I'm now requiring TypeKey based logins to post to this site. Why?
* Curb SPAM. I get a crapload of blogspam every day, and it's plain annoying to have to clean them out.
* Most people who post here, I could really care less if they do and they would probably be too lazy to register
* Those of you which I like posting here (Alan, Kell, Mr. Isle of Wight, Slow Grand Cherokee, etc...) would probably take the time to register and continue to post.
* I'm tired of the idiots I used to work with trying to bust my balls, in a pretty lame manner I might add. I doubt they will make accounts, and if they do I can easily ban them. If they continue to register, get banned, register, get banned, etc... then they are even more lame than I already think and really need to get a life.
* I feel like it :-)
Maybe later on I'll relax it and allow non-registered posts, but for now I think I'll try this out. If anyone has any issues with the site, feel free to comment or email me!
Posted by Kevin at July 14, 2004 10:18 PMThe first time I tried to sign up for TypeKey, it kept saying a was typing in the wrong security code part but I thought I had it right. Big pain in the ass. It wasn't bad though. Hope this keeps all the losers off of your site now. Good luck.
Posted by: MySlowGrandCherokee on July 15, 2004 1:44 AMThanks. Me too. I will say, I had no blogspam to clean out this morning, which was very nice.
Posted by: Kevin on July 15, 2004 8:22 AMI wouldn't be able to stand people at an ex-job bothering me. I need clean breaks. I even changed cell phone numbers after leaving my last place, just because I didn't like being invited to cook outs.
I don't blame you.

I am still looking for the API to real life. I'll let you know when I find it.
Posted by: Jim on July 15, 2004 3:22 PMYou were invited to cook outs? I used to sit there while people would plan their group trips to Disney around my cube. It was a very clique like place to be... But, I made a few decent friends which I still keep in touch with. Can't win 'em all at all places of business. This one took the cake though.
But, I'm over it :-) Moved on, better lifestyle now.
