…I’ve disabled it.
Apparently it’s been preventing the comment box from popping up, amongst other glitches.
Everyone should be able to comment. Vlad in Kiev who has been trying to sell me eleven tons of recreational fertility chemicals, you are not welcome (вы не радушны). Spammers will be shot and their heads will be boiled and then displayed on pikes at the four gateways into my blog.
The rest of you can fire away at me. I’ll do my best to fire back.
Just thought id try it out. I like the diagram btw – i think i might use it as the outline for the disscussion part of my thesis.
I thought it pretty much summed up academia, actually.
Although I don’t see “alcohol” and “alcohol-related shouting of fundamentally opposed viewpoints as if it will solve anything” in there anywhere.
I think you’ll find that if you look carefully the whole thing is infused with whisky…
Good point, well argued.
…not missing the fact that I’ve been corrected by someone still in academia.
Fine insider work.
don’t you use Askiment spam catcher? I don’t get much spam but it picks almost all of it up, but dougal gets thoosands and would be completely unable to blog without it. We have it as a wordpress plugin.
Yep, I’ve got Akismet.
If I start getting lots of spam, I’ll set it going.
But I can also recommend one called Tan Tan Noodles (http://tantannoodles.com/) which saved my life from hordes of smut-peddlers last year, and the one I’m running at the moment.
I’ve also enabled Admin Moderation again, so nothing gets posted until I’ve checked it.
Shame about IntenseDebate. But no, I don’t trust it right now.

Akismet.

There’s something quite appealing about boiling people’s heads and sticking them on spikes. I’m not usually keen on that sort of thing but today? Yep. Before breakfast too. Crumbs.
But. Further down on t’blog, you mention ‘teeth exploding in your mouth’? And I always like your words but I like that bit very much indeed. I have put it in my pocket and will say it with my mouth to someone lucky later.
I have just been listening to the War of the Roses part of the BBC’s “This Sceptred Isle”, and at that time they were big on decapitate-and-display as a method of focussing the mind (other people’s minds, obviously), so that’s where the head-spiking came from. And there’s nothing quite like humiliating the body-parts of your mortal enemies before breakfast. (I’d imagine).
You flatter me outrageously.
More, more. < ---- pathetic.
Ahhh, that’s better! Akismet does it for me. The only drawback is my sensitive eyes have to see the ones that are presented to me for final decision–spam or no spam. Ir worries that they seem to think that a philosopher/chef could attract people who want to see those things.
Yes, I’m also not too keen on seeing the very worst of the human condition paraded in front of my eyes, even if I do get to click “Die die die” (or “Spam”, as the button is more commonly known)and make them go away.
When we’re rich, we’ll employ people to manually filter our comment queue. It will happen.
cracking pic of Hellsea on your banner pal.
nothing to do with this post, but i don’t say nice things often, so i thought i would.
you can get up off the floor now.
Blimey.
You feeling alright?
Regarding the banners, well over half of them are my photos now, and I’m adding to them every week. So you’ll probably see even more Hellsea in all its infernal glory when you pop in – unless you’re really lucky.
