spam, spam, eggs, spam

ugh.

earlier this month i was on here for the first time in months, and there were a couple of spam comments that i deleted.

today, i logged on, and there were THOUSANDS.

that's embarrassing, and i apologise to any of you who came to my site and saw all of that nonsense.

clearly, it's time to mess around with adding further comment spam protection on here. i've put a new captcha module on there, one that hopefully doesn't suck as much as the last one i had most obviously did. furthermore, i've added another module that identifies spam comments, marks them as spam, and notifies me instead of actually publishing them. i also went into my database, of course, and deleted all of that ridiculous spam. i don't think i deleted any legitimate comments, but if i accidentally did, i am sorry.

there are a few things that i don't suck at--some of which may even involve computers. administering websites, however, is clearly not one of them.
