reCAPTCHA and Reorganization
Been making a few changes to my website over the past few days. Probably the most notable is the addition of the reCAPTCHA, a new CAPTCHA system that does useful work as a byproduct of fighting comment spam. The first link has a full description of the system, but basically it shows two distorted words, one is known to the computer, and one from a scanned text that the computer doesn’t know. When the human enters the known word correctly, it’s assumed they entered the unknown word correctly too, and one a number of humans agree on an unknown word, it’s considered to be identified.
The other change is a bit of reorganization of my domain. I’ve moved my weblog off over to weblog.2bithacker.net, and my gallery over to gallery.2bithacker.net. The old locations are setup to redirect to the new, so it’s probably not all that noticeable. I decided to go with this arrangement as I feel it gives a bit better separation and organization to things, and it was easier now that all my stuff is running in a jail on Hindenburg.
So… lets see… I type this word… ok…. then this set of numbers…. btw, the second thing isn’t a word, at least not the 4 or 5 times I hit refresh. Let’s see if this works…
or, maybe not. dunno if it’s working or not. are we supposed to put a space between words?
If it doesn’t work, it’ll tell you. You might need to do a forced refresh for comments to show up, dunno what’s up with WordPress’s page caching.
