Wow, a few days shy of my 2nd month doing this Bloggy buisness and I’ve already been tagged by The Stupid Ranger for a thing called a Meme. Now having read both of Brin’s uplift Trilogies I know that a Meme is a lifeform made out of ideas!!!! So I am basically being infected!

Good morning Noah! Thanks for the comment. By the way, you have a good writing style and I like reading your stuff. You’d be a regular Blogger and I would read. Think about it….
The ‘Ire’ in quagmire..’ I liked that…
Then again if he blog… He might not have time to comment on yours… hehe! 😉
I’ll hit this tomorrow. I’m knee deep in code stuff today!
… aaaaand here it is🙂
Ronin, Graywulf and Becky did theirs and I learned a lot of cool things.
Come on Mr The Game and Bartoneous!
Phil,
Thanks! I’ve considered putting up a blog for a while – I’m mostly a reader and commenter here and there. ‘Sandwater Outcomes’ is my first toe-dip into the pool. The project it’s chronicling is somewhat stalled right now, but might be moving again sometime soon. As for writing about other gaming stuff, I’m tempted. I’ve got a few settings I’d like to toss out, mostly for vanity’s sake, for my 28mm games, and my RPGs. I might have to give Sandwater Outcomes a few siblings…but there’s school and family, so… 🙂
Here we are:

JXkmrn You have a talant! Write more!
Woot! My very first Spambot Comment!
I should get this framed!
Capcha anyone?
and second
sigh
As long as hey stay here I won’t worry too much…
Nuked…
The thing though, is that with your latest 5 comments widgets the spam bots gets more visibility then they would even if they stay in this thread.
On the other hand, it alerts you to them faster, allowing you to kill them ASAP.
That it does. But I also get instant email notification of each comments that hits any post of the plog. So the Nuke button is never far…
I just had a flash of a supremacy game here…
Where something like the following happened:
A player: Well there’s nothing i can do to win this game so I’ll nuke you Phil.
Phil: Why me! Yan Is closer to win then me anyway.
Me: I have to agree.
The other player: Well I’m coming back with Yan afterward I’d rather kill you…
Me:… 😉
Phil: WTF!
Gotta love nukes! LOL!
This Post is now the official Chatty DM Graffiti Wall!
Ugh… Supremacy, one of the most flawed game I’ve ever played…
Damn you nuclear weapons with no political cost!
It’s fun to see that the kill Yan/Phil first applies in multiple games…
Yeah. I’m just too good for my own good. If you know what’s good for you, it might be good idea to get me while you can. Cause I’ll make good use of any extra time to pound you for good. 😉
Okay, they’re starting to move into porn ads. Maybe a captcha isn’t an awful idea.
Or for another method, maybe there’s a way to prevent urls in unregistered names?
No there isn’t with Blogger…
My solutions are
1) Move to WordPress and use cool Captcha widgets
2)Or activate Blogger’s Captcha…
Which I’m doing now… I can’t have sex ads here…
Actually, if you’re interested, I can help with the first one.
Shoot me an email if you want, and we can discuss it.
