As Darren would say, this is a boring site note.  I have finally turned on Captcha for comments to blog posts.  This means that, in order to post a comment, you'll have to answer a simple question to prove you are human. I have a feeling you'll pass the test with flying colors.

More than anything, I want to know if you have any problems with the system. Thanks.

Updated: I'm testing a new system that I can't discuss right now (it's in private beta).  This means that you may not see the captcha question as described above.

I Am a Human!

Season Greatings from Switzerland. Thanks for the interesting site :)

Yes, I'm human.

...and this human predicts that we'll see your work either aped or created by you in television advertisements within the next year. You two are just that good!

Rock on with your paper and scissors!

Human?

I might not be able to swim or dance, but as a zombie I can still add, do I count?

My friends and I are still talking about the Halloween Video...

Before I phone home...

Typical American. Please note that there are intelligent life forms besides humans that enjoy reading your blog, Lee.

ka-ching!

things look good on this side.

Not human

I'm a monkey who can solve math problems.

Human here

very challenging math problem for a machine :-)

"But I thought you were the Robot"

"Nope, Human"

"All right, all right. Spare me your life story."

As these simple math tests become more common, I imagine someone will build a bot to crack them. It's simple enough to scrape for anything resembling a math problem and then enter the result in the next available field.

Big Ups to the Humans

Now, if only we can keep humans from spamming, we'll be set. :)

To prove once and for all that I am human

After numerous mince pies, and probably too much ale...I have decided to comment here to prove that I'm still a human (and not just a mince-pie eating machine!)

Captcha's???

Just commented on another of your posts, there was no captcha code???

Captchas

Hi Laurie,
Thanks for letting me know. I just started testing a new system that doesn't show captcha to everyone. Apparently you were deemed human in some other way.

just curious

I want to see the captcha,
