Welcome to the Joyful Cynic — Again
May 1st 2008 07:29 pm
It has been brought to my attention that the registration function for this blog has not been working properly. People trying to register were asked, as usual, to identify squiggly numbers and letters, and no matter what they keyed in, they were wrong.
It’s my understanding that this feature can be added to software so that evil automatic-registration devices cannot get on here and say rude things to me. You have to prove you’re a human being, and evil automatic-registration devices are not clever enough to read squiggles.
My technically-proficient friend who knows about this stuff and set this up for me has removed that particular requirement from the registration screen, and we seem to be good to go.
Now, I want you to know that I was (and am) majorly worried about rude machinery. But I guess I’ll chance it for the privilege of hearing from you squiggle-reading humans.
So — men, women, and machines — welcome. Again.
Just don’t say anything rude, okay?

Yes, please! Back to our regularly scheduled programing.
Sorry for the delay in getting this fixed. At least we caught it before I started my workweek(end)…

Hello? Hello? Does this work now? I wasn’t able to register before.
