or tool that already has this in place. As I said – I’m full of energy and I’ll investigate my options the following days. I use s9y on another site so maybe I’ll go for that. Suggestions are welcome. Anyway – it is time to do something more with dotvoid.com. But first I’ll have a nice walk into town in the warm sunny weather with my girlfriend and my three year old daughter.

How you think when the economic crisis will end? I wish to make statistics of independent opinions!
Not that this is an economics forum but I think most people know that it ends the same way as all other crisises. After going up things go down. After going down thing will eventually, sooner or later, go up. That’s the way it has always been.
