I’m going to be at Bloggercon this weekend and at the dinner tonight. If you will be too, drop by and say hello, I’d be happy to chat about any of the things that are underway right now.

Check if comments come from an open proxy, an excellent way to stop the recent spam attacks some have been experiencing.

How did you name your blog?

ZDNet now has a bunch of blogs, including a few in partnership with Corante. Excellent.

I was on Paid Content, that’s pretty cool. I’ve never met Rafat Ali in person but I’d like to now that we’re in the same state.

Feeling the WordPress-ure, and liking it. Glad to have you onboard! The site is looking good. Why not go the last step and start using slugs instead of IDs in your URIs? I subscribe to Jay’s newsletter.

This is too sad for words. But I only say that because I wish I was there for it. 🙂

A few months ago I posted a copy of a moving image that got over a thousand comments before I closed the entry.

Planet WordPress, just an experiment. Any WP-related blogs I should add? I had MooKitty on there but her feed has an ad that always stays at the top.

I walked with the Leias tonight through the Castro. Props to Heather, Derek, MJ, Dinah, and three others for representing Leias in style.

Steve Gillmor is back and on WordPress at ZDNet. Here’s his RSS 2 feed, for Marc.

I’m sitting inside my new place in San Francisco. The weather is cold but I don’t feel it a bit. The water is hot, the internet is fast, and furniture should get here in a few days. What more do you need? I wish you all could see this big goofy grin on my face.
