Just a few “site news” bits. Although I posted Kevin’s “anti-comment-spam” post - I still have yet to implement one of them on this site. Depending on Jay Allen’s plugin setup - I am leaning towards that one. (Although the bayesian (sp?) filter method mentioned in the comments also looks really good… decisions decisions). In either case - as you can probably tell - this site gets hit quite frequently with comment spam. (kind of ironic - considering that post) so hopefully this weekend I’ll have some time to install something and that will change.
Update: Jay Allen’s MT-Blacklist plugin is now installed. If you notice anything funky - please email me and let me know. (Just an FYI - I did have to do a little modification to it to work with my “RSS Feed” display. If you need to know this - I’ll post it. But I’m under the impression that it’s not a widely used mod. Some good news - it works seamlessly with subscribe to comments - so if you have that running, install without fear. As Robyn noted in the comments here, however, it does not work with the Comment-Queue hack. If this is something you really need - let me know - and I will try to get it working.

Also - I will probably be doing a “product review” of Apple’s iTunes for windows (”Hell froze over” yesterday). I downloaded it the SECOND I heard about it. So far - I give it a “A-”. Not perfect, but who is. So far I am loving it. I think my only complaint will be that it might be “too easy” to buy an album - making things very dangerous for music-addicts like myself. Just to give you a quick summary - downloaded an album. copied the files to another computer. burned a cd. All with NO PROBLEMS!!!! Some minor UI complaints - but other than that a very good experience. Good job, Apple!
