I got my first bits of spam in the comments sections over the past week. Unless, of course, I number Levitra sales reps and online gambling casinos in my readers. I blocked the offending IPs, but I’m told this sort of thing may get bad. Movable Type 3.0 is supposed to have some powerful tools to fix this sort of thing, but it’s in beta right now.
In the meantime, we’ll hold on tight and see what happens. If worse comes to worst, I may have to close down the commentary sections. If that does happen, remember you can always reach me by e-mail.
On the cool side of things, I’m testing out this new posting program for Mac OS X: ecto. So far, it’s pretty darn neat.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen things like that happen on Live Journal. Chain postings, no less. It’s bad enough that these pricks fill our inboxes…
Hopefully you won’t be bothered by them too much.

Enlarge your penis!
Seriously, there’s a patch of sorts called MT Blacklist that you should check out. My wife uses it and apparently it does a solid job of blocking out the various spammers/scammers.

I should track down something to stop this. I get about 20 a day posted to my site.
