It’s good and cold here in Tallahassee–the frost is literally on the pumpkin. Yesterday, while the electricians worked, I upgraded Movable Type to 3.3, reinstalled Media Manager and several other plugins, attempted a couple of other plugins, and added a “captcha” feature to comments. I had hoped that this would prevent the amount of unmoderated junk comments flowing into the comment queue, but this is not yet the case. I think I can still do some internal tinkering that will outfox the spammers for a while, and am also pondering anti-spam tools for Movable Type.
Anyway, if you can try out commenting on this entry, I’d appreciate it. If you are a registered Typekey user, you will still be able to see your comments show up right away; other commenters will have to wait for my approval. The electricians are here so I’m shutting down!

Hope your having fun in Tally. Gainesville isn’t much warmer, and I heard it snowed in Orlando last night. Maybe I should put snow in quotation marks, but it was big news for them.
We’ve had snow, too. But what’s really funny is that we’re getting some kind of indian summer right now (it’s in the 50s today!), and it’s been mild for a week now, but there’s still snow an the ground. Doesn’t it know when to give up and melt?
My library just started its first librarian blog. We’ve been having fun with it. Have a great thanksgiving weekend! Sheryl
Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving.
It’s a balmy 52 here in sunny Chicago. Great weather for Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Sandy! May your weekend be a bit warmer than today — we’re expecting low 60s in Jersey 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving! By the way, this is not cold weather but I’m glad I did keep my sweaters from Michigan. Millie
45 degrees here–or rather, 45 degrees in Cody, which is the closest weather station, which is actually 32 miles away. Have a very happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy the rest of your month off!
It has been a great month off–we’re off to Black Friday shopping. Thanks all! More on comments later.
Just testing the accessible-captcha feature…
Hi Karen, hope all is well, or at least improving. Just testing my TypeKey along with the new blog link. Seems I was already logged into TypeKey, which is odd. Anyway, simply testing and wishing you well.
This is a perfect chance to start catching up on my FRL comments! This year, one of the things I was thankful for was (were?) your new changes. I wonder what will come from all of this? It’s so exciting! I mean first you move and then you get a double new job, now you are changing your blog tech. What could possibly be next? 🙂
Whew, I know! Well, I just put money down on two new pairs of glasses, my hair is a little different, and I whitened my teeth. That and a handful of new suits to complete the new look (Academic Barbie). That’s ENOUGH!
Comments are fun! Oh yesssssss….
