Facebook, comments, and car accidents

January 6, 2007

Three things today, and yes hasn’t it been a long time since I last posted.

First up, since I’m running in chronological order: I relented and set up a facebook account to stop all these random people harrassing me about it. I wasn’t going to, but I was bored. Really bored.

Secondly, since this site has been suffering rather a lot of comment spam recently (several hundred plus comments per post) I have nuked most of them, and disabled anonymous comment posting for the forseeable future. I intend to reimplement Andrew’s comment protection scheme, but haven’t had time this far. For the moment it’ll just be me posting, but such is life.

Finally, and indeed the big news item of tonight, I have been involved in a minor car accident (but I’m ok ). It would seem some lovely people decided it would be great fun to stick a giant lump of concrete in the middle of a main road. Yes, again I applaud the intelligence of our here nation. Apparently the car wasn’t too keen on the idea of railroading over a fence post at 40mph. And before you make some kind of comment, it was dark, and the bastard thing was just over the brow of a hill. Didn’t see it until it was somewhere behind me. Time will tell as to how badly the car might be damaged, but at this point I must thank the two local police officers who kindly gave me a ride home. It would have been a long cold walk without it, so thank you very much

Nice to know that in this world of chavism, there are still some nice guys out there.

So now, with a sufficiently low pulse, I think I shall head off to bed; (but not before syndicating this feed to facebook )
