Momentarily defeated by idiots

I have disabled comments from non-typekey users and disabled all trackbacks, since I am wasting way too much time cleaning up stupid movabletype spam.

If the uptoolate.com webhost ever wakes up and upgrades to perl 5.8, I might give MT-Blacklist a whirl, but my hands are tied at the moment.

This almost makes me want to try a different blogging software package, but I'm doing enough web development for the lab right now to take on anything additional for fun.
