I tend to have an unofficial and unplanned schedule for blogging. I don’t always follow it, but usually I do most of my posting some time in the early-to-mid-afternoon. There are early-morning exceptions, of course, as well as late-night ones. … Continue reading →
Lately my spam filter seems to have occasionally been classifying perfectly normal comments from regular commenters as spam, for no apparent reason. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s been happening slightly more than usual. I try to catch it, but … Continue reading →
