Link Roundup: Spambot Edition

Written by Nickel - 6 Comments

Late last week, I discovered that one of our anti-spam plugins was being a bit overzealous, and turning away many commenters as potential spambots. I’m not sure exactly how long this has been a problem, but I apologize if you were affected.

Over the past week or so, my wife’s 2004 Odyssey has given her a blinking green “D” (drive) light on several occasions. After looking in the owner’s manual, we were a bit concerned because the blinking green light is a sign of transmission trouble.
