Brian, the guy who takes care of the backend of the site did an excellent job getting the site back up and installing a comment feature that requires you to enter random numbers generated by MT–this reduces Spam significantly and makes the life of the hosting company and thus me, much, much easier.
Brian gets a cut of the advertising from the site and that helps compensate him (not well) and offer up space to other blogs that focus on grassroots politics and the such so every ad bought helps him out as well.
The new feature is an annoyance, but the dastardly people that SPAM everyone give us little choice.
As far as new content, I’ll try and update some this week, but it’ll be hectic. It seems my car has been totalled out for some damage we turned in from two separate incidents that were relatively minor so I’m going to be out test driving and dealing with car salesman. Having sold stereos for 8 years, I have low tolerance for this activity.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve suffered a massive spyware infection that forced me to simply do a brand new install on Windows, changed around my computer set-up and had my e-mail generally shifted around to several sources. If you need something from me or have something to send, send it again because it is likely lost. And spent a lot of time I had off with the girls. So through this weekend is slow, but expect some good car hunting stories.
Most spyware comes from porn sites. Tsk, tsk. Shame on you!
