Goodbye crufty old blosxom comments, hello Disqus

posted by jack at 17:06 CET in / compute / blogging

For years, I've been running a comment system here that's been plagued with a variety of problems. I've gotten tired of fixing it, and it looks like Disqus is a much more capable system anyway, so I've changed. The old comments are still around, and will probably still be around forever, but for new comments, it's all Disqus now.

Comics in my Pants

Some time ago, perhaps inspired by the daily comics-watching antics of The Comics Curmudgeon and Garfield Minus Garfield, I started a new comics-oriented blog. The premise of this blog is simple: Most of these so-called "comics" or "funnies" are anything but funny; Many of them can be enhanced (I'll stop short of saying "improved" or "made funnier") by replacing the last text bubble with a single stupid punchline. The results can be humorous, absurd, ribald, or scatological. See for yourself at Comics In My Pants. I've kept it going for a month now, dredging through the daily strips looking for spots where my punchline of choice seems to fit, at least syntactically. Enjoy!

Comments are back online. I've fixed things so that the spamming won't occur again, hopefully.

Some damned punk spammed the comments. I've cleaned it up, but posting new comments is disabled until further notice...

OK, things have been pretty quiet around here. I've been busy with traveling and ongoing parental leave, but at some point soon I'll get back on track with the nuthole, and hopefully post a new version of spinvaders soon.
