At last

3 months and 1 day since last post? Wow. What a slacker you turned out to be.
Anywho, it's Halloween and here's your treat:
The reCAPTCHA dealie is finally up and active on the contact page. It's only took me 15 minutes of serious thought/work. I could've done this months ago when I first mentioned it.

Human verifcation, part 2

This isn't quite as easy as I hoped. The technology is called CAPTCHA (read more at Wikipedia).
At this point I'm opting for a service called reCAPTCHA, which uses the words to help digitize books. Sounds like a good thing.

It looks like this is going to take some serious back end which I could honestly use more practice doing anyway.

But not today. I just made myself a lovely margarita with fresh squeezed key lime juice. So that's what I'm doing right now.

human verification

I'm looking into this. You know those little pictacodes where you have to enter a blurry word or number combination to prove that you're not some sort of spam bot.
I've received enough gibberish emails through my site to want to try this. Hopefully it'll be up in the next day or so.

Survey

Take the survey if you're a web person too.

Here's why I took it: http://www.zeldman.com/2007/04/25/the-profession-that-dare-not-speak-its-name/
Love Zeldman, love A List Apart. Gotta learn somewhere.

Cleaner.

"About Me" section gone. I didn't care for the description either. A little bit more template editing and we'll be there.

Getting better.

It's getting better, but I'm still not loving it. The CSS is a little dense (read: more complex than I'm used to) and I'd like to shrink down or remove the "About Me" section as it's ugly and unnecessary to me. I'll delve into that at another time.
