Golfing at St Andrews

Jack arrived home from Scotland on Friday. I was unclear on the details of his itinerary, and was very happy when I found out from the airline that his flight was direct from Glasgow to Chicago, avoiding the mess at Heathrow. He has been spending some time writing up his adventures, so check out his account at exempli gratia. The first thing I asked him when he got back was whether he got to play the Old Course.

Spam Karma

When I installed the alpha version of WordPress 1.3 for Five Acres, I broke plugin processing. Among other things, this meant that the plugins I was using to control comment spam stopped working. Fortunately, WordPress 1.3 allows you to delete comment spam a lot more easily than did WordPress 1.2.

Yesterday, I wasn’t feeling very well, so I spent some time getting plugins to work on my weblog again. Once I did, I installed Spam Karma, about which I had read good things. It is working flawlessly for me, and I am gloating over the number of spams it has killed.
