Im mean really. Aren’t 4 characters enough for spam prevention?
Most of the blogs I comment on are on Blogger, and an EIGHT character spam bot prevention code is just taking the piss. I’ve never been diagnosed, but I believe that I am slightly dislexic, and these bloody things drive me up the wall. Even when I concentrate, it sometimes takes me 3 or 4 goes to get it right.
Surely three characters, or maybe 4 is enough to stop the bots? Eight is far to many for my mental health, and if it goes to nine I will have to give up commenting on blogger blogs.
Ok, enough rant.
Ampersand is at 20 weeks today, and I finally had a call from my old boss, asking me to come back to work when I am ready, in a year or so.

Dyslexia runs hand in glove with genius, you know my lovely! Excellent news from the boss – he must know a good person when he sees her…
Any idea when Ampersand will reveal gender? either way, s/he will be fabulous

14 years from now, “You’re *sooo* mean” will be one of the most common things you hear from Ampersand. 😉

I treat the spam prevention code as a brain work out/dementia preventative!! I try to remember all 8 letters while drinking green tea and thinking of making a curry!!!

I have a hard time with those distorted spam preventers as well & have never had a problem with reading in general. I think they go overboard with making them non-machine-readable to the point where they’re not human-readable.
