Policy Change
Until now, comments have been wide open, with no restrictions. You don’t have to register with the blog or enter an e-mail address, and comments appear instantly. But, alas, after two months online, the spammers have found us.
For the past week I’ve been fighting spam entries in the comments. I have an exclusion list of suspicious words, but it isn’t enough of a deterrent. Every day I delete twice as many as the previous day, and the trend is on an upwards curve.
So from now on, every comment will be held until I approve it. Sorry! You don’t have to do anything more than wait for your comment to appear, but it won’t show up automatically. If you don’t like that approach, I’ll offer another alternative, such as site registration.
My apologies for the inconvenience.

May The Font Be With You
Strip it down to its essential text — and I mean text literally — and the first Star Wars movie is still a lot of fun.
Click here, and please be assured that if a security warning appears, this is perfectly safe to launch! It presents no risk whatsoever! I’m just trying to save you the trouble starting a remote terminal session manually. But if you’d rather do that, follow these steps in Windows:
Start → Run… → Open: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl → OK
Be patient while the widescreen “video” prepares to roll, and enjoy Star Wars Episode IV as it was never meant to be seen! Be amazed by the stunning textual graphics that will transport you to another time and place, long ago and far away … !
