Unfortunately, this means the LiveJournal Crossposting plugin no longer functions. So, if you’re used to reading my posts via LJ, you’ll have to subscribe to the kyzokurss feed.

I’ve also decided to disable the reCaptcha plugin. I’m not sure it was actually stopping any comment spam, and it was probably just annoying the few people who do comment here.

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.
