And now, weather and spam

Wonderful weather today - it started up again with a pea-soup-like fog, but by the time I got near Newbury I had to put my sunglasses on. I just couldn't believe it when I got out of the car - it was so sunny and warm, like a summer morning. We have been suffering from unusually cold weather for this time of year for the past month or so, so this change is very welcome. Especially with the weekend coming.

It even made me feel a bit better about the fact that some comment spam escaped the Blacklist again last night. This week has been especially bad spam-wise - Blacklist seems to block around 10-20 spams a day, but newest addresses that haven't yet been added to the list yet can still come trough, and I'm not the only one who's had sudden increases in spamming recently. In retaliation I installed the CloseComments plugin for MT, and closed comments on most of our old entries. You can still comment on the old entries by sending us some email.
