A couple technical odds and ends:
First, I’m trying out a new spam-blocking plugin for comments and trackbacks (SpamLookup, by Brad Choate), and I’m a little paranoid about whether anyone’s having trouble commenting (because I love each and every one of you). So if you do have problems, make sure you email me [yukino at…] so I’ll know about it.
Second, I’ve replaced the list of links on the right with one automatically generated by Bloglines. Mostly, this because I’m super-lazy and never really updated it before. I really hope I haven’t forgotten anyone! Apologies in advance.
Added: Also, I’ve been using feedburner for the past few weeks to splice my flickr and blog feeds together. Is that annoying? Would anyone prefer I go back to providing a blog-only feed?
Thanks!
Am feeling better, lots of tea & sleep later, even if I’ve got these* staring at me, hopeful for a home. Thanks so much for the well wishes.
Oh, and Sin City! So many kinds of good, and Clive Owen too…
Comments
Those are cute! I’ve got Japanese plush toys watching over me which really does nothing for my well being but I love them anyway.
I like the way the RSS feed is setup, although I’ve only been watching since you changed it so I can’t really say I like one over the other.
I want to use my bloglines stuff instead of blogrolling too, but that means I have to organize and syn them first. I never have time for that.
I’m looking forward to renting Sin City!
Two things:
1) Let me know what you think of Spam Lookup.
2) My favorite giant microbe is Shigella… I call him Shiggy!
Alice: I’ve got plenty of those too! They don’t keep me from getting sick but they make me feel better when I am!
joz, darling: Shiggy! I love that name.
SpamLookup is pretty effective, although since it has more stringent rules I’m still a little paranoid… still, it looks like most everyone who ever comments here has been able to get through at least once since I installed!
I do wish there was some kind of notification to the commenter that their comment was blocked. Maybe in the next version!

I expect good things from Sin City. B.W. is awesome.
