Quick Rant

Spam sucks... REALLY sucks... especially now there's "Blog Comment Spam".

 

I just found a comment to my piece on  Mark's Sysinternals Blog: Running Windows with No Services had attracted a long advert about buying shares in US lumber industry companies!

 

Fortunately, blogger both lets me delete the command and apply word-recognition to (hopefully) prevent automated comment spamming.

 

The internet is so much more a wild and dangerous place from that which it was 10 years ago - I sometimes wonder just how naieve people were back then!

Trialing offline blog software

One of the main problems I've had with blogging is that it is often not convenient to go online to post.

 

So just for a giggle, I'm trying out Qumana - an offline blog tool for Windows.

 

So far so good - it has a nice WYSIWYG editor, sits in the system tray until needed, and has a "dropbox" to let me drag URLs into to collect them for later inclusion in a post.

 

There's also a load of support for adding advertising to my blog - something I'm somewhat ambivalent about. But then again, if I can drive up traffic to these musings and get some benefit from it then so much the better!

 

As to whether it will make me post more blog entries - well, that's to be seen!
