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!

    I was off-line most of the weekend, celebrating Angela’s birthday with both of our families, so I hadn’t noticed until I grabbed the copy/paste code for that last entry that ESBN.org had added some features.

  • It makes my head spin..

    Yesterday I spent probably two hours discussing a change that we’re doing at work.
