A couple of you will have noticed that I’m not very quick at moderating comments on this blog.
Why? Because my spam to comment ratio is very high and I have, up until now, had to moderate all comments manually.
For the record, I’ve finally gotten round to moderating everything to date. I’ve also added Jeff Barr’s little trick of asking people that are making comments to type in my first name as part of the process. This should, I hope, weed out most/all of the spam.
We’ll see… I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

Finding it amusing and yet slightly disturbing that I recite the Patapon beats to any instrumental song I’ve been listening to lately.

Space travel’s in my blood / And there ain’t nothing I can do about it / Long journeys wear me out but / I know I can’t tweet without it

I occasionally use kiva.org to make small loans to people in developing countries. Seems like a nice thing to do. What follows is the text that Kiva suggests to its members to send to people via email. Rather than spam people I thought I’d just share it here…
I wanted to let you all know about a cool non-profit that is doing great things: Kiva
Kiva is a non-profit that allows you to make a small 0% loan to low income entrepreneurs in the developing world (microfinance). Individuals like you can help provide affordable working capital for the poor — money to buy a sewing machine, livestock, etc. — and empower them to earn their way out of poverty.
The way I see it, I get a higher return on $25 helping someone build a future than the interest my checking account pays.
Thanks for reading! And feel free to spread the word!!
