Two Tech Rants

First, Office Max

I spotted a pretty good deal in the OfficeMax sale circular this afternoon, so I headed off to get a replacement for Laura’s defunct computer.  When I got to the store, I didn’t see a single desktop or laptop anywhere.  Turns out they don’t carry computers at all anymore.  Great.  I drove all the way across town for nothing.  What’s worse, since they didn’t have ANY computers there was no way I could hold false advertisement or something like that over their heads.  I don’t think I’ll be shopping here anymore.

Second, Spam Comments

These have been occuring with greater frequency, and they all seem to be coming from one IP address.  64.124.85.75 is registered to Abovenet, Inc, which seems to be a notorius spam host.  I’m working on a way of doing a Remote_Host redirect, but until then I’ve shut off all comments.  If you want to get in touch wit me about a post, send me e-mail via the contact form.
