Captcha Beast
Tuesday, December 6th, 2005Yesterday I started getting TONS of Spam Comments on my journal…It’s not as though any of them showed since comments are set to be monitored…but It left me stuck having to read all the crappy Spam and delete it before it actually showed. I looked around for some Anti-Spam programs for Wordpress and came up with a few.
The 1st I downloaded was something called "Spam Karma 2- Reloaded"… That seemed to work pretty good but for some reason it started to over-ride the option
of "moderation"…it basically took over like RISE OF THE MACHINES from Terminator 3. I started messing with the settings on it more and STILL couldn’t get it to the way I liked…and then I remembered the Juggler telling me about something he installed called "Captcha" ….which works like blogger.com’s anti-spam comment feature. It seems to NOW be working on my journal but there’s 2 submit buttons (not sure why). Anyway…in order to comment you must type in the 5 digit code after everything’s filled out and then click either submit button. Tricky….and even trickier for me to install [I ride the Little Yellow Wordpress Bus]. Hopefully this will solve my Spam troubles…more on this to come.
END OF COMPUTER PLUG IN JABBER.
Let’s see…uh… I’m looking forward to seeing Cinderella "Cell Phone" Man tonight. and I JUST saw the movie preview for the the NEW X-3 Movie….DAMN IT LOOKS GOOD! I think I’m most excited about the new
characters…and especially curious about Kelsey Grammer as Beast.
A friend sent me a picture with Kelsey in full Beast Gear and it looked pretty sweet.
I’m a little worried that Bryan Singer’s not doing X-3 but I have a feeling it’s still going to be pretty good. Wishful thinking? Maybe.
Oh, i should mention that tonight I’ll be going to THE GYM and working out. It might not show in the photos I post, but I’ve gained some weight. Ever since I quit smoking anything I eat turns right to fat. Playing hockey helps …but not enough. I know much of it has to do with my diet but I’d rather eat the foods I enjoy and try and work it off rather than eat Rabbit food.
I have a pretty addictive personality…perhaps this Gym thing will get under my skin and I’ll actually have 6 pack abs. I guess it beats going back to smoking… I just need to stay busy and keep my mind off that. Let me just say that even after almost 2 years of not smoking, there isn’t a day that i don’t think about it and miss it. I’m not preaching here, but GOD it’s such a powerful drug.
UPDATE! I switched my anti-spam thing to Gatekeeper…so now instead of a number to type in….it asks you a question and there’s only one submit button. [i was getting some "confusion emails" on that]
Both plugins are great, by the way
Special Thanks to Suki for the hook up on this

Ok, in case i happen to forget my name …this shirt is going to come in handy. Now, if by some chance your forget your name and happen to be wearing a "Bob Shirt" [
