Policy Update: Trackbacks
Due to an inordinate amount of trackback spam coming very close to getting through the comment filters, I’ve decided to disable trackbacks along all posts. This shouldn’t affect most of you but unfortunately it means that anyone who links to any of my posts won’t get an automatic link-back. It’s not necessary, it’s one of those nice-to-have features, but when the amount of “trackback awaiting approval” messages coming in starts to outnumber the real, important e-mail I need, that’s when I take action.
Catch you all later, then.

Someone should compile a list of “useful and fun internet things that have been discarded or killed because some jackasses thought it would be cute/fun to abuse them with spam”.
Email was one of these for a while. There was an extended period where I barely used email at all because 95% of the mail I got was garbage shit. fortunately Google’s fantastic filters turned this around for me. It’s starting to get a bit bad again though.
I REALLY FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO BUY “V1@gr@” FROM JUNK MAIL.
This comment will probably get spam filtered now.
