I received 15 more comment spams today and I've decided to start working on getting .Text setup to replace MovableType. MovableType is a fine piece of software that was easy to setup, but customizing the mess of perl code would be a nightmare. I'm looking forward to being able to tinker under the hood of .Text to try some comment spam countermeasures.

The only thing standing in my way now is the fact that SQL Server refuses to install on my Windows server. Long ago, an MSDE uninstall failed mid-way through and no amount of work on my part can convince SQL Server that everything is all right. This might be a good opportunity to just re-pave the system and upgrade to Windows Server 2003.
