A Black Hole

You will be delighted to hear, as were we, that due to a combination of a database error, an update to Wordpress, its abililty to run on an older version of MySQL, a bad conjunction of the stars, solar spots, a child born on the cusp of Neptune's crossing and an archaic curse laid upon our URL, dating back to a 12th century Viking witch, we have managed to lose all the previous entries hitherto herewith contained.

The main problem was a bunch of parasitic spammers who, not content to bombard us daily via e-mail, have taken to adding to blog comments with inane monkey babble about viagra and goods and services. They managed to overload a spamfilter we had installed and screw everything up.

We will find them and perform horrible medical experiments upon them.

In the meantime, we've switched to Movable Type, which works with our older MySQL and runs a little faster when it's serving static pages. We have also switched off comments for the moment, which is a shame. Perhaps we can add them back in on an individual basis for anyone who can provide photographic evidence of the beheaded corpse of a spammer?

ReCaptcha

We're testing a new system to avoid the filth leeching on the glory. ReCaptcha is a beautiful idea which should both reduce the filth and promote literacy. Let's see if it works.
