I don't usually talk about spam on my blog, because talking about it tends to make one more of a target. However, I feel that I have to address it now because it's making it difficult for readers to reach this site.
In the last two weeks, spammers have been bringing sites down with ferocious spam runs. This site has been unavailable several times, and average load times have been longer. I just want my readers to know what's happening and that I'm doing everything I can to make availability better.

I had been wondering where all the new content was - now I know! Thanks for the partial update; now let's get some blogging going.

I've blocked almost 6,000 spam attempts since February 1, but it just keeps coming! I get so absorbed in it I forget to blog.

I had a couple of those -- they mostly have to do with the comments form in Moveable Type or so I have heard. My host has banned MT for that reason. Now I use Wordpress.
