My rants about everything

Two new improvements have been made today. first of all I’ve finally
gotten around to fix the url redirection, so no longer the extremely
long cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi/cat—- url. Secondly, I’ve installed a
akismet plugin in the comment system, so hopefully a lot less spam in
the comments. A quick grep through the logs gave me the following
histogram over rejected comments per hour:
src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=400x200&chxt=x,y&cht=bvg&chd=t:2,23,37,32,33,23,23,25,36,22">

First appearance, it seems like an effective solution. It might slow
some of comment posting down, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the major
problem atm.

And as a side note, the histogram is made by Google’s chart api. I’m
waiting for gnuplot with support for histograms to reach ubuntu.
