Take that, spammers!

David from AFoE sent me this wonderful link. It's this neat little code which will make life very miserable for all those spammers who've been making our life very miserable. Stefan, who wrote this, deserves a medal or something - it's really ingenious. It's simple, easy to install, and great fun.

What now happens when you want to leave a comment is that you are being asked to type a certain word into a text box in the comments pop up. It's nothing complicated, and it will keep this site much cleaner (or so we hope). I'm even going to make it fun for you by picking interesting words.

Thanks for your understanding!!

Update: Hm. It just worked like a charm. And now it doesn't let anybody post. Strange. Let me tinker a bit. I'm no computer pro, so I'm only guessing what I'm doing. Sorry.

Update II: OK. Everything is as it should be. I just forgot to tell my program which is the word of the day. D'uh.
