Jay Talbot’s Ramblings

Sometimes I miss the old days of computing. The old BBS’ and how geekycool it was to have a modem and talk to people online. Some BBS’ had tons of files, others had tons of message bases tied into something called Fidonet, yet others dealt in adult files, and they were all community based. This is something that the “social-network” sites like Facebook, Orkit, and Myspace are trying to bring back.

Try as we may, the old days are over. Now, we need to look at the future and what community really means. I don’t think we’ll find it with all the hyped up, over-thought and overdone “social-network”, but with building a “1 site for 1 world community.” Who will do it? Only the future holds the answer.

Maybe more later….

Well, looks like the spammers found a way around  the captcha. Be it automated or a person (if so, I hope they die by the hands of a thousand bloggers) you can thank them. You now have to be a registered member of the blog to post comments. Hey! The slime-bags forced my hand, what else am I supposed to do?

Maybe more later…

Update: I think I’ve found a better way to check for spam and still let everyone else post. Still going to require captcha, but hey, it’s better than having to login. Although my blog’s internal spam filter is catching it all, it’s annoying to me.

Heh, someone thinks this blog is important enough to post over 75 SPAM comments in less than 2 days. At least I’d like to think this blog was important, as trite as it can be. lol! I hope I’ve fixed it well enough to keep it from happening quit as much.

Maybe more later….
