The war on comment-spam has now begun. It appears that Blogger might have some anti-spam measures of which I was unaware. Otherwise it’s a strange coincidence that I get a huge number of comment spams for extremely hard-core porn from the Ukraine so soon after starting a WordPress blog. About 24 hours before the spam […] I am starting to move my blog to my own WordPress server. Here is the new URL for my main blog (feed), and here is the new URL for my Source-Dump blog (feed) which is now named just “dump”. WordPress gives me the power to change all aspects of my blog’s operation (including adding plug-ins). […] I have just updated my previous post about licenses and also explicitely licensed my blog.

This isn’t currently a problem as I’m running it on a machine with 256M of RAM, however I would like to run my web server on a 96M Xen instance. 120M for planetplanet is probably going to cause bad performance on a web server […] Are comment-less blogs missing the spirit of blogging? It seems to me that the most significant development about blogging is the idea that anyone can write. Prior to blogs news-papers were the only method of writing topical articles for a mass audience. To be able to write for a news-paper you had to be employed […] At OSDC Mary Gardiner gave a talk titled The Planet Feed Reader: Better Living Through Gravity.
