I’ve still been busy at work (teaching, grading papers, and making two hour “fruit runs,”), so I haven’t had any time to write entries. I also haven’t had time to just sit and surf the web. It’s nice to have a job that doesn’t involve sitting at a computer all day, but I do miss all the web surfing time I used to have.
I keep mentioning how busy I am, but, while I could work round the clock, that would be a waste of effort, since nobody would care. So, I can pretty much put everything down at five o’clock, and my evenings have been totally free for my own pursuits. So, where are the updates?
The problem is I don’t have internet at home, and I don’t have time to use internet at work. The solution is ADSL, but I don’t know if I can get it. If I want to use dial-up internet in my apartment, I have to buy a card for $10, which is cheap, but then I have to pay my apartment $.75 an hour to use a direct phone line. It ends up coming out to around $35 a month, which is ridiculous for such a slow connection.
I’ll check into ADSL, but the lack of a direct phone line will probably preclude it.
Meanwhile, spam comments have become a massive problem. It’s actually only two people, but together they make about 50 posts a day. Upgrading Movabletype is my only hope.
So, continue to stand by, please.
RE: comment spam, have you blocked their IP addresses in your Weblog Config area?
Posted by: mike on September 7, 2004 04:20 PMI used to do that, but it doesn't help, because they just change their IP address. I'm only getting hit by one guy, but he sends 50 a day.
