So, I updated the software that runs this thing to the latest and greatest. Not that anyone cares, but there were security exploits in the old ‘n busted. OMG!!! SECURITY SPLOITS!!!1!

The two or three of you who post comments will notice a change… if you post anymore comments. I added a captcha. That’s the annoying little letter fragments you have to type in order to submit comments. That should just about drive what few valid comments I get right down to zero in no time! I know, I hate captchas too, but the spam was getting out of hand and this probably won’t even catch it all. Oh, and this isn’t entirely evil; if you comment on my site, you actually be helping the Internet! I lifted this right from the company’s site:

By entering the words in the box, you are also helping to digitize texts that were written before the computer age. The words that you see were taken directly from old texts that are being scanned and stored in digital format in order to preserve them and make them more accessible to the world. Since some of the words in these texts are difficult for computers to process, we are using the results of your efforts to help decipher them.

See? You’re helping the Internet make books obsolete! Think of all the happy trees you’re saving by commenting on this site. Your class-fueled guilt (if you have any) will be notably lessened by helping out. I’ll stop whoring for comments now.
