Vacation Time

It’s vacation time right now, which means no school, which means nothing to write about concerning school. So for the upcoming four weeks I will be keeping you entertained with a bit more off-topic and a little less backstage/school posts. School will start again on the 26th of August and since it’s the start of a brand new year in a brand new class, I’m sure I’ll have plenty to write about.

Spam & Comments

Like any other NoFollow blog out there this site is a good target for spammers. This is no problem, since I moderate each comment and Akismet takes care of all the spam. As you can see in the sidebar my counter has sprung up to almost 700 spams at the time of writing, so Akismet is certainly doing its job. I generally check my spam folder before I delete it to make sure no valid comments get sucked in accidentally, but I’m receiving more and more spam every single day and it has gotten to a point where manually checking each comment is becoming a chore instead of a ‘quick check’. So from now on I’ll just trust Akismet and leave it be. This also means that if your comments gets sucked into the spam folder, I will never know it. Sorry! So make sure your comment doesn’t look like spam.

Moving Server

Somewhere next week I will be moving the entire blog over to a new server, so there might be a little bit of downtime. More information on that later.
