Never noticed that before…

I never noticed this before, but if you put a URL in when you’re commenting on my blog, it doesn’t actually put the URL in there, but rather puts in a URL for a local redirection CGI that will send you to the correct place. I wonder if that’s to stop comment spammers from getting the Google PageRank points that they’re trying for? I don’t remember this before, so I wonder if it’s something that came along when I upgraded to MT 2.661, or when I installed MT-Blacklist.

I see that Misha’s blog, which uses an older version of MT, doesn’t seem to have this feature.

Damn Damn Damn Damn

I was just entering a new “Bad Job Experiences” entry, and had been working on it for about an hour when I suddenly got a pop-up “The application Mozilla has unexpectedly quit”. Buggrit. I haven’t had Mozilla quit on me since the 0.9 days. But that’s the third time an application has unexpectedly quit on my today, so I guess it’s time for a reboot.

I think next time I’m going to edit these entries using vi and cut and paste them. At least when vi quits, I can do a “vi -r” and get back most of it.
