Captchas enabled

Damn the spammers. I've been forced to enable captchas in an effort to combat spam on this blog. It's amazing how persistent the spammers are at finding and spamming blogs, even very obscure blogs based on relatively obscure software. It was sort of interesting to watch how the spammers probed the blog. They found it and posted a couple of individual comments the first few times, which I removed fairly quickly. Then, suddenly, several days after the first spam events they appear to have automated the posting process, and flooded the blog with several hundred spams.
