Sorry

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Sorry for the couple of spam comments yesterday. The server this site is on had a Perl problem that made my installation of both Movable Type and MT-Blacklist stop working correctly even though the comments functions kept working. So my anti-spam tool wasn’t working and I couldn’t get into MT to delete the spam comments, but I could run a script that closed all comments, so that’s what I did. I’m going to go ahead and leave them closed, rather than trying to open them back up and close them after 30 days like I normally do. Hopefully, the few comments weren’t a bother to anyone besides me. 🙂

  • Final thoughts on friendship

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 5 minutes

    I’ve been tracking the comments and responses to that last post about friendship and wanted to share some of what I’ve been thinking as I read through the responses. Andy got the real key to what I was asking, the bit about whether our expectations are realistic. Acceptance, understanding, love, protection, loyalty – that about…
