Well, it was bound to happen sometime. I just removed 256 spam comments. I hadn’t cleaned up for 4 days. Which is not too strange considering I don’t have internet at home, but still. I need a good way to shield this blog from spam, apparently. Suggestions are welcome.
In other news, I moved succesfully. I have tv by now, but still no internet or landline phone at my new home. Which is a shame, but oh well. Otherwise I like my new place. I have a couch now! If you’re in the area (Amsterdam) and want to drop by, let me know.
In other social news, I turned 19 a little less than an hour ago. I’m not sure what there is to be excited about, but the rest of the world seems to disagree. So be it.

This is a project by the WordPress.com-founders. You can use it for free, given that there’s an Askimet-add-in for your blogging software (which seems to be WordPress, so no problem here).
Just register a wordpress.com-account (you don’t need a blog, just an account without a blog for using Askimet)
A lot of people swear on Askimet, including Robert Scoble and others (which would get a LOT of spam without Askimet…). At my blog, so far no SPAM came through.
Thanks. I actually enabled it a few days after this post (which is nearly a month old – I don’t update as often as I should). I should have mentioned it. Sorry! So far it’s been really great to me, too.
