How to fight splogs

At first glance, it seems like a regular blog. But look closer and you’ll see there’s something very odd about the blog’s content: It’s very familiar. Too familiar.

As part of my ongoing effort to make Grumpicus.com my main blog, I’ve moved all of my syndicated feeds over there. I’ll still be using this site as my tumblelog, of course, but I’ll be going back to only posting interesting and amusing links that I don’t necessarily feel compelled to bookmark or digg. I thought about syndicating the grumpicus.com feed back to here but decided against it. After all, if you wanted to see all of that stuff, you would just head over there yourself.

Nowhere fast

Yeah, so this is going nowhere fast.

On the home front, we’ve been busy preparing house and mind for the arrival of the twins. (One thing we have to do soon is to […]

So what’s new?

I haven’t done much blogging lately, either here or over on my domain. Mostly it’s because I’ve been busy… but it’s also in part because, after almost of year of trying out this whole blogging thing, I find that most of the time, I’d rather be coding, or scripting, or playing a game, or reading. […]

You see? This is why I want a server-based weblog tool.

Good thing I have one (clue: you’re looking at it). Now if I could host it on my own domain, life would be peachy.
My laptop is tucked safely away in its bag and, since I decided not to work from home tonight, that’s where it will stay. Last month, that might have kept me from […]

The other white meat

I just noticed a new post over on the the metaBlog News site. It seems that Bryan is still moving forward with development. Cheers!
Meanwhile, here in the land of dotnetweblogs, ScottW continues to put the polish on his own creation. He recent added support for PingBacks and it looks like Trackbacks won’t be far behind. […]

Joke of the Day

Well, I turned off Radio earlier since it was taking up too many resources so I think I’ll just post this here instead.
In the men’s room at work, the Boss had placed a sign directly above the sink. It had a single word on it–”Think!”
