You have noticed that I stopped posting for about a week. You may have noticed that I didn’t update “Weekly Update…” this week either. I want to shed some light on the events over the last two weeks or so to explain my absence. Bear with me as I’m going to throw a lot of unconnected information at you and I am not going into detail on most of it (not to keep it personal, but because it would just be a boring read)…

Busy, Busy, Busy…
Ok, here’s the deal – if you have been reading my blog so far, you already know that my old job asked that I send back my laptop. So I brought a new one, it came in last week. All I still needed to do was copy over my files and pack up the old laptop. Apparently, my old laptop had some hard drive errors so now I’ve been having trouble getting my files backed up. For the most part, it’s been useless stuff that I could just delete and move on, however I lost one picture for sure and I may have lost a wav file with my sermon notes on it.

Spam made me do it.
I had to make a change to how comments can be posted on my blog. You will now have to be logged in to post a comment. Why? Well, at first it was just one little email saying, WordPress – Please Moderate Comment(s). Inside the email there was a comment from someone I don’t know and have never heard of, with a comment like, “great site!” and 50 or so links under the comment for viagra. No big deal, I simply marked the comment as spam and moved on. Then I started getting these emails two and three times a week. I couldn’t just turn of the moderator notifications – that’s how I met some of you guys.Â
I had to do something when I started getting four or five of them a day. By requiring users to be logged in to post a comment, spammers will not be able to send me these “buy my stuff” links. This also means, however that you have to be logged in to post a comment. I really enjoy reading your comments and it encourages me to keep posting, keep cycling, keep dieting, etc. So I really do hope you will sign in and post. If you haven’t yet registered, you can do so here (http://sackrider.org/myblog/wp-register.php).
