Commentary

Well, it’s my sad duty to inform any and all visitors to the horhaus that I’ve had to close the comment feedback on all but the most recent posts. The ridiculous amount of cowardly (and, I’ll wager, 100% ineffective) spam is too time-consuming to delete individually, so until I get around to upgrading to the more efficient Movable Type 3.0 please feel free to e-mail us any thoughts you might have on older posts and I’ll do my best to play catch-up later.
All commenting is still open in the galleries, though, so keep ‘em coming!

I apologize for the lowly state of our society.

UPDATE!: Thanks to the ever-vigilant Matt Forsythe (whose advice can be seen in the comments section of this post) and Jay Allen’s fantastic Movable Type BlackList Plug-In, I’ve eradicated all spam from the site and blocked the offending spammers (at least for the moment).
In short… ALL POSTS are once again OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

So, I guess, just disregard this post, then?

while the cat’s away… i just returned from my holiday to find over 800 comments waiting for me.

to retaliate, it took about 20 minutes to install jay allen’s mt blacklist and delete all the offending posts. it searches from a master black-list.

here’s the plug-in:
