Blog update: Comments disabled

I have had to disable comments because people were using the comment system for MaraDNS/Deadwood support concerns. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to use this blog to support MaraDNS and ask that people who have bug reports or whatever to take the time to join the MaraDNS mailing list and share with the list their concern. I have updated the FAQ for this blog to explain my thinking in more detail.

New Deadwood snapshot; allowing anonymous comments

I have just uploaded a new Deadwood snapshot; this release does not change the program, but it has updated the INSTALL.txt file to be current and all compile-time flags Deadwood has are now documented.

It can be looked at here:

http://maradns.org/deadwood/snap/

This may be my last snapshot announcement for Deadwood snapshot updates when the actual Deadwood program has not been changed.

I have enabled anonymous comments in my blog again, since it looks like Google has enabled comment spam protection. As always, comments posted here are moderated and Deadwood/MaraDNS support requests will not be published, nor will flames, trolling, and spam.

I’ve updated the blog

I’ve added a couple of things to the left sidebar of the blog:

• A pointer to a FAQ with some guidelines on what comments get approved or rejected here
• A search tool so people can search for information in older blog entries

Please read the blog FAQ before posting a comment here; the FAQ describes what comments I approve and reject.

I’ve disabled anonymous comments

I have disabled anonymous comments on this blog. Unfortunately, I am having to reject about one spam comment a day which post using anonymous identities. Even before the spammers came here, my experience has been that anonymous posters usually post something stupid or a flame; I just looked through my archive and have gotten about one useful anonymous comment in my three years of running this blog.

So, no more anonymous comments. If you want to comment here, get a Google or OpenID.
