As I'm still being hammered by comment spam, I've taken some measures to try and stem the flow. I'm not quite ready to move to MovableType 3.0 yet, and I don't know enough PHP to switch to Wordpress, so I've come up with a solution that doesn't involve a lot of hassle: mt-close2.cgi.

From now on, comments will only be a month before an entry is closed. That should be long enough for everybody to say what they want, and short enough so the spammers don't find their way back here.

Hopefully, when I come back from America, I'll look into upgrading / switching, but this will do for now.

Oh, and Tom — I have p2.zip, but never got the signal for p1.zip, so if could repost, that would be great…
