Freakishly Happy

Hey All,

I decided to try to re-open user registration for everyone to encourage people to create user accounts and leave comments. We had to shut it down a while back because we kept getting spammers creating accounts and leaving comments about all kinds of nastyness. In order to try to prevent this, I have added a captcha that requires all new users to go through several human-authentication steps. Hopefully the spammers don't just captcha their own accounts... If they do, we'll have to try to figure out something else, and I appoligize know for any future obscene comments. Any such comments will be removed as soon as possible.

I am also looking at installing several other systems to prevent spam, but am too busy contracting to deal with it at the present moment.

Wow, there's a lot of catching up to do. It's so easy to throw some pictures in a folder and jot down a few notes, and put off blogging until later. But eventually you have to come around and catch things up again...

We're about a year behind. Last time I personally updated we had just arrived in Vermont and had gone apple picking and on a couple short jaunts of photography. Well one of the main things we did while we were there last year was to help Juli upgrade her kitchen and entryway. There are a bunch of photos of the demolition / construction in the bumming around / vermont / construction image gallery.
