yet another geek blog about Seattle, food, gadgets, games and the art of laziness
Two days after I’d fixed comments on the site, it got hit with comment spam. Searching for solutions to the movable type comment spam problem turned up recommendations to upgrade to Movable Type 3.14 first. That’s done now and comments are back on.
A nice bonus… the management UI incompatibilites with Firefox seem to have been [...]

Directions to Frye Art Museum.
