New Thingy for Comments
Ok, in hopes to get more comments, without requiring registration, yet without the threat of bots, I've installed a "captcha" plugin.
What is that you ask?
Its the text you have to fill in when you sign up for free email addresses. Yes, I know, I hate them too, but I now see why they're there. In two days of not requiring registration, I had to clean out 7 spam comments. It would be annoying to have to do that every day.
On an interesting note, IU is currently doing research into analog computing. I recently attended a talk about it, and the cheap analog computers they had could easily, no work involved, crack these captcha pictures. If any of you want to make a lot of money, and have no scruples.... well I digress.
Long story short, registration is not required, but encouraged for features I hope to roll out.... sometime. All you have to do is type the text in once, that's it.
