Given that I work with computers every day and I run this domain, you'd think I'd write an article in this tech category more often. But you'd be wrong. Anyway.
So according to a certain comment I left in someone's LiveJournal, I don't offer comments on this site. This is indeed correct. Against my better judgment, I'm probably going to look into a way where people can post comments anonymously, with an anti-spambot measure based on a method called CAPTCHA. There is a service which will do this for you, if you enroll. I, however, being the Perl junkie that I am, would prefer to use somebody else's already-written code to accomplish this nefarious task that will further erode my principles.
For a while I was looking at Kathryn Andersen's Posy web site
generator as a replacement for my hacked Bryar, but it does not
appear immediately obvious how I would incorporate comments
into that base. I'd probably have to write a
Posy::Plugin. Not that there's anything wrong
with that -- Posy certainly looks like it is very good at what
it does -- but it doesn't fit this particular need. And I would
have to port my existing content from one system to another.
I'd rather stick with my hack until it proves obviously incorrect
to do so.
So I did break down and get an account on LiveJournal, but it's really only for prying into others' journals and leaving snarky comments. (We will not discuss my horrible sonnet about quail curry and kashrut.)
