Comments down

Comments at The Daily Grind are down again; Dreamhost have disabled the scripts. This time around they've sent personal and quite informative emails explaining themselves; I've no complaint with their actions, which are clearly intended to ensure the stability and of the (shared) server, and maintain something like quality of service for my co-sharees.

I'll need to poke around a bit and see what I might do to avoid being so darned popular with the spammers. Quite frankly, if this is what being in the top 200,000 blogs is like, heaven help the top 20,000... but anyway, in the meantime, save your thoughts, they're not going anywhere.
