Feed Description: Marc's thoughts on Java and more
Even though i am not blogging very much these days, it seems i need to upgrade my blojsom installtion because i am getting a lot of comment spam lately (even with the math stuff, but this can be read out easily) and adding new blojsom plugins doesnt make sense with my quite old installation.
The upgrade is unfortunately not a no brainer because Blojsom3 is nearly a complete rewrite. It now stores everything in a DB (therefore you have to run a db import script when you dont want to lose all your historical blog data) and it uses Spring heavily. So its definitely a major step forward but also some major work for me.
Its really frustrating that you have to watch out for Spam so heavily. You cant believe how much i hate these guys doing that!
