Trackback Disabled

I disabled trackbacks on the entire blog. I’m tired of dealing with the spam. Perhaps if Haloscan puts something together that makes some effort at blocking it I’ll think about it again, but for now, it’s too much work deleting the dozens of spam trackbacks every single day. While the trackbacks will still appear in my Haloscan account, I don’t see any point linking to them from here if most of them are spam. I can control that much, and I am exercising that control.

Have a good weekend!

    There’s more all around on the latest file-sharing stuff, here, here, and here.

While I don’t…

  • Life with wireless

    Yes, I did pick up the wireless card and get the wireless router working within the existing network. I’m blogging this from the bedroom right now before I hit the sack. That is very cool.
