Effective immediately and for the foreseeable future, I have had to disable new registrations to my blog.
I’m getting nothing but spammers and it’s grossing me out. I’m sorry if you were a legitimate person who wanted to be part of my “in” crowd. )=
If you would like to be registered to my blog, email me and I’ll set you up myself, then you can log in and change your password. I’m really sorry.
Stupid spammers.>__< |:<
You know it’s going to be a great day when your stomach cramps in a weird way, making lunch makes you want to throw up, and you aren’t even sure you want breakfast.
Going to be a GREAT day. >___<
It’s called the “Monday Meltdown” and is an excuse to just let out some of the frustration within. We all have frustration, yes? So – let’s focus our frustration and let it out on Mondays – because we all know that Mondays just deserve it. Just ask Garfield.
Here’s how it is going to work. Rant about anything that makes you angry, irritates you, or is just plain dumb. You can do it here in the comments section or on your own blog. But if you run away to your own blog, please drop me a comment so I can come see. ::grins:: I love to read a good rant.
I also have a button up there you can ‘steal’. Steal meaning take away to your own server. Don’t direct link. I’m afraid I don’t have the bandwidth for that one. (; So – are you ready to vent? I know you are.
Mine’ll be in a separate post this week.
If you need ideas, try…
1. Heath Care Reform
2. Phone Automated Menus
3. Good TV Shows Cancelled!
Go! 😀
Hello out there internets! HELLO!
Poe here. With a challenge for May. Post to your blog during the month of May.
I know, I know, there’s a Ning thing for that, but – you know, a little friendly competition between friends never hurts.
Why? Because Colin and I decided we wanted to post more to our blogs and we figured if we were striving toward a goal, we’d get into the habit.
However, we don’t want it to be all “crammy” and come up with a bunch of crappy “here I am!” posts. (I know how you hate those, Daniel.)
We want it to be about posting stuff you want to talk about to your blog.
Here are the rules:
1. Post 2 or 3 times a week.
2. Aim to have at least 10 by the end of the month.
Seriously. Those are the rules. Colin and I were originally just going to do it between us, but I thought it might be more fun to open it up to the rest of our readers. (My reader, his readers. (; )
Heck. We even discussed – a prize.
Are you in? I’m in! Colin’s in.
Comment here if you want to be in.
I’ll make a big list. (Oooo. Colin! Look! Blog reading! We can read the blogs of people competing with us! 😀 )
The list and my number of posts will get stickied at the top. Or thrown in the sidebar. Whichever is less distracting.
Let’s go!
Dear Poe –
Hi. It’s your blog. It’s been a while and I miss you. In fact, since you last posted, the spammers have found me and keep signing up. I went ahead and deleted them for you – and banned not only an email domain, but an IP address. But, I kind of miss you doing those things for yourself. Not to mention, my version is outdated and I really want to be shiny and new.
Just saying hello.
Love,
Your Blog

Dear Blog –
I’m sorry. Those nasty spammers. How could they?! I saw how many people were registering, but figured I’d just get to it soon enough. Thanks for deleting them. And banning that one guy. (20+ registrations? Really? From one IP/domain?) Fortunately, I made sure to make comments expire so that old entries couldn’t be spammed by people like that. I’ll definitely look into upgrading your version. Maybe it’s spam registration protection is better. And I think I’ll start writing again. I miss telling you (and the Internets!) all about my day.
XXOOXX,
Poe
