Movable Type Upgrade and Spam

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I have noticed a sharp uptick in the number of spam trackbacks that are getting through the Movable Type installation since I upgraded to version 4. Anyone else seen the same thing? The default comment spam settings seem to be working pretty well, but whereas I never got any trackback spams getting through, suddenly I’m seeing a few every couple of days.

Then again, that site gets so few trackbacks, maybe I should disable them all the way ’round?

    System Restore

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Spent most of this morning doing another System Restore on a Compaq machine. There wasn’t any specific hardware failure or any indication as to what was happening, but it would just hang. It would go through all the normal NT Workstation boot processes, get to the start screen and never prompt me for a network…

  • Lots of nastiness

    Is it me or is the blog-world getting a little bit nastier every minute? Chris is pissed at Palm, Geek is aggravated with Spam Assasin, (albeit he seems quite a bit less aggravated than Chris *L*), and to top it all off, Doc is pissed about something Andrew Orlowski wrote in which he made stupid,…
